good point, does anyone have any comments on reliability?

Personally I've had dozens of problems but it seems to be the exception.
I think an 05 with only 2100 miles will be overpriced. Look for something with more miles and a clean record with good maintenance records. The warranty will expire after 3 years, regardless of how many miles aren't on it! Look inside the driver's side door for the build date. Cars tend to have between 10-15 miles/year, so an 05 should have about 20,000 miles now.

Just do a search for "problems". There's a long current thread on issues with the S197.
