I like either one but I will say this the BCP xB will have more options on things you can do color combo wise. I agree though buying used from a dealer has never been a good experience for me either.

Big decision for me, hopefully fun for you. I've narrowed my search to two 2008 xBs with manual transmissions. Both sound to be in excellent condition. Both owned by auto industry execs and both claimed to be meticulously maintained. Which one would you want?
Gold Mica RS5, 32k miles, standard everything (sunroof, gold interior trim etc.) except 19" TRD wheels, driven on salt roads in winter.
Blackberry Crush, 58k miles, full TRD suspension including 19" wheels, TRD exhaust, color matched spoiler, upgraded factory stereo (but not Navi), fog lights, White tail lights, minor scuff on one front fender (he's sending me photo so don't know how bad)), California car, $1100 less

Thanks AK Snowman, I am leaning towards the Gold Rush. I've been driving the same car for almost twelve years so this is a biggie for me. The Blackberry is attractive because it has a lot of mods I would want to do but I really want coilovers versus just lowered, I love the gold and of course the difference in miles. I have ideas for the GRM to set it off from David's but of course I have to buy it first. The xB is the seller's wife's car. He works for Honda and is getting her into a Honda lease.

"You know what might look good on the GRM is an off-center black or grey stripe. It would really set it apart."

Sounds like the Gold one is the winner here....
