car is gone tomorrow

Acura gave my 7K for the car so I'm done with it. Tomorrow, brand new TL, 3 Miles on the odometer, with Nav. Brand spankin new. It's been great sharing my experiences and chillin with all of you on this board. If its arite with all of you I'll hang out for a while because I loved having this car (most of the time).

Remember, AVIC N1 is still for sale.

thanks man. I'm really looking forward to a change after 4 years. The TL is just more practical for my life right now. Hopefully once I'm out of school I'll come back to CLK, but definitely not the W208 or W209, ill probably wait till the 209s succesor.

heres an interesting point tho. What will the W209's succesor be called? They can't use W210?

7K seems troubling. I was offered more than (by a private party) that for my 1991 300CE with 203K on the odo! I told him the car was not for sale.

private party book value is around 11k, so I did ok. I dont care about the money I just want to be done wit the car. The truth is at 117K miles you never know what can happen next and how much it can cost. I got a 32 month lease on the TL for $490 so this plus the sale of my nav covers 16 months.

I know I probably got screwed but I didn't feel like dealing with buyers and holding out for another 3K.

Sorry about that I was looking forward to meeting you but i walked into the dealer today and they just made me an offer i couldnt refuse. It was time for change, (and a quieter passenger cabin).

I am looking forward to breaking the service departments ***** for every little thing that goes wrong though. Wish I had the same opportunity with the benz.
