It isn't even like that in LA where you'd EXPECT that.

2012 C63 AMG Black Series
I worked for them in highschool... Since then (the past 4 years) Ive had chemical engineering co-ops which paid quite nicely although the work was very demanding at times. Despite doing consulting right now I still help my Dad and brother out on the weekends when Im home. I pretty much have no lfe besides working/cars... I do party but once a week. Dont tell me what counts and what doesnt... Only I know how hard I work, which is why I can be upfront with everything even my car. I know people will always judge but I have no problem sharing my story.

Vancouver job market is terrible. You need money to make money in Van. Most of the money you see there is from overseas (HK and China). Big money guys send their kids out there, and they have to be better than others. Exotic cars are cheap relatively speaking. A SLS in Canada costs about the same as a S500 in Hong Kong, so giving your kids a SLS is a no brainer.

There was a SLS with an 'N' sticker (new driver for those not in BC) at the dealer here in Victoria - had some major transmission problems apparently, young Asian guy owns it, guess he broke something badly.

Actually if you think about it,it makes sense.
All these cars are average of 80-100k for a C AMG OR M3, with that money it's $640,000 HKD, Where a used C63 2010 non P31 will cost $900,000HKD
the price is really justifiable where in China it will cost even more.
A Rolls Royce is 500K in Canada but in China it will run up to almost 2M there.
Also Agent orange, I don't think that mattered could have been a problem with it from factory and warrantied "guess he broke something badly" don't judge people if you don't know anything about it.

Jeffield, I guess that came out wrong as I didn't intend that to be the message at all. A service tech did in fact tell me he broke something, that's all I was going on, I'm the last person to judge, especially when it comes to cars.
