Ignorant? Status means absolutely nothing. I would never own a Ferrari. I drive cars because I enjoy driving them, not because some rich hippie thinks it's cool. My 929 was great, my current car is great, my previous vehicles had their charm as well. For $90k I can do a lot better good than some overpriced piece of "status".

Who cares about doing a lot of good? You sound like the hippy.

I'll ignore your ignorant comment and call you an asshat.

Because a 929 is comparable to an M5.....

Ebay's the best place to buy if your local dealerships are unreasonable. In some places, they're trying to get $20-25k over sticker for a "new" one.
my local BMW dealership. MSRP 80k. Their price: 110

Actually, there are none available that are stripped enough to have an MSRP of $80k. They tend to start at about $85k+, with most being around $90-92k. Remember, there's a $3700 gas guzzler tax on them.

Local dealerships here are trying to get $115-120k. LOL. Ebay = ~MSRP.

you can get a new m5 for msrp.. maybe not in high demand states like CA, but you can easily shop in out of state dealership and have it shipped over

What should a California resident look for when buying a new vehicle from another state?

California residents are prohibited from importing, purchasing, or leasing a new vehicle from another state, unless the vehicle was manufactured for sale in California and the Environmental Protection Agency label certifies the vehicle has California smog equipment. California considers a new vehicle to be any vehicle with less than 7,500 miles on the odometer at the time it is purchased or acquired. Click here for more information on buying a vehicle from out-of-state, from the California Air Resources Board.

:(

The E60 M5 is a 50 state car. There's no issue with smog.
