It looks to be in pretty decent shape from the pics, driving over to check it out now... I can get it from a buddy who has a wholesale dealers licese for around $17900.

be good if you can check the service records from the dealer, but that sounds like a great price.

great price but likely because of the higher miles, if the car was well taken care of though you shouldn't have any issues.

Test drove it, it was in pretty rough shape, maintenance lights on... obvious repo.

One thing I did notice, however, was how peppy the 6 was... I was surprised.
In fact I'm not sure if I would spend the money on a 550 sport now, I think I'd just get a non sport 528 with the 6mt.


The title report shows 36K miles were put on it in one year, and I doubt it was maintained during that time at all.

Such a waste.
