Nice!  I have talked with others who have said 500k is easy on these cars -  
they are built to last.  Apparently there is an enthusiast group of owners of  
these type of cars out there.

Had zero intentions of buying another car, as we have 3 already, but driving  
down the street and saw this and was just drawn to it for some reason.  I have  
to say, it's the smoothest ride I have ever had.  The word float doesn't do it  
justice.

The trunk has a power assist feature that is shot on it, so need to figure  
that one out.  To open the trunk you have to be as strong as Hercules - the  
trunk deck must weigh a ton by itself!
