Perfect maintenance records but repeated draggy runs. Took it to the drags strip multiple times, Lots of highway pulls etc
I wouldn't buy one with 50k on it. Or probably 30k. Only way I think I would is knowing I'd own it for a year or so, just for the novelty and satisfaction of having driven one for a while. Because by the time I can afford one new, they probably won't exist. This is the main reason I went with a 540. B58 seems reliable and felt like chances are the guy that had a lease on a 540 Luxury Line wasn't drag racing.
