Yep, absolutley, thats the only one im happy about that i beat.

The sticker on my car was $129,400. I bought it for $76,000. Less than two years off the original owner took delivery. The biggest depriciation is already lost.... most important, thats why i dont really by first year runs. Too much to take a hit on...

Depreciation is a bir problem with AMG cars and worst of the 65 models. You made an excellent decision bby buying a used one, hence letting the first owner get economically smaked by the first year depreciation.

As for insurance mine is under $1600 annually, and of course that is full coverage.
