Most 10's have 6-8 months left from doing a quick search. For 2011 you are going to pay aprox 4-8k more from dealers. Also, don't worry about the house. There is plenty of space in the rear to sleep in

Nowhere near enough. You really need to figure the cost of the full extended CPO warranty (4495) in the price of the car. That takes you out a total of 3 years/135k miles.



The Force is strong in this one.

It is strong! And if you find one with miles that low, you better ****** it up before someone else does. I lost 3 cars with this exact combo, but it was around new years. This one was meant to be with the miles.

170 miles to get it, about 3 hours each way. It was in Long Island. Garage kept. Mint. No wrinkles in leather. I found an old registration to previous owner in the glove box and called him the other day. Super cool guy and he told me he babied it and never drove in bad weather, which is obvious. He mentioned this was the first car in the area with the "splitview" option and I do love it, since it has a wireless remote that can control the whole car. He said didn't want to sell it, but it was too big and he got a new E63 AMG for $120k. I take care of cars and he was happy to hear it was going to a home that will treat it well.

Pretty much flawless with only 24k miles.
Always serviced by MB. B service just done.
Loaded with sport package. Iridium metalic, black leather.

Hey 1bad, you should definitely jump into a s550. The car is night and day compared to the 7 and feels like it has a more luxurious fit and finish. Go luck on the car search bro
