the other optin besides leaving the checkbook home (always a chance they will take a 20 to hold it) is to bring the wife. That should pretty much elimnate the chance of an impulse buy!

Replying to: woodyww (Aug 29, 2009 9:28 am) It had 170K on it, but my local shop serviced the car. The PO was a doctor who never cut corners on repairs. At  150K it received a valve job along with a new timing chain and guides. In the past two years it had received-among other things-a radiator, a new cat, an A/C compressor, some suspension bushings, and new Bilsteins(I think the load leveling system was removed). Oh well...  On a more positive note, I'm thinking I'd be better served by an E28 or E34 M5. While not 1% as stylish as an E24 M6, a sedan would be much more practical, and what I know about the M6 carries over to the M5 almost without exception. I've already started looking...
