When we get an E53 in on trade we don't even think about keeping it for our used car lot, too many miles and they usually need too much work done, off they go to the wholesalers. And as for the technology inside, todays new cars and trucks simply smoke the E53, the E53 is like a Commodore C64 computer, no comparison.
