Jacob, welcome to the forum. Sounds like a good deal to me with only 21K, barely broken in. Good to have a fellow Californian aboard. Have fun on this forum and enjoy your new ride.

Hey Jacob, welcome to the forum, sounds like a deal!
Great to have you here and nice intro / info...
There's usually plenty going on in most sections, most of the time.

You might find the off topic good for fun, maybe check out the mug shot thread and add yours?
Don't forget the regional section and also the detailing section is a must.

Some good guys and great techs, top vendors and more to come....all good

In the meantime I've upgraded you manually to full forum access so you can better veiw the site

Welcome. What color did you end up with. You said luxury package that means you got the chrome trim correct?? Sounds like a really good deal consider 3 years ago when it was new it was 65000 and some just broke it in for you. Cant wait to see pics.

Ya its black and the chrome details. It also has adaptive cruise control which I haven't used yet. The only problem is the plug in the center console doesn't work.

Sounds like a Good Deal to me. I've been continually watching the prices of Used STR's going back to 2003, and for those in good operating order from (and I don't mean to discredit any dealierships but) "Widely Known or Bigger" dealerships seem to have higher values but, offer nicer warranties etc. BTW, I had a problem with the Plug in adapter in my center console on my 2005 STR. It turned out for my car to be a 4 dollar fuse that's located beneath the drivers seat (if memory serves me correctly), as you're warrantied, just take it into the dealership and they'll take care of that for you. The fuse is a square boxy little thing, black in color with 3 prongs. I have it sitting on the desk at my office, I'll take a picture of it today and upload it to this forum. Perhaps it will help you get yours fixed quicker. Enjoy that beautiful machine you've purchased!!!!

I can send you higher quality pictures so you can see the details if you like, just provide your email in a reply. Have your dealer check this because if the 07 mimics the 05, this fuse will likely be the culprit. Enjoy.
