A few follow up notes...................we are looking specifically for a '07 with 40K or less -or- a '08 with 60K or less / in silver with grey interior and NAV. NO mods. As close to showroom condition as could be expected IF you are asking top $$

My view as a potential buyer is this for a specialty vehicle: I don't wake up everyday, look in the mirror and decide to spend $30K+ on a used SUV. If I do then it's going to be exactly what I'm looking for. If not, I'll wait. I've already waited 9 months since the beginning the thought process.

For some of you who see me maybe as a 'unreasonable' - or- 'difficult' customer - substitue an earlier 911 - same scenario and see if those few come back with the same response. Doesn't matter whose dealerships' name on the marque. They failed in EVERY step of the process. As a consumer, if I tell the sales person clearly my criteria when making a major purchase. They either can or can't deliver. If they can't in terms of product or service, that's fine, Next.

As a Euro Technician, I have survived in my trade by under-promissing and over-delivering for years. It's my credo. Most of my customers expect it. I deliver (or try to) EVERY time. It really pisses my off when I rarely ever get this in return, even when I state before hand my expectations.

As far as Carmax, their original guy who appraised it or bought it at auction failed in his eval. Then the service dept in NC failed to notice obvious issues, then the service dept in Dulles Va after a requested re-check, emissions test and state inspection failed.
