Time to say goodbye...

Hey Gang,
It has been a great ride. Proud owner since 2/2008 of this W204 and 108,000 miles later I believe it's time to trade her in.

Good news (for me maybe not for you )
Still a member of the W204 world.

2014 C250 Coupe, P1 and MM package. I pick it up in an hour

Calling it quits (for the 1st car) already? 108k has plenty of life left. Happy for you regardless, but could you share some insight to the reason why?

Agreed. Everything you need, pretty much, in those two packages, especially since split folding rear seats come standard on the '14s.

2019 GLA 250 - I am in purgatory right now...
Guys,
9K miles later and loving life. The turbo 4 cylinder is just amazingly smooth as silk. I love this call all is right in this world!!! For those wondering why I made the switch, my maintenance bills on the '08 were exceeding the cost for the switch. One ESL failure a year is almost enough combined with tire and oil change bills!!! Plus this one is red! I need a good detail now though!!

I've sprung for the Mbrace and Mbrace plus. How do you guys like to use this service?
