Deville DTS at 40k miles for $18k? I'm looking to purchase a used auto around 20k. I like the 2002 S430 but it has high miles which most say isn't a problem for the Mercedes which should go 300+ if pampered. I also like the 2002 Cadillac DTS. For my price range ($20k)they come at half the mileage as the S430's do. Depreciation value, maintenance, quality, and style as factors which would you choose? OR I can go 2005 Pontiac Bonneville at 20k miles (practically new) for $18k. What do you think Yahoo!'s

It all depends on what you like. I am going through the same delima. I would say no to the S430 just cause the high mileage, even though it is a Benz things still go wrong with high mileage. If you want to ride real clean then get the Deville DTS. But if you want to get something brandnew or with less miles and you want to stay with the big car theme, get you a Mercury Marauder which you can get for about 23K or a Gran Marquis. Both of which still look real good.
