2012 daily drivers

For those who drive their class 63's daily, how long do you plan to keep the car?

I had my last CLS 63 for about 3 years/30,000 miles. This is not a 219....its a completely different car for the much much better.

I'm in love too...

I guess until.........it gets stale..........hard to say....
but yeah, I'm still on my new car honeymoon, so the euphoric feeling
may dwindle some, but the beast will help it sustain........a while

I'm about 9 months into a 3 year lease. Will I turn it back in at the end of the lease, or buy it out? Good question. If there is something at that time that I like better, I would look to change. There is nothing out there right now that even comes close (IMO) to the CLS' balance of performance and practicality.

I'm hoping to keep mine for quite a long time, but that's what I said about my '10 C63. And my '11 Shelby. And etc.

I dont daily drive it but I was planning on keeping it 18 to 24 months but after modding and enjoying the M157 engine Im feeling it could surpass that threshold.
