The deal was just completed. Still waiting to transport the car to me. Its at a relative's home right now. Anyone know a trucking company/trucker coming down from NJ to GA?

It's here- Finally!
It's very nice, I never knew how awesome these cars are built and the vast number of functions are mindboggling but surprisingly easy to learn.
I absolutely love the aound system but cannot seem to get the voice commands for audio and A/C to be loud enough. I adjusted the navi volume is there a seperate volume for the audio and other commands?
Theres only one light out in the overhead console (driver push on spot light)
I will need to take the rear bumper off because it is sitting a little high in the middle due to something misaligned under it, this is causing the trunk not to latch properly.
Break wear indicator on indicating needs new pads.

Otherwise the car is in good shape and fully functional. Its so smooth on the road seats are amazing in the rear with UL package.

I thought the cooler box had its own cooling system but apparently it simply takes cool air from the rear a/c, I wonder how cold or not cold thats gonna keep the drinks. I guess thats why they call it a "cool" box and not a refrigerator.

Anyone gots instructions on how to remove the rear bumper on a 02 body style LS? It would be much appreciated.

I will be posting pics soon.

Why do you need to removed the rear bumper? Hopefully your purchase works out for you.

The trunk is bottoming out on the center of the bumper, looks like there is something underneath preventing it from sitting flat. The center of the bumper is bulged up slightly preventing the trunk from sitting in its place.

They are only night time exterior shots but they'll do for right now.
