Congrats!The first thing you will notice is wow, this thing really MOVES! Then before you know it, the next thing will be, where did all the GAS go! You will soon be learning how to drive it at a more moderate pace. Hell, within the first 20 hrs of owning it, I was already filling it up! (gas light came on) Yes, it was full when I left the dealership..... I was averaging around 12.5 mpg the first week of ownership. I now average around 16-18mpg.By all means have fun with it, but pay attention to that gas gauge! It's not lying. Soon the interior features will draw you away from your lead foot....but not for too long!

Make sure to offer under $20k for it, and work up from that. Higher mileage cars (without b-b warranty), even with premium and entertainment packages, sell for a lot less than cars with 20-30k miles.

Nice ride, just priced a little too high. Good luck!

That is WAY to high of a price for that car. I got an 07 M45 with only 20,000 miles for $23,995 with tech, sport, aero kit, advanced tech and all the other goodies. That was just last month.

If you haven't pulled the trigger on it yet, I would seriously reconsider until you find a better deal. Unless of course, they let you have it for $15-16K

Prices on the M45s vary by as much as $3k across the US. Certain areas are cheaper than other regions. He is in California, where RWD cars typically retain value better there than in snowy Minnesota.

Also, Bob, the deal that you got is so far the best I have seen or heard of, so we should not use that outlier as a benchmark.

The price you pay is all relative. It would be like comparing insurance rates with everyone. Bottom line, if you're happy at the price you paid and don't have buyers remorse, you did good.

I agree, different regions value these cars differently. Try to pick up a mint conditioned 07' M45 with 20K mi or less for under $27K in Houston or Texas. Definately not going to find one at a dealership for under that.You guys make me feel like I got ripped a new one! It's not going to happen unless there is physical damages to the car. Prices do vary greatly per different areas of the country.

Still, $24k for an 06 35 with 60K? That is outlandish. I posted a 45 with a third of the mileage and a lot of options for about that price a week ago. Places ship you know? If you are in a part of the country where prices are higher for specific types of cars, the internet is your friend.
