I paid 12k for the Benz. Thought is was great deal the only thing I wished it had was the heated seats. I wanted one as a commuter car for awhile and finally was able to find one. I Love the CT. Great on gas. Great looking car. I have the F Sport Edition that they only made 900 of. They make F sport editions but this is the one with the blue type seats and came with the Tumi luggage.

I have been away for awhile but an update. I got new wheels and a new grill (thanks infected), I will post pics tomorrow. I have BC Coilovers and new rotors and pads to get done. Now that I am back home for awhile hopefully I can get that done in the next couple of weeks. I was having some issues with the car hesitating. I brought it to the dealership because my 3 month warranty was ending. Well after $8500.00 of work and me paying only $700.00 I have a new motor mounts, radiator, transmission and torque convertor.

After have my check engine light come on after my wife was driving back from AZ we took it back to the dealer. The code was gone they said I need new spark plugs which I had already replaced. I went to check them today and the dealer put new MB plugs in. They did not charge me for them but I spent $40 for new plugs a month ago. I am going to call but they did give me a free rental for a few days. Oh well.

Biggest regret I have on this car is getting springs instead of coilovers

Here is how she sits now with new rotors and pads and BC coil overs. Bad cell phone photo.



Just added to the fleet. Got rid of our small wagon - Lexus CT200h which we loved.




And we picked up 2008 E63 wagon. It has 32k miles on it. We should get it in 2 weeks or so.

I don't really expect much. But for $299 I could not pass it up. I would like to do pulleys, exhaust and headers and be done.

I say get some front and rear sways, it'll make your car more enjoyable zipping around.
