Meh, not surprising. Although buying new and keeping it until it gets junked is the best way to do it. This way the previous owner doesn't get a chance to screw it up. My dentist does that, right now he has owned his 2000 S430 since it was new, in a few years he will probably buy a new SL as a daily and turn the S430 into his boat car/beater.

My friends dad does this with Lexus, he buys new and drives them until 250k-300k miles and donates or junks them. He just junked his wife's Honda Odyssey, 260k miles and the 3rd trans was starting to go south, it wasn't worth another 3k rebuild.
