Hey Sam

Why are you parting with the car?

This may sound stupid...

but I am getting a bulldog puppy, and I don't think the brown nappa leather and the Mercedes Designo interior is exactly where he needs to sit. I am going to be getting an SUV (Range Rover, G500 or H2 Hummer)

Sounds like a great reason to part with a very rare MBZ??? (Right)

It's OK with me, but do us all a favour and get the G500. The puppy will have all kinds of room to roam around in the back with the back seats up or down!! How much are you trying to get out of the car? I will call a few friends for you and see if there are any takers.

Tectite is an awsome color on the G!!!

The only thing I have against the G

is that my first cousin, (who also lives in Newport Beach) has one in Tectite, which I agree, is by far the best looking color for that car. I am asking 65K with the Brabus wheels 61K without em, and i am pretty firm about this. A new car is proced at 71K, and that excludes the 12 grand worth of Brabus stuff I put on the car. Thanks for the help, if you can tell some people. Plus, it's hard to say no to a bulldog puppy!! Trust me, see one and you'll know!!
BTW, everyone I've talked has said "keep the car", but how do you seat a bulldog on Nappa leather seats without worry??

Thanks
Sam C.

Have you maybe thought about seat covers?

P.S.
That is a pretty reasonable price, we just sold one last month for $75k ($5k premium) and the car was on the ground for 2 days before it was ******ed up!!! You should not have much trouble trying to get rid of it soon!

Thanks for the 411 Marcus

i know that's a good price...I'm honestly not trying to make a profit...I just wanna sell the car before my dog comes in three weeks
I am pretty impressed with the H2 looks...what do you guys think?? From a Brabus convertible to an American Hummer...hmmm

Hey Sam,

Those are expensive tires. I need replacing for tires again and its annoying the hell out of me considering they havent been there for a year. How long did your tires last you before they needed replacing?

I like the H2 Hummer too, haven't seen it in person though. That would be my first choice, then the G then the Range Rover. Won't you experience symptoms of speed withdrawal coming from a 430 to an SUV?

But with all the girls that you are going to pick up with the dog, maybe not...... hmmmm....maybe I should get a dog too...haha....

Good luck with finding a buyer. Bring your dog over at the coffee shop when you get her/him.

-- Frank

The only eccsory I would sell separate would be the wheels

But I need to find a seller for a car first.

Can you imagine if someone opened up their own shop in Newport beach? And sold Wheels/tires at the standard disounted price? They would make so much money from the fletcher jones clients and the laguna nigel clients. If i lived in Orange, and if i wanted to buy rims, tires, etc. I'd have to drive 30 miles to Sprewell or D2

Hey Sam,

I'm still around usually at the cafe since I'm not doing much. I'm also taking summer school. And my summer project is retrofitting a COMAND system so that's keeping me busy.

Yellow or Black H2.... Personally, for an everyday car I would go with regular colors like black. Though the yellow (and I hear that orange is good too) is a great color for the car and would certainly turn heads, there would be times that I'd want a subtle looking car. But if it was my second or weekend car, then I'd go for yellow. Like a yellow 360 modena, but then silver and red look good on it too..... (ok, i'm going off track)

Of course this is only my opinion and what matters most is your preferences and decision...

-- Frank
