got rid of my 500 for a CLS55!
i finally got someone to take over my lease on my cls500 and simultaneously found the perfect cls55 for sale by a dealer in florida!
details: alabaster white, cashmere nappa, high gloss wood, keyless, premium, lighting, parktronic, phone, and sirius.
i've been shopping around for a white 55 for a couple of weeks and most had a lot more options than i cared for. i really wanted charcoal interior too and didn't care for the phone or sirius. well, this dealer was very aggressive and i got $2700 off sticker for this car since they knew i wasn't all that interested in it!!! had to go for it.
overnighted them the paperwork today and hopefully it'll ship out to me monday and perhaps reach me the day after thanksgiving. i'm so excited! after my e46 m3, the 500 just wasn't doing it for me. i think this will give me the best of both worlds. will post pics as soon as it arrives.

Congrats on the new ride!
I remember when you got the first CLS earlier this year - I wondered why you were getting rid of it so soon....I guess nothing beats quick acceleration.

these are some f the carrier4s that came up last time I looked to ship an NSX from Cali to Florida. Open car was about 1100 and closed was almost 2000.
I would definately do it in a closed transport this way if there any kinds of nicks you can go back to the dealer.
Good luck and enjoy the 55

Congrats
I would listen to CLOS also. This time of year there may be some stray thunderstorms also and hail damage may occur.

there are a lot of factors involved, but if you think your terms and payment are good, then simply post it up on www.swapalease.com. that's what I did. found a person in 1 week. guy flew here from cali and drove it back.
