I had mine delivered to me yesterday Iridium silver/charcoal,19K miles,Logic-7,Comfort & Lighting package,Drive Dynamic seats,Command Navigation ( had the dealer down load the newest version DVD ),Key less go and electronic trunk closer and all this with CPO until 06/11
Been raining since yesterday so more picts to come later..
Note:
No i didn't buy it for 26 grand...I have been looking for one for almost 6 weeks now and the lowest i saw an '05 with mid 40K miles advertised was in low 30's...A good optioned,mid 30K miles and with good service history car is definately going to be atleast $35-$37,000 period...
Similarly,an '06 with warranty is going to be in high 30's to low 40's...

I guess you guys paid too much for your cars...
What was the point of that post? This is a forum for owners and potential buyers of the car. It's here so people can get good information (although lately that's definitely questionable). I just posted my experiences with pricing, if others don't like that the cars have dropped in price- they should realize EVERYTHING has dropped in price.

The op asked a question and I honestly responded to it. I wasn't here to make anyone feel bad or belittle them

Keep messing with me and I'll go all jrcart (or was it jangy) on your asses and talk about beating you all down and challenge you for no good reason at all. Why would someone who is obviously over 50 do that??

2005 E55
I went out tonight and met with Shardul to see how his VRP550 compared to mine. He is having some belt issues though, so he will be getting all that sorted out and we can meet up again. I really want to see the true difference between a stage 1 car and my car just to know what I would get for the money. It was nice to meet another local owner, especially a nice guy.

Apparently there is a dyno session next weekend, so I will be taking my car up there to baseline it and then go from there. Shardul will be bring his as well, with the belt issues squared away, so we should get to see the whp differences between the two as well. Once I see the numbers and results, I will likely be looking to go for a pulley/tune setup along with at least a larger cm30 pump....how difficult is the heat exchanger modification?
