(I've posted the same thread over on Rennlist, my apologies to those who peruse both sites for the repetition)
Yesterday we picked up a lovely 2004 S "550 Anniversary" car. We bought it from Pfaff Motors (the local P-car dealer) and it came with 22 months of CPO, four brand-spanking new Michelin Pilot Sports, new brake rotors, pads and hardware and a bunch of pre-delivery service that included a brake system flush.
The car is in beautiful shape and I plan to over-maintain it with regular IMS and water pump changes amongst other things.
My little guy and I took it for a drive in the country this evening and it was beautiful. the car is wonderful to drive and is very tight.
Pfaff was awesome, in particular the salesman we dealt with, John Hulley, was top notch. The tires were a real surprise as when I looked at the car last week, the old tires were still on. They were four years old and had 4 mm of tread depth, so they were OK and I was fine to buy the car with those tires (and was already planning to be buying new ones next year). When I realized the dealership had chose to replace them on their own accord, I was very impressed.
Here are some pics from our drive:
