Hey all.

I purchased my car in September 2014 as a CPO from Mercedes Wilsonville with 9,000 miles on it. Got free oil changes for life too

I will do each update in new posts, so hold on. Much has happened in the five months I have owned it.

Here is when I bought the car. It was the same day I sold my 2007 lifted blacked out Ford Ranger.

Before and after of the new side markers. Oregon law requires amber lighting for side markers, so I went with the clear lens and LED lights





Before and After of installing the projectors

In late december, my vehicle was backed into.

In short, I was at a friends house downtown, which has a shared driveway. I actually parked there so someone on the street would not hit me.

I parked my car, walked into the house, and heard a truck revving. We look out the window and watched the guy (neighbors ex-husband) back up the hill of the driveway into my car. His trailer hitch punctured my bumper, and it took 2 hours to separate our two vehicles.



Total damage was $6,200 (plus $2,300 diminished value, plus $1,000 for rental car). Rear bumper and trunk lid were replaced and the back of the car repainted.

welcome man. clean car, nice mods...if you're gonna get the blacked out single fin grille I would plasti dip the front part of the bumper below the lower grill.

Thanks. I wish they had your color car with my options in stock, that would've been my first choice.

Interesting. Any pics of that? Not sure I've seen that done before

Vdhroso

Couple of updates.

Had my windshield replaced 4/10/15 because of rock damage on the freeway. Whatever it was, it was at least an inch in diameter. Got it pretty good. Turns out the insurance lied about having a separate deductible for glass repair, ended up being $250 for the deductible. I will be looking for different insurance.

Also had an x-pipe installed on 4/11/15. Love the sound of it. It's a deeper tone, louder around 3K RPM's but it's not ridiculous. Can't even notice it at highway speeds.

4/11/15 had one of my ballasts go out, so I had to buy new ones from a shop in the metro area.

It was an expensive weekend lol
