yeah sorry about that got a little crazy there. Well its not the only LMB coupe but I am very exact on what i want. like for example Black interoir, LMB, Z51, manual and HUD it must have these options and colors.

Might be helpful if you'd put your location - - at least your city or state-- in your profile. That way, other forum members can let you know about cars that might meet your criteria . . .or dealers that don't know what they're doing.

ok,The long and short of it is the car suffers from the DBS that affects some 05 mz6's and a few 06's.There's a reflash for the problem right now under TSB.Tell the guy to get a new battery for it,take it in for the reflash,prior to your picking it up.Check up top in FAQ section for info and details.

I've got an 05 and while I never had DBS(I did have a bad battery from the factory) I've had my share of first year problems. I'd buy an 06, just my .02--Ed
