My Ride: 2005 BMW 545i, Silver Grey, Sport Package, R. Shades, Cold Pkg, Sat. Rad., Prem. Sound.
If I can get a low mileage 2007 MB e63 (fully loaded) with less than 3K miles for $5K more than a 2008 550i with 3K miles more than the MB, what is the reason not to do it?
This is not a trick question . . .
