Color is kinda blah but the condition is A+ AND it's a Cali truck so that means it's most likely taken care of and hasn't seen much salt in it's lifetime. That's a good sign for lack of rust too. Lefty - I was thinking of what would be a good collector car from today for the future. I think the Raptor is going to be worth alot of money someday and as to invest in a car - that would be a very good choice. Make sure it's a 6.2L with all the options. That will really be the key for future collectors ;) Nice!

When you lease the difference in payments is not that significant. You are financing the spread between today's price and 3 years from now and it is about the same in either 7 series.

I'm not a flashy person, I like style and substance more than the name per say. That's why I'd have this over a Bentley or Rolls. It's just more of a real driver car. that and I love big sedans. GT Coupes are great, but something about a big sedan says "you've arrived" in my eyes. Can I say if I was a very rich man, this would be my daily driver over any other car made today.

Especially when there is almost a $40 grand price hike! You can have a new 7 series for $88K here, that's not a price that will make you seem like you can afford any price range, or make it seem like that is the price and you aren't willing to haggle for a better deal. Especially when you consider that you can lease a 7 for around 840 with AC. ^^Not True! Especially when there is almost a $40 grand price hike!
