My C230 is gone! Just turned her into the dealership today. I'll miss that car!

Time to start looking for an ///AMG!

Nice job. That's cutting it about as close as you can. I would have been tempted to drive around in circles in the closest parking lot until the odo got to 48774, THEN coasted into the dealer's lot. Think they'll still try to tag you with some other charges?

With the direction oil is heading, I'd be looking for a CDI/Bluetec instead of an AMG. But if you've got the extra cash, then why not?

lol I actually thought my limit was 46775 miles so when I found out I had another 1000 miles I threw a party and drove it everywhere, even to the end of Long Island on the Montauk, NY cruise with a few other people.

There is supposed to be some kind of lease turn-in fee but the dealership didn't say anything about it and I didn't ask. It'll probably show up in another bill from MB Financial.

+1 on the 1 or 3 series.

in regards to the end of lease fee. mb usually waives it if you get another benz within 6 (?) months or something along those lines.

funny you should say that, I had a deposit down on a 135i but i changed my mind and canceled it, it would have cost $44k for that tiny car! maybe i'll pick one up in a couple years if I don't get an AMG

Obviously, he optioned out the 1 pretty well for that. Getting a 3 with the same options would cost even more.

I'd take the 135 over any 3 series (even the M, especially if $$ is factored in) any day. Just a more back to basics sports car than the 3.

Eibach Prokit- springs, shocks, struts, front and rear sway bars, also new adjustable rear control arms, tie rods, and bushings. It's freakin unbelievable how much better it is now. Totally flat and drama free going around the tightest of corners and curves.

pics soon!
