If used - what year?

[wetsuff]

I know - an 05 demo... but I can't afford it. We keep cars long enough to give them to our kids, so we need the one's that are fully evolved, or have gotten past some engineering flaw. (my daughter got our 300TE wagon and is just about ready to flip 200,000)

So a couple of question's I hope you have time for:

Is there a turning point in the production...

Is the S any more to maintain...

What's the Touring Package...(adds a lot)

Was that Burgundy only done in early years...

I appreciate any thoughts you may have. This is for my wife who never really lusted after a car 'till she saw the flanks of the Bxtr.

Thanks.
