just got the upgrade!!!

i had an 03 S55 and was in the market for something newer for the last 6 months and never really found anything i liked enough. Well...i expanded my field to over 100 miles from my house and sitting on the show room in a tiny town here in Southern Cal. was a low mileage loaded 06 S65 i called and they said it was fully loaded and one owner.blk,blk. i asked the price and they shipped me the original purchase sheet and it was over 170,000.00 i then told him great but what are you selling it for. the guy says 109,000.00. so i hung up and asked for the manager and told him i needed the best price for a one time deal right then over the phone. he then told me that this car was not for the small town and no one could buy it. so i got the car delivered to me 40,000.00 below book!!! oh boy
Even got the four place seating optoin
