I think these articles are great! We are getting to the point where you can purchase some awesome used cars for fantastic prices. However, finding a good example of a safe purchase is hard. Escpecially when most need to be purchased in cash since the age of many of these cars don't allow for loans.

This pretty much sums up all the research you would have to do through the forums before purchasing. Looking forward to one for the B8 S5 with a V8.

It's kind of hard to say that the B7 S4 covers "200,000 miles or more without major attention" when it costs $4-5k to replace the timing chain.

On the editing front, there's a "Bmw" in the second paragraph that should be all caps. As a side note, I love these articles and would be happy to give you my email address offline if you want to bounce them off me before publishing.

I would love that! Sorry about the editing, I have been putting together dozens of these "kind of" buyers guides and sometimes forget which ones have gone through editing. I wanted to put a fun buyers guide together that gives nice basic info for beginners but also has a little opinion to it.

My email is smdauber@gmail.com, send me an email and when I finish the next buyers guide I send it over to you.

I think that is pretty cool. I like to read these kinds of reviews myself. The C55 AMG that i have now was a result of going through the process of reading through tons of data... It is a 2005 model that is an extremely good reliable car and mine only has 76k miles on it. I'm liking the idea of these buyers guides to see what else is out there that might peak my interest so keep it up .

No need for apology! I compile presentations for work on a regular basis and have always found that I can't proof read my own work nearly as effectively as a second set of eyes can. At least yours are a subject I'm genuinely interested in reading through lol.

Thank you, I appreciate it! Ill send you the next one when I am finished with it. I am currently working on a Ferrari F430 buyers guide then will probably focus on a B8 S4 or maybe a E9X 335.

I love these cars, but that's exactly what prevented me from buying one. That motor sounds AWESOME.
