One owner - carfax checks out... looks loaded.

Don't really need the 4WD but it looks oh so nice in white...

Size is infamous around these parts
looks nice, mileage looks a bit high, but if was well maintained that's important. Have you shopped this model/year car yet? I don't know how it compares in price to others. Also, is this a certified car too?

No CPO.. Hyundai dealer- probably some more wiggle room in that price.

The price has dropped $10k in the last week. Maybe C4S's don't hold their value as well.

Oooh. Fire extinguisher.......better check the DME on that baby. Mileage has driven the price. Be sure to check for paint work too. Check to see if there were any engine mods...

Red flags everywhere .
1) tricked out with
2) fire extinguisher at a
3) Hyundai dealership ?
4) Non CPO
5) lots of miles

It's like asking a **** star for an AIDS test . In fact I think you might be higher risk with that car.

Hmm, either they're masking something or the car was just for show and a DD. I say get a DME report to know the truth. What stands out to me is someone ordered it debadged with aero kit and a fire extinguisher yet the front lip doesn't show a scratch and it's high mileage. Either it was tracked and the lip replaced or it was babied and driven on the freeway a lot. Only the DME will tell the true story. The fact that it's at a Hyundai dealership doesn't bother me, could be the owners car. Gather as much history as you can.

There were a tremendous number of used Porsches listed on Lexus websites recently . If it's not an owners car .. maybe the used car managers see more room to profit on a used Porsche than anything hyundai has to offer.

You're right - best to steer clear.

Carfax shows a one owner and they bought it at an auction - been sitting on it for three months. Seems like a lot of miles for someone tracking the car though.

The search continues.... M5 goes away this week.

2007 an 60 grand with a gazilion miles . So I peeked in my region at cars that have ask prices under 72K and low miles. These three caught my attention .
All look nice.

1) 07 C4S (if AWD floats your boat) - http://www.thecollection.com/pre/veh...7&F_b=2&F_pg=2

2) 06 C2S - Silver . This one has the Champion Tubi /F77 engine mods and is listed on their site .
