Holy crow, Batman! I paid $40,500 for mine new! So, there is some
difference... I didn't get sport nor tip. The CD changer costs $250 new
aftermarket, so that's not a big ticket item. But still, this price seems
awfully high for a car with 20k miles. If _I_ could get this, I'd sell mine
and buy an allroad instead. :)

Does he live on a dirt road? If so, I wouldn't recommend it. Besides which,
it still comes with 16" wheels, and they're a style I don't particularly
like (plus, the spare tire has the other style wheel). Suspension is easy to
do after market, the seats are not. All I would've been interested in was
the seats, and I couldn't justify the money just for seats.

Best regards,
Brad
