it is not a cpo, $26,900 is this a decent price for the car and will it be over paying
Find one with an extended warranty or get a CPO. It is worth the extra money.

Do NOT buy an E60 without a warranty.

You might want to double check your prices on the 550.
Someone is smoking crack if they think they can score a CPO loaded for under $40k (that is in mint condition)

With these electronic cars, get the extended warranty by purchasing CPO. Unless, you do not intend to keep the car for more than 1 yr.
