Doug McGill Jr. Why does the car have to have less than 20 miles? When i picked mine up it had 83 on it.
usually car that have that much miles on them have ben used as test cars and could have been abused at first....................its better to get it at low miles just for peace of mind

If you are getting the nav system. Make them fire it up for you before you drive away. Ours was delivered and the nav system didn't work (unit problem not cd/drive problem) so they had to come pick it back up and fix it. Also ensure they give you the most current Map CD since a new one is coming out soon...May even make a deal to have them upgrade to new map data since the disk costs some pretty good $$.

Personally, I'd be okay without 2 through 6. It's not like the car was transported from Japan in a hermetically sealed container. If you think about it, by the time your car gets to you, it's been at two ports, a ship, and a car transport. Maybe the ship's cook took a nap in the driver's seat.
So a little handling at the dealer is not going to hurt it.
