This looks like it's in NYC. If you want, we have MANY members from NYC who can help you look at the car and also test drive it before you purchase it. If I have time, I can happily help you go look at the car.
I second that

damn you're perceptive i read the post again and scanned for context clues and was like, "uh i guess 160 miles away from maryland could be NYC, but it could be like VA beach too...how does he know it's NYC?" then i looked closer, at the pictures
Its in Bay Ridge we can check it out, im there all the time. My grandmother lives there. On a diff note, when I returned my 550(08) they ask if its been in an accident, and although mine was and it was minor (in front of my house) if it has it cannot be CPO'd. Thats what they told me. You can check throuh carfax, but me, member Vlad, and others will be happy to check it out for you. Im going to be in Bay Ridge on Friday and Ive owned the same car for 3 years, same model. If you need any help let me know, ill be happy to help you too Mel

Thanks Mel! You guys on this board are amazing! I hope I have a chance to return the kindness at some point! Would it be cheezy to offer a $25 starbucks gift card for the first person who is able to stop by and take a look and report back? It's not much, but hopefully a little something to repay the favor...
