Black C55 loaded..They will swap my Brabus wheels stuff off the C32 onto the C55 ...WTF should I do...

dragonAMG

That's easy - IF you're in the financial position to make the payments... DO IT! That's a great price for a fully loaded C55. I have the "hook-up" at my Mercedes dealer and that's exactly what I paid for it fully loaded. Sticker on mine was upwards of 62k. Mercedes dealers rarely discount them. Also, you should be "on cloud nine" about not losing money on your lease. That's an anomaly! Take it and run! You'll love your C55, I know I sure do!

theres is 58K

DO IT VADER!!! I need a running partner in the streets of O.C.

Vader,

I have the C55 and it is incredible to own. I drove the C32, and although it is more inexpensively tunable to an extent, there is only so much you can do with a v6.

I have some small idea of how you like to play, and a kleemann kompressor will have you at about 550 with a lsd, I think you will beat (sensitive people please turn away) even the new M5 in straightline acceleration. Plus with the new bilsteins and progressive springs available, you can dial out a lot of the understeer. You might not change the balance, but rather lessen the negative effects of all natural tendencies. That was as clear as mud, you can probably go from moderate to quite mild understeer. Neutrality would probably require moving some weight though, or getting a CF hood made.

I don't know what your budget is, but I think it is worth it to get a big V8 in that car and the clk front end makes it look analogously like the porsche factory slope nose cars looked compared to the standard models. The view out the front is better than even some f1 drivers get and the car is as docile when you want it to be as it is ***** wild when you want it to be. It is small enough to handle, but big enough to take your friends out. The nanopaint also resists scratching quite well and makes black a useable color on the car. I always used to have to be so damn meticulous with my black cars to keep them from looking like a network of silky spider webs.

This is getting to long, but shoot any questions you might have about the day-to-day ins and outs.

The things that are tuff for me is all the new mods I would have to do, the whole sterio again, I have a 1300 watt JL system, plus everything else..
I dunno it seems pretty tuff to go through the hassle for a small upgrade.
My lease is under 700 a month...that pretty good and I am only a couple K undrwater..If I needed money I could get 45K with all the mods on, but I have a C230K that the mods could go on also. The car is on the lot..sitting...there waiting for someone..
I am actually thinking GT3 or Turbo911 now..if I go ..I might as well go big..
BUT...I drive to LA from OC 3 times a week and a clutch would SUCK...
FUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK..
Or sell the C32 and get E55..argg...
I hate this ****..
at the end of the day the C32 is pretty perfect...lol

dragonAMG

Theirs is 58k with nav, lighting, stereo?

Vader13

LOADED...its around 19 hundred over that on the sticker..

Santa Barbara Auto Group, where Bimmerfest was a couple weeks ago...

psk145

if you trade it, you better sell me some of your parts!!!

dinko

Cls55 ?

Vader13

CLS55 would be ****ing awsome..

C55mOtiOn

Go for GT3, that's my next car man... but keeping C55 for awhile.... if you want C55, check out South bay Mercedes, I got my car fully loaded for $56,950 with 8 miles...where as Fletchers Jones quoted me $62,500 and House of Imports $61,800......Good luck!!

ben55

If you got a C55 for 56950 they gave you that car. The Invoice on a semi-loaded car after PDI costs and all is almost 57k.

dragonAMG

You're absolutely right, and you know for a fact they are not receiving any type of dealer incentives on the 05's at this time of time.

Rareamg

Get the CLS that's PIMP!!!!

CLK500man

That is all I'm saying....
truth is AMG c-class to facelifted AMG c-class.

That is coming from a 2002 X5 driver that is not "upgrading" to a facelifed X5 4.8is. There is a X5 4.8is EXACTLY as I would order it for myself at my local dealer. I have always wanted a X5 4.8is since it was unveiled. Now when I see it in the flesh and drive it... TOO similar to what I have already acquired, my 2002 X5 4.4i. So I ordered something different (see signature), the drive was excellent, pure 3-series DNA.

BUT, everybody has their own personal prefences.

My mother had a 2000 S430, loved it even with its own share of problems. She refused to get anything else when it was time to get a new car. Now, she feels her 2004 S430 is everything her first S-class should have been. They indeed made many changes.

55fanatic

Sean, didnt even know this was going on... I would say they are too similar for the trade... unless you forsee yours having problems in the future, it wouldnt be worth it. Stereo shouldnt be a worry(ill come out and do it up for ya, lol)... If your gonna do a trade either do a CLS55 or an E55... The E would be my choice...Although the Porsche is a close second

SiLvaC32

hey Sean, i wouldn't do it if i were you. i'd get a E55 or just stick with your C32. to do everythin over again is gonna cost alotta $ too. just my .02.

btw, who did you deal with??

Vader13

Ben at SB Auto..
He has a buyer for the C32 and I have them looking for a GT3.

If they can't get me what I really want...F87K it..

Make them work, and I want one for under 100K

I do not like the E55..

I have almost bought one 2 times..

I get a call from Fletcher..I go down all excited, I drive it and go.
This thing is a f87king fast uber boat..

I should just wait and get on of the first W207 AMG's

The C32 is a nice enuff ride to wait in too..lol

55fanatic

Vader13

Brabus door sills, pedals, door pins, XM, system, suspension, removed resinator, wheels..just the basics...

Vader13

Vader13

Rareamg
