Question Temptation
Hey guys. I am tempted by purchasing a CLS55 with the 030 package and everything else on it in Black with Cashmere. Options would include Distronic, Premium, Lighting, Parktronic, Keyless GO, and Illuminated Sills. What do you think. I could get it in Dec 2005 or maybe even Janueary 2006. Still gonna keep the E55 though. I just love the way this damn car looks and its more stunning in person than in pictures.

Any opinions from you guys?

I second that...I am envious of all who can afford this car. Maybe in a couple years when the resale has dropped a bit. I am thinking of what I can do, short of robbing a bank, to afford this car.

I ordered the same options with the exception of the Distronic. Also, I am keeping the E55. Good choice on both fronts.

I wil lhave to make my decision in one week if I want that late November or early December build date. I will most likely go for it simply because I want a car that both my wife and I love. She isnt the worlds largest fan of the E for some reason.
