Re: Who has had their RM since new?

I've wanted a RM since they came back out with them back in 1991. My mother had wanted a new car, a Buick and had her heart set on the LeSabre. I tried to convince her to wait a year until the RM came out, but she didn't want to wait. Beside it would look funny with her driving it at 5'2" . It wasn't until 15 years later when by chance I came across another one. My neighbor's daughter was in the high school marching band and one of her friend's father owned a '95. My neighbor told me he was selling it because his daughter was too small to drive it. He was saving it for her when she turned 16, but it was too big for her.He sold it to me because they already had 2 other vehicles. As I look back I see that I lost my first opportunity at a RM because someone,(my mother) was too short, but later regained the opportunity to own one when another person was too short to drive it.. I am actually the 3rd owner. The first was an elderly gentleman who spent his winters in Florida, and his summers in NY. He ended up trading in the car at our local Cadillac dealer, where the guy I purchased the car from saw it and immediately bought it. It had a little over 128,000 miles on it and is in very good to excellent shape. Considering I only paid $1500 for it, I consider it a "steal".
