Thanks for the well-wishes guys. I just talked to the dealer and he didn't think management would let me put a deposit on it to hold... no matter how sizable the deposit. So it looks like if I want it... I have to buy it sight unseen.
Normally I am not a fan of doing that, but I may not have an option in this case. This has everything I want (minus sports seats and maintenance records) plus some very hard and expensive things to find. Heck, it might even be an S2 X5... if there was such a thing.
Will keep this thread updated...
