Hi all,

As a potential first time owner thanks to everyone on this site, I've been able to do a lot of research on price, CPO vs. non, and the like. I must admit it's a little deflating seeing other users get such great prices on their 250's in the pricing threads, I must truly be naive car buyer

But, I think I may have finally found a decent deal on a used 2008 CPO, was hoping to get a few opinions on it:

- listed at 26k, got quoted 28.2 OTD
- HID Lights, premium package
- 30k miles

I'm a little worried though because according to the service history it's been a loaner a couple times. Is this the reason for the aggressive price? Copied below is the first page of the service history.

Good deals are always out there.It's just a matter of finding them and doing some great negotiating.
I'm not a fan of buying lease turn ins or loaners.

to me this doesn't look like it was a loaner before. Some dealers when they give loaners to customers include the the record in maintenance history. My IS also shows similar loaner items in the maintenance history.
