-A 2011 740i CPO w/ 40,000 miles in the high $48-49k range

I'm struggling to see the value in the CPO. I'm a low mileage driver, so I'm just buying the years of the warranty....which really only gets me to mid 2015 generally.

-I'm also seeing 2010 750i's selling for about the same as a 2011 740i. Any thoughts on the difference/value between the two.

Any general thoughts or advice on buying a 2010/2011 7 would be greatly appreciated. To make matters worse, this is the first used car I've ever bought. I'm coming off 5 straight leases.

Thanks in advance. First post so apologies if my "form" is poor.
Go buy new one more time. Go get yourself a new 2013 7 series. They are giving them away in order to make room for the 2014.

Go lease it new. Then buy it at the end of the lease.

Why?

The 2013 has so many refinements when compared to 2011 and 2012.

Plus, the 2013 with ARS rides 10x better than 2011.

Your budget will be about the same. You will end up buying a used card like you want (your own). You will be the sole driver.
