I did that with my BMW. It's fully loaded, has EVERY option, but here's where you get fucked:
repairs
Make sure that if you put HIGH MILES like I do (and you blow through the factory warranty in like 2 years) you can afford the repairs. Two $3,000 months already.
Also factor in oil changes, etc. Sure, the BMW dealer picks my car up from my house, changes the oil, cleans the inside, washes it, tops off all my fluids, rotates my tires, then puts it back at my house .. but it's $200 to DO that!
... beware!
