I was skeptical at buying a car off Ebay, but it worked flawlessly. I flew up the day after I won and drove it back home. I don't know how long the link will be active, but I thought I'd let you guys see it.
I have the original sticker with MSRP of $35,795. I waited a year/9,000 miles and got it for almost $9,000 less. It still smells new too. To top it off, instead of a 4yr/50,000 mile warranty, I basically have a 6yr/100,000 mile warranty. Granted the last two years aren't as inclusive.
As information, I have heard from several internal sources that it does actually cost the dealership about $1,500-$2,000 to have it certified used. I think I got a pretty decent deal, especially with the certified used deal throwing the warranty out until 11/2007. Here is a link to the Ebay auction and some pictures. What do you folks think?

At this point, I've put some chrome exaust tips on it from Roadster solutions and they make a huge difference.
Also put in a OEM cd changer this week.
Suggestions for the next project?
