personally, I would drive it first and then check out the
rest of the car.
then probably go home and sleep on it before making my
decision.

I have a friend that went into a high end dealership to buy
a certain german made car.
he asked the salesman how much?
the salesman responded "if you have to ask? you can't
afford it"
my friend turned and walked out.
my friend then went to another local dealer,
paid cash on the spot and drove his new car home.
so,
ya see not every buyer reacts the same.
