Question Sold the W203, now what?
She's getting picked up today (not before I have some fun with her )
I'm real sad to see her go, but I made a few thousand.

I'm trying to decide what to import next... 04/05 C-class? 03 CLK? 01/02 S280/320?

Comments, ideas, problems and solutions are most welcome!
I'll post a thread of a collection of pics, final pics and a few videos I took this morning

I get sent lists of up to 30,000 cars a day from auctions in Japan. Usually theres around 10-25ish AMG's a day, mostly E55's and S55's though.

There was a C32 for a great price, but it was graded 3.5 and the lowest I'll import is 4.

if you talking about the new m3, yah, but wait till the C63 comes out, then I guess price would be similar
just like w203 c32/c55 and e46 m3 prices are similar

w203 amgs and e46 m3s are not priced similarly. M3s hold their value very well because it is a car that so many people want. M3 drivers are choads.
