Good on Simpleman. It is a nice car.

After what, 15 years or more of interaction, I'm up to speed on your personality and knew you were breakin' balls for fun.

I'll be driving either of the 2 trucks in this crap. Especially if we get the 2' the weather guessers predict.

He bought the car from the MB dealer I bought it from, was always serviced there, and he traded it for a newer version of the same thing.

... and being 4 yrs old it's already 50% depreciated.

The only way to buy a MB, or the way I did when I had my SL500

I loved my CL but a few years down the road at 46k the ride suspension went out. Sensors started going out and it was time to get rid of it.

Exactly; a good bit less than half price of new. Let someone else take that beating. Been there, done that.

Tempting but she's going to stay bone stock. I already have another go fast toy that I can bang gears on.
A LOT easier to resell a Benz that hasn't been molested.

Fingers crossed but checkbook ready. No way this thing can outspend the GTO

V10 with an aluminum intake. Vacuum leak from it warping because they fit 20lbs of shit in a 5lb bag.


The part alone was $5400

You should be...well-deserved.

The power and comfort is gonna get under your skin, trust me. I'm looking at either an AMG GT or AMG S-Class Coupe as my next trade up.

Enjoy, and Deutschland Uber Alles!
