Of course the vibration was a well-known issue and is most likely unrelated to how long it was on the lot, but oh well.

Believe me, I'd like nothing more than to get over to the dealer and take delivery the day it's ready . . . I'm just not liking my odds that my wife will agree with my (lack of) financial logic to paying the final month's lease payment then turning it in a week later.

Thanks for your replies. I will post pics after delivery, as it seems to be one of the few non-sport package 4.8's here. Went with monaco/saddle brown - I have natural brown in my 330 now, so am looking forward to the different saddle tone.
