M5, ... probably a little too cheap...

[gpiron]

Guys, my dealer just posted an M5, 2006, loaded, 17-18000 miles, ... for 69000, on special for 65,000...............?????[???1]

Am I crazy for smelling a rat? I talked to the department - the car was bought in August last year locally and traded in this year.

That's a good price! I guess it depends on how long they have had it. Sounds like they are selling it very close to what they should have in it when they took the trade. If it has been sitting on their lot for a while, they may just want to get their cash out of it and move on.

I ran carfax on it and it is clean, came in for oil and service only once...

 

[tool fan]

Buy it

 

[gpiron]

M5 ... not this time, snif

Buy it

Well Toolman, I chickened out... numbers did not work out the way I wanted too and after thinking about it, I realized how confortable it is to have two cars,... when one needs to go to the shop, or when you are 200 miles away from home and your wife calls you to tell you some is not right with the car... my answer, take the other one!!!

the m5 is a beautiful car -EXCEPT- u will be going to the gas station every other day...

unless u r buying it as a weekend/ recreational vehicle, it simply makes zero financial sense.

I hear you... that is exactly the reason why I have 3 vehicles... one is my work horse, the other is my wife and the last one is my week end ride... I would have replaced the two last ones... my wife does not work anymore and pulls maybe 3000 miles per year now! Her MB is an 05 and she got 13000 miles on it.

Well, next time!

...I am thinking of a lease for the next one, though...

Should have had 2 at this milage, 1200 break-in and 1st scheduled service, correct?

I personally like the older body style I will be selling the 3-series and getting an 04 M5. By the way my friend crashed the 06, SAD!!!! $13k of damage.
