get a 2yr old volkswagen phaeton w12 for about $50K, or the v8 for even less. tremendous value due to tremendously bad residual value.

Good choice Tom, welcome to the R500 club! My wife loves her's too. A great family car...I like the option of having my daughterlisten to their own music source (cd, satelitel, radio, etc.) through headphones in the back while we listen to something else up front. My daughter rarely watches TV, but she also loves the DVD players in the back. Good job on the price!

Options: 19" Sport Wheels, Parktronic, Comfort Package, Harman/kardon system, Heated Rear Seats, Airmatic Air Suspension, Panoramic Roof, DVD Navigation, Sirius Radio, 3 Zone Climate Control, Saks Signature Edition and Dual DVD (Headrests).

The drive is pleasant and it's a great family car and price fits right in our target. As I mentioned in my earlier post, my wife loves the R from the beginning while I was eyeing the DC 300 SRT-8. The good news is she said I can do whatever I want to her RX330. Hmm...

P.S. Anyone knows where I can get a set of clear lens for the R?
