Looking to Buy

Hey all,
I'm looking for a 2005 or 2006 E55. I live in the midwest and it appears there are quite a few in the Chicago area, none of which are CPO'd. Would you buy one that wasn't CPO'd? Has anyone bought from Exotic Motors, Lucky Motors, or Luxury Motors? Their prices seem to be really good

Dont go to luxury motors...and don't buy without a CPO Warranty. You're tempting the devil...

Try Loeber or Westmont - I know the dealers personally and trust them.

CPO is not all its cracked up to be! Find one with factory warranty and there are many fairly inexpensive warranties.

Any recommendations of third party warranties available? My car is coming up on 43K miles with two years left on the factory warranty - just considering buying an extended third party warranty - suggestions appreciated -
