About to seal the deal, need some encouragement

I reached a final price point of $76.6K for a CLS55 with 9200 miles, AZ car silver/ash with most options except disc and 030. I think it's a great deal, just getting a little apprehensive making a major purchase...

Once you buy it and you stomp it, all your worries will go away, and yes that is a good deal in my Opinion...

I can understand where your coming from. But after my first week, I ofter wondered..."where has this car been all my life..."

You'll never look back... it will never sit in your garage... and I heard rumors that it will make you thinner and look better too.

dude

thats a hell of a price, I called mercedes the other day just for ****s and gigles to see what my pay-off was. 89,000 this is after 15,000 down, and 7 months at 1560.00.

There is nothing to think about you will be glad you spent the money you did to get this car....I know I am and paid much more than you.

Make sure you test drive it.

And since you have an A6 you should also test drive the new S6.

Do them on the same day and you will know for sure if the CLS is the car for you.

Thanks all for your encouragement. I agreed to buy the car but could not reach an agreeable price for my trade in (the Audi- of course the dealer wanted to give me dirt and a cup of coffee for it) I am still trying to sell the car myself. The dealer sold the CLS to a wholesaler today.

I believed that I couldn't get this car without purging 1 of my old ones. I already bought a Corvette in April, an SUV in September. It's a space issue. That was my thinking, but now I am really bummed that the car is gone. If I find another one like it, I'll buy it even if I had to donate my 2001 Audi. One knows how much he misses something when it's gone... I am kicking myself.
