There is a rumor that the Maserati line will change to cheaper cars that will offer better performance figures. This way the factory can sell more of them and return to profitability.
No plans of a cheap Ferrari yet. That's a Porsche.

That's true, a C Class is not the same level as a Bentley. I only chimed in because someone mentioned a Bentley GT and then since he already mentioned that car, I might as well go with one slightly more than the C Class as well.

).
They said a new E 350 for $527 (or something like that) a month. Not sure what the $ down, but I thought that sounded like a GREAT deal. I remember when the E was new, the pitch was "own an E for less than $20 a day" ($599 per month lease).
The savings over the 5, (2400 per year), will def. add up and may help w/ some of your mods in the future.

The CLS did cross my mind, but I know I would end up in the same path as the C Class and mod the hell out of it, so for the sake of my money I just got something that looked bad *** out of the dealer
lol and NO WAY I could afford a Bentley/Maseratti...well not untill I start my own business

If you wanna sell it as a whole, not parted out, lemme know. I know someone looking for a car.

Right now I am going to hang on to it as long as the 'wifey' will let me...but I think it might be going to my lil' bro, if not I will definitely let you know if it's for sale
