Couple small things....
1. My Dad, a great car guy and honest dealer, always said "pea****s have to strut" when it comes to the latest/greatest/newest. He taught me this 30 years ago and it's still pretty much true. If you want to be the "firstest" with the "mostest", that is, one of the first to strut a new C55, it's going to cost you. Now, and at resale.
2. Don't get too fired up about the M3 resale. Those cars have taken a licking in the last 30-45 days. Dealers who were all over them at the auctions are now lining them up in the auction lanes to get some of thier money back. The values were inflated for a good long while, and dealers have plenty to sell. And the new M5 is on the horizon.
3. Don't take offense here, because I like any quality hot rod done well, but one of the main problems you've got with values on the C32 is that it's a bunch of money for what doesn't look like a lot of car (to a non car person). The average Joe at the mall or some female will always think that a 138000 mile red 91 300SL is $100k and your "little" car is just an econobox. Of course, you know better, but it is the way of the world.
Either gotta pay up or hush up and drive. Use your head.
And yes, if you haven't noticed, I'm doing my best to keep from giving MB any new car $$$. Join the crusade!

This is getting ridiculous...
I'm just going to assume that your program takes out any words with c---s in them. A peackock is a beautiful glorious bird, not something profane. I'm SO sorry if that would offend any 8 year olds looking to opine about their Benz cars here....
