Dark Grey exterior, black leather interior.
First off, I’m going to list absolutely every single issue this car has, because I’m not here to dump some lemon on anybody. That’s bad karma and I don’t need it.
Wear and tear? Just what you’d expect from a 15-year-old car. Rear bumper is original, and has plenty of scratches and other scars. A couple of minor dents, scratches on the body as well. Not really worth fixing. It’s missing a small plastic piece in the bottom of the bumper/air-dam. Not really noticeable, but simple to order and pop in, if needed.
Warning lights? Yup, every time you start the car. But they’re all insignificant.
Something about one of the adaptive headlights not moving. Boo hoo. All the lights work fine. A/C fan isn’t great. Sometimes it doesn’t blow strong enough.
Fuse blew out on the cigarette lighters. I don’t smoke, so I don’t care. USB won’t charge my phone because it’s on the same fuse. If you know how to change a fuse, you’re good.
If you do a fair amount of highway driving, you’ll find the oil level gets low and needs to be refilled. Can’t say why, but I can tell you that it’s been that way for years now, and isn’t part of some larger problem. The engine runs perfectly. And there’s no oil spot on my driveway. But if you do a lot of highway driving, then perhaps this isn’t the car for you.
Which brings me to the reason why you SHOULD buy this car.
To put it plainly, she is an ABSOLUTE BEAST!!
We are talking about a German-engineered twin-turbocharged 4.4 liter 32-valve V-8! With a six-speed automatic transmission, obviously.
Have you ever driven one? Probably not. Do you want to? Believe me, you do!
Immense power that you can summon at the flick of your foot. But so quiet and smooth, it will make you giggle, if not laugh out loud. And I’ve never filled it with anything other than 91 Premium.
This isn’t some BMW 740, with its puny 3.6 liter V-6. Please. Those are for tourists. I’ve had this baby up to 125 on the freeway, with my son in his car seat in the back. I’ve crossed the light at Venice and La Cienega doing 90! (I am not recommending this. Please obey all posted speed limits.)
If you floor it and rev the engine too high, it will eventually temporarily shut down two cylinders and run at reduced speed. You pull over, turn her off, and rest a little, and then it’s good as new. Happens to me about once a year. It’s actually a nice safety feature if you want this car for your teenage son.
It’s a comfortable, luxurious ride. Both front seats move in a million different ways, with programmable memory. There’s obviously leather everywhere. Heated seats, cooled seats. The sound system is awesome. Still, 2010 was a while ago. Bluetooth for the phone but not for your music. But you can plug that in with a simple adapter. And it’s got built in navigation. And a backup camera. And Sirius radio, if anyone still cares.
And even though it’s a 2010, it’s only got 91,000 miles. So in a lot of ways, it’s really just an 8-year-old. Moonroof/Sunroof, 2 keys, massive back seat. Huge trunk. Electronic window shades rear and sides, to hide from paparazzi. I’ve been driving this baby for over ten years now, and loving it. I’m selling her because it’s finally time to move on. My buddy offered me his used Tesla Model S at a great price, and it just felt like the right moment to make that move.
If you bought this car new in 2010, it cost you over $110,000. For real. Plus tax!
Kelley Blue Book average is $6,831. So that’s my price. No car on the road today, that drives like this one, can be owned for that price.
It’s even got a few gallons of gas in the tank. Yours free! And registration is paid through next September. Wow.
