OMG.. I came this close " to buying another MCS today...

It was a close call for sure... The car was a 2006 MCS in dark silver.. with only 4K miles on it! It was an automatic with about every option.. stickered at $28K and had an extended warranty! I already have a 05 DS MCS.. This one was an auto and I thought about it for my wife as she has been hinting to get one....
The AMAZING part was I could have gotten it for only $23K... A friend of mine bought it for his wife who liked it but found it to be impractical. So she bought a S60 Volvo and was going to trade it in to the dealer. They called and aske if I wanted it..
I thought about buying it and re-selling it for a profit... but instead... I called a good friend who bought it on the spot... Had it been another color my wife liked... It would have ended up in my garage.... OH well.... My friend got a great deal..
