Dayam that is a pretty vehicle. If you put 100K on the last one in 4 years, it sounds like you know to enjoy the shit out of them. I know absolutely nothing about Mercs, but the uncle that I purchased my first Corvette from 30 years ago has offered up his mid 90's SL300 to me at a bro deal price, but I don't really have room for it, and I have heard that it would be a nightmare to keep in pristine condition, so I am passing.

I've owned four MB and loved everyone of them. Once they're out of warranty unless you have an extended warranty they can be expensive.

You clearly missed the point. You disparaged the entire state of Alabama and it’s people, only to post your referral here. You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed.

Sorry for the thread hijack. I just figured I’d pile the troll poop into a pile in case someone wants to scoop it into the trash.

Back to the thread. Probably the nicest looking MB I’ve seen. The color shows the lines in a bold and sophisticated way. I believe perfectly fitting to Mike’s personality. I hope you have another 100K miles of good experience with the car.

I have a BMW now but i only lease those, once out of warranty they are worse. One thing about a MB it can have well over 100k and the paint and interior always looks great.

Thanks for all the well wishes. It's a great car and damn near thinks for you. Super comfortable and fast enough for me (Inline 6, 362hp, 9 speed). It's a bigger car than my C Class, so I can't really toss it around the way I used to, but I wouldn't want to. Coming from a car that size, this has tons of room.

I told the dealership that if I saw any sort of paint protection, nitrogen in the tires, or any other extras that I didn't specifically approve of, or if I saw any holes drilled in the front fascia for a license plate bracket, I would refuse delivery.

I've had a couple of Lexes which are nice cars even the sports models. But nothing drives as nice and fun as a German car. You'll definitely enjoy this car.

I really enjoyed that E550 'vert that I had for a while. But, was Jones'in for another stick, so sold it on Carvana.

402hp out of a 4.7L V8 with twin turbos. It wasn't slow! Surprised many Mustang drivers that thought they had something!

Nice car Mike! Enjoy.

That car looks like 80 grand.

Ain’t that the thing? Some **** (Not you) sees a $70k Merc and starts with the ‘Look at the baller’ bullshit then gets in a $70k 1/2 ton pickup and drives off.
