Default Exciting weekend... of car shopping!

Well, the time has come. After lurking in these forums for a while and doing a lot of research, I am ready to take the plunge and buy a M6S this weekend. I thought I'd let you guys take a look at the cars I am going to be test driving and see if anything jumps out at you. The first two are 2007 models, which is what I would prefer to buy because of the 6 speed automatic and the other minor updates for that model year. Unfortunately, neither have a spoiler or the dark interior, which is what I was hoping for, but those things can be added/overlooked.

Sorry about the large link size! Since dealers seem to be terrible at advertising the correct trim level, can anybody decipher what trim each of these cars is? Also, can you point out any major differences between the cars from the same model year? Thanks! Last but not least, thanks to everyone at this forum who provide tons of great information, you made my decision to buy this car an easy one, and once the sale is final, I'll make some posts showing some mods I have planned, and probably asking advice on attempting those mods as well!


Edit: Oh, there is one more thing. If these cars had been affected by any recalls or TSBs, I imagine the dealership should have pref

Quick update - I ran auto history checks through http://www.AutoCheck.com. Oddly enough, all five of those cars were rentals prior to their being on sale currently. I have ALWAYS tried to stay away from buying an ex-rental because of the abuse that they take, but it seems I have no other choice in this area of FL. What are somesignsthat I should look for that would make me want to turn away from the car and run at full speed?
