Oddly enough, this is what brought me to a BMW. I was originally on the search for a Toyota 4Runner in the $15k-20k ballpark. What I found was a 10 year old vehicle with over 100k miles.

I remembered Top Gear episodes where they found old used luxury cars for a pittance. So on a lark, I checked out BMW and Mercedes only to find that I could get a similar year car with more features and LOWER mileage for the same price.

For example...this 4Runner has 99k miles and is $17k.
