That’s strange because the Carfax I posted says it was stolen, if you still have his contact info, please pm it to me and I will check if it’s the same car. The undercarriage has no visible damage when I look under it parked in the lot. Drives fine in the parking garage but I can’t test it further because I’m waiting for the title.

Will do.
How long of a test drive did you get before purchase?

Given it is fully loaded, in excellent condition, not requiring anything beyond maintenance and painting the rear bumper , and salvage reason being it was stolen ( the vin is the same, they reissued the sticker), yes, I got a good deal! A 3 year lease on a similarly optioned S560 is 15k more than this actual car.

*I’m also taking a 20k tax write off, = )

Your max tax deduction would be $18k ($10k 1st year + $8k bonus) not $20k assuming 100% business use. Not to split hairs but......
