rlee, let me know how that Cleansweep works out for you. I almost bought one but decided to replace it all!
I live around the campus in Champaign .. How about yourself?

I do not see many forum members from this area

Nice seeing you though!

nice!
i have been looking for an SUV too! i want to have one for the winter. i would have the 55 for the summer/spring and an SUV for fall/winter. hmm, 25k? tough call cuz you live in the US and the market is quite different than canada.

i have been driving my boss' 04 range rover teh past 3 weeks and i have fallen in love with it. it goes for 120k new here and probably 60-80k used.

how much do they go for there? maybe i'll get one from the states.

yeah bro, it's sweet! def. a man's car.

i would consider the ML 55 for the power but if you are getting an SUV you dont really need it. thats what the sport car is for. range all the way!

I would just sell the C230 and keep the money. Trade-in you will not get anything for the W203. Just keep the C32.

point of getting the SUV was to not drive the C32 in snow...

hmm.... if you really want to be driving in SNOW, a RR would be great!

but if you have a lower budget, try finding a W164 ML350. they are pretty good. or a girly RX330/350, (they are soooo comfortable!!!)

^ I'm debating whether or not to do my grille like this. Rlee, why don't you switch your black sidemarker lights from the 230 with the ones on the 32?

Whoa, sick pics - did you clean it out in the snow anyway? Haha - btw, don't forget about X5s - 4.4s can still do it. You know BMW makes the motors on those ranges right? Pop the engine covers and you'll see... but the newer ones?... FORD, baby!.......... ... ..

Very nice. I do like the 05 look better too. You car looks sweet. I would probably remove that white stuff around it.

thats why he should get an 03
x5's are nice but they're no range rovers =P

btw - i really like the look of the new grille. if only they sold this for the C55. i wouldnt want to paint my original at the risk of not liking it.

Please do. I've been considering doing this. I finally found a pair of Bix for a right hand drive at a good price and put em on, WITH special thanks to Rlee's thread .
How much do the clear blinkers cost roughly?
