Default Any help on a Used CTS

I have a friend at work interested in a 2008 CTS at an Acura dealer in West Palm Beach. If anyone is willing to take a look at it and maybe give me your driving impression on it it would be appreciated. Here is a link to the car:

Thank you.

I'm in NoVa but my beater is an 08 CTS. Mine has the direct port engine and the higher level sports package. It's been a great car so far with about 15k on it. It is definitely not a luxury ride but reminds me more of my old 5 series BMW. The 08 CTS is a great car for the money.

The one linked has 17 inch wheels so I'm going to say it has the base suspension package.

Thank you for the input. Seems like these CTS's are pretty good.

Was trying to find someone in the area that can look at the condition of that particular car since it would probably be an internet purchase.

Hmmmm...used 2008 CTS? Better do a Carfax and find out if it has been wrecked or if it was a program car. My sentiments are to stay away from ex-rental fleet.
