Goodbye C350!!

Lease ended the other day and had to say bye to my beloved C350!
It was a good three years, but it's time to move on!

I'll still be lurking these boards cause we have a bunch of other mercedes!
Have a c63 2012 on order for our house in arizona!

As for my next car in montreal, I have been leaning towards a Nissan GT-R but since the release of the C63 COUPE, i may just get that if the price is right!

I've driven my neighbor's GT-R a couple times and besides the unholy amount of torque I wouldn't suggest buying one. Maintenance is a nightmare on it, and they will void your warranty faster than you can push the buttons for launch mode. I keep bugging my neighbor about letting me take it to a track event, but apparently you need to take it in for about $3k of maintenance before you step on a track or the GPS will "report" you to the dealership if you don't, and once again, they will void your warranty. If you're looking to spend around $80k on a sports car, look at Porsche or Jaguar.

ever consider a spunky little cayman-R ? it might not have the supercar crushing credentials of the gt-r but it would definitely be a fun little tossable mid engined romp for track days. carbon ceramics are a factory option too if youre looking forward to overtaking and overbreaking

I would not be tracking it!
and we're finally allowed to use the launch mode on the 2012 models!
as for maintenance, it's not so bad... just the brake jobs. But it's a risk i'd be wiling to take!

It's a nice car, but they are most likely going to change that model soon, and i'd probably go with a 2009 C4S or turbo if i was entering the porsche domain haha!
