Sounds like you made up your mind and it’s a solid car for the mileage. I’ve owned a 2018 540 and 2020 M550. But both way lower miles. Currently have 38k on my M550.

These cars are awesome. We have an entire thread dedicated to how difficult it is to find something sufficient to trade into. And it’s not exaggeration.

I’d have probably shopped for something with lower miles but you’re getting it pretty inexpensive. If you get 40-50k miles out of with minimal issue, that’s pretty good for $14k.

FWIW there are many of us daily driving M550’s with minimal issues. The only recurring theme is the coolant expansion tank. On a higher mileage car you may find it’s already been done.

Joe mentioned Route 66 - they have a great warranty for the M550 and I’m sure 540. But not sure they’ll cover a car that’s already over 100k.

You’ve definitely done your homework and seems like you are plenty capable of making the call yourself. I didn’t click the link but someone mentioned the blue interior. Love that combo of white with blue Dakota! I had the Dakota in my 540. It’s a great material. And on the 2017-2020 you could have multi contour seats with Dakota, didn’t have to get Nappa. That’s what I had. Nappa is nice too. In a vacuum, I would take either. But better optioned cars just usually have Nappa, especially 2021+ (LCI).
