If you are looking for a newer car, Carmax is actually a good way
to go. They are not the typical car business so you can feel free
to test drive whatever you want and they do not pressure you. If
you find something out of state and one of their other stores, you
can have it transferred.

I am giving the Lexus a try. I'm sure it will be fine for a while. Then, you
are probably right, I will be looking for a BMW or Mercedes. I just couldn't
pass up the opportunity to buy the lexus. I am getting a GREAT DEAL on it.
So, I will drive it for a while and then sell it. I am currently working on a
case that could be one of those cases lawyers talk about 20 years later. I am
representing 6 firefighters that were injured in an explosion. If I am right
about where the law in Kansas stands on one particular issue, I will be looking
for a much newer BMW or Mercedes. Perhaps a 2013 BMW 750Li with twin turbo V-8
(445 HP and 480 lb.ft. Torque)? Or perhaps a 2013 S550?
No. Probably not. I would probably buy a 2-3 year old S-Class or 7 series and
save myself a $30,000 in depreciation. For example, I found a 2010 Mercedes
S550 with only 12,000 miles for sale on Car Max for $68,000. The car sold for
$95,000. So, $27,000 loss in value in 2 years and 12,000 miles! HOLY COW!
The BMW didn't fare much better. I found a 2010 750Li with 16K miles for
$65,000. Original price, $90,000!
