if it's white then you have my blessing.
Drive a lot of them before making decision.
drive one with sports, one without sports, with l7 & without l7, with comfort seats & without.

those are my main thing along with color combo you want.

What is the asking price? I also agree with 05 plus. My buddy has 2 of the 05 530's in stock right now.

Jake,

talked to my brothe-in-law last night and he said he will try to sell his car and then we can talk about possibly getting one through you.

No problem....no steak house needed. If I can help someone from getting jerked around and save some money for future mods that is good enough for me!
