It seems like high mileage and high price. If you are getting a bad feeling, just walk away. Don't worry, there are many out there equipped like this one. I think you could do better. Just my opinion.

hello

i guess my fundamental question is? Can the dealer give you the VMI ? i was told they can let you look at it but cant give it to you, yet others have told me that they cant let me see it, and others have showed me the VMI- the answer seems to be all over the place?

I'd walk away after telling them off on the BS they are giving you about the VMI. When I bought my CPO E550 the VMI is something I requested and it was promptly faxed to me. I am highly allergic to BS and would never do business with someone who is peddling BS.
