Also, how would I know if this thing has magnetic ride control or not? And is it guaranteed to have NAV, or was that an option even for this one? And I'm curious to hear what a car like this should be going for currently? It has 19,700 miles. 3 of the 4 wheels have curb rash, and there's a few paint chips on the front of the hood. Should I buy this one or pass onto something else? They're asking $43,999 for it. Good deal or no? Are these rare at all? Resale worth a darn on this thing in a couple of years? All opinions are welcome.

TL;DR: If you like the Hot Wheels package, go for it. These will be rare, so I'd expect good resale value, and the price is right in this current "climate".
- A8 vs A10: I wouldn't be deterred by the naysayers, there is a
known good fix for A8 issues, and it's a fine transmission, especially when tuned
- MRC and nav: to make sure, you need the window sticker from the original owner, or check the service ID label in the trunk, it's in the middle under the floorboard
- Cosmetic issues: I'd try to negotiate based on these, not sure how bad that curb rash is, but it's typically fixable at $50-150 per wheel, and a few rock chips are both inevitable and fixable (again, we haven't seen them, so it's impossible to tell how bad they are)
