Are you dead set on buying a white one? Or a stick?

I saw a 2005 Aero Blue Limited Automatic for $22k on ebay, it was brand new (200 miles?).

I'm not sure about sticks, since mine is an automatic. But if you idle and you try to deploy the spoiler, it should stop, but only for less then a second and it'll continue to go up.

You can even get an SRT-6 for 24-26k now. Sheesh.

I'm not sure what your budget is, but it doesn't sound like you're getting a steal. It's a good deal, but nothing to die over. If you just wait a little bit, i'm sure you can get one hell of a deal, especially with winter coming up.
