Goodbye fellow c55ers
Guys I needed a bigger car and went with the Audi A8L, got two little ones and the C55 was a bit tight. Will definitely miss the car, but think I got out just in time as the NY/NJ area are trading in ~ $34K for 21K miles. This car's value has plummeted like a rock. I'm not whining as I had lots of fun over the past two years with her. She is definitely a hoot to drive, but never had the chance to enjoy her on a consistent basis, too much traffic around here.
Good luck to all of you.

Yes it does drop like a rock like all other Merc's. If you would have tried selling it you would have been holding on to her for a long time as everyone else doesn't want one. Good luck with the new ride.

I really liked the look of the A8 inside and out, the S550 is beautiful, but a bit too rich in $$$. 7 series and Lexus were not even a thought. I use to have a BMW 540i and it was a lot of performance, but lots of niggling problems lead to bigger problems.

A8 is a great car
What color A8 did you go for? The L has so much room and with AWD is the perfect family saloon. The only pain is how mean Audi are with standard goodies. The options list reads like a novel.
Lastly, make sure to go for the 19" multi-spoke wheels. They look great and suit the car perfectly.
BTW, did you ever consider the A6/S6? It actually has a bigger boot than the A8.
