Nice car there, vdupower. Of course with the $75K reserve not met, who know how high it will run...I would guess it will at least be in the low-mid 80K's. I think shipping the car to SoCal from TX might only run between $700-900. So it might be worthwhile for you to look into it, vdupower, if you can get a good deal on it. Based on the options, the MSRP runs in the $112.6K range. But of course you can just bid up slowly up to your max amount. You never know you might get lucky. It's quite a well loaded car. Take off the pano, add Distronics (obviously cannot be with P30, and change to a non-black color--and it will be my ideal car.
Thanks for the other pointers towards new car purchases. Even though most of our cars were bought new it actually is something we try to avoid and prefer to buy slightly used. All of the Mercedes we bought over the years were fresh out of leases with the exception of the old diesel tank we still own.

BTW I do not think the 2011 had painted brake calibers with the performance package. I have looked at a couple and just don't remember them being painted but I also was not looking specifically for that. I am going to test drive one next week though and will try to pay attention to that detail.

yeah i wonder how many hondas that car was traded in for,
ill take 2 accords a civic and a del sol
good advice above, ill check all those sites too
in regards to the trade in car, i figure i would be a better deal to sell that car completely independent of the purchase car, rather than make it a trade in?

The car at the Honda dealer belongs to the owner of the dealership. The pictures of the dash are old and it has 1600ish miles. Been exchanging emails with their sales guy.

You buy the car from the place selling it then a lot of times the dealer can recommend some shipping company to use. If they can't then just get online and a number of websites exist to get shipping quotes from. Just remember the TTL you will have to pay in your state and will not be rolled into the selling price at the dealer. That car at the Honda dealership though is listed for well over $100k and was $115k msrp originally. I'd be rather surprised if they accepted a reasonable offer on it.

Oh I thought u meant get it transferred prior to purchase. That's what I would want. I don't want to buy anything with personally checking it out.

We have bought cars out of state a few times. In all cases we flew there to finalize the deal and see the car. In some cases we drove the car home with the longest distance being south Florida to Texas. Unfortunately though depending on where you buy it if you plan to drive it back you can face some extra taxes.

Personally, I think the easiest is to fly there on a one-way ticket and drive it back. Hey, it will be a nice trip since the E63 is essentially a GT car perfect for such a long drive.

But in some cases you have to pay more in taxes doing that. For example if I buy in Cali and drive back then I have to pay some Cali specific taxes unless I have been grossly misinformed. Kind of sucks because we routinely have to travel for work anyway and would be a way to a free flight. We even get flown to Germany enough to make Euro Deliveries appealing but too bad MBZ does not do those on AMGs.
