[QUOTE="eharri3, post: 6203337, member: 591579"] So as not to let this eclipse the point I intended to make, I will reiterate that a vehicle of this caliber is not a smart used car buy. The people I know who buy them for the cheap bling usually end up miserable. There are those who pursue certain older used luxury vehicles and sports cars just for their unique desirability but these are educated buyers who know what they're getting into and can handle it because they have to have that specific car. I myself would not touch a used BMW, Benz, Rover, etc...with a ten foot pole unless it was a certified used vehicle with a good extended warranty and less than 50 thousand miles on the clock. If you are even the least bit tempted to jump on something like this you should be thinking about what's likely to go wrong at 100 thousand miles and know what it will cost to fix it. If you jump in without knowing this you are dumb. Have fun with the first 800 dollar brake job and 600 dollar tune up. [/QUOTE]
