Don't get rid of the E!!!

The plan goes something like this....

Keep the wife (18+ years invested)
Sell the E55 so wife can get her IS350.
Then trade the SL500 in for an SL55 or 911 C4S Cab.

LOL, Benz-tech. Good luck with the ML350.

Actually, had a slight change of plans....Traded the SL500 in for a 2002 911 Turbo yesterday. New 911's are like a 5-6 month wait right now.

Aside from the performance, some might want reliability and comfort. Therefore the Lex would be a no brainer.

And the topper is the fact that the Lexus dealer is opening a new facility in a couple of months and offering beauty salon services while your car is being worked on. And other perks.
