C43, SLK32, CLK63 Black Series
OT: Bought a CLK63 BS tonight...

Bought a CLK63 Black Series tonight. I pick it up on Saturday. Keeping the SLK32 and giving up the RS4. My RS4 is for sale if you know of anyone looking for a very clean low mileage car.

RS4 is a great car and I'll definitely miss it but I just loved the Black Series. Probably stupid because who really needs a car that costs that much but I just couldn't resist.

CONGRATS on the CLK63 Black Series!!! Man, that is going to be fun!

I agree that the "BS" acronym needs some modifying...it sounds, well...uh..kind of crappy

I will throw a couple out for starts:

CLK63-B or just "63B": just dropping the S. It kind sounds like a stealth bomber name too!

"SR" - "Schwarze Reihe" is what bablefish comes up with for black series in German. It sounds kind of cool spoken in it's native tongue http://tts.imtranslator.net/9Jj

*click the "say it" button at the upper right corner if it does not speak

Any other ideas?

Black. Good point on the BS. I shouldn't have been so lazy and just typed out Black Series.

Thanks. Here is a link to my craigslist add: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/car/612236263.html. I think mine is pretty aggressively priced. It is essentially new, mostly been aging in my garage. I had it for 19 months and it only has 57xx miles on it. Really babied and smells new. I really should have driven the car more. I changed the oil 3 times in 5700 miles. The car also has no cost servicing because I paid for it when I bought it.

A dealer on craigslist is asking $60 for their but the car has almost 20K miles.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/car/612496571.html

'07s are going for upper 50s at the moment but you won't find a better one and virtually every one will have considerable more miles.

Agreed... I expected to see some pics.

Nice purchase, all the reviews on the car just rave about it. I totally love the classy use of CF.

Sorry guys. As I said, I'm not picking up the car until tomorrow and I didn't bring a camera with me when I went to negotiate the deal. However, I will be happy to post or email all of the pics you want starting Saturday. If you haven't seen one in person yet, do an autotrader search and find one close to you. Just starting it up makes it worth the time to go look at one. Best sounding start and exhaust I have ever heard.

They are working on installing the bluetooth and ipod adapter today.

OK, total bummer. Just got a call and the car won't be ready until Monday. The blue tooth control module did not come in and the car is partly taken apart to install the module. They were expecting it today but it never arrived. I was OK waiting until Saturday but having to wait until Monday is just plain torture.

Black Series is ready for pickup. Just getting detailed!! I'll have pictures up tomorrow. Not picking it up until after 7:00 so by the time I get home, it will be dark.

RS4 is still available. I've had some interest but no one willing to pull the trigger yet.
