Our buddy has his dealers license and that’s where we usually get them from, although my last one came right from the Mercedes dealer. And I’m not sure what you mean by flooded, there aren’t a lot of 750s around relatively speaking. Not like a Hyundai elantras for example.

I mean there is a very large percentage of German cars that go to the lease auctions compared to their market share. Almost nobody buys them outright, there are almost always leased. Hyundai's are the biggest POS's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the CLS 550 and if i went car that prob would be where i would buy.

I haven’t sat in a CLS, is it big enough for you? Our buddy has a 2016 S8 that he just had some work done, it’s putting out around 700 hp and is just retarded fast.

Been dabbling in auctions for over 20 years. Maybe in your world but in US cars like Nissan, Honda, Toyota and come through Manheim, OVE etc. High end go to closed Franchise only auctions for the most part. The orphan, high mileage end up in the secondary market after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does any of that matter to the initial point? The initial point being that you could program a robot to perform a financial transaction. I guess you thought I was specifically talking about some type of specific automation robot that you're the expert of but it was really more of a referral to robots in a very general manner. No matter how hard you try to hide it, I can tell you were truly offended and that's okay. This is more what I was thinking of: https://www.forbes.com/sites/forbestechcouncil/2018/05/01/the-robots-are-coming-to-corporate-finance/#2b5e30856b6e Edited February 13, 2019 by XC.Morrison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other point was Hyundais have been phenomenal cars for value and reliability. Just did check Adessa on OVE, BMW and MB under represented compared to most other brands.
