E55 to S65?

A local used car dealer has a pretty nice 2006 S65 sitting on his lot, and is asking mid-$50's for it (less than what I paid for my 55). It's still under factory warranty.

Is it nuts to consider going from my E55 to the big baller S65?

Dude, don't waste your time on that POS, stick with the E55.

Say, where was that S65 again?
