Only has 15k miles and is a fairly good deal but I worry how much harder it will be to sell some day with that. Thoughts? It has all the options and colors I want.
Only two ways I'd buy that vehicle:
  1. CPO'ed
  2. After a third party looked it over on my behalf

Otherwise walk....There's a million E70's out there.
