The break in time seems to be very important to me. Here is the punche line.. I own a used car dealership and I know it's a stupid move but hey WTHELL it's only $. .. So back down to earth, I will lose 13k ,I will have the same car with like 12 miles on it... What would you do? Let hear you!!!

This is really easy, keep the exsiting one, and spend $13K on the car.
Wheels, lowering module, tint, hardwire V1 radar, Euro Comand plays DVD's, clear markers. And with the left over money give everyone that does work for you a nice tip.

My purchase is somewhat like yours. I just purchased a 06 CLS55 with 1,500mi. But with a 15K discount from MSRP and the 030 option with everything but distronic it's still is a good deal that I can't pass up (even threw in low jack with early warning). I must factor in I don't have the best credit score, but I DID SCORE WITH THIS 06 CLS. It makes my wait for the bi turbo CLS more exciting!

Nuts? yes In 5 months the 08s are here, and all the new goodies that go with that. Just think of all the rumblings here in this form, about a twin turbo 63s Why change for the same thing?

am guessing your worried about break in, as you are not sure how it was broken in... but ill tell you this, there are some cars that come out of the factory brand new and break down lots, even when broken in properly, some times people say if you dont break it in properly you will suffer later on, others say drive it like you stole it....
so
If it ant broke why change?
enjoy the
