Wednesday?

My dealer told me that Wednesday is the day. For What? I have no clue. But supposedly, he will have pricing and dates of shipment. Has anyone heard of Wednesday the 31st as a landmark day for anything???

Also, I ordered the 500 and the 320...but...SOMEONE PLEASE CONVINCE ME THAT THE 320 IS NOT THAT BAD!

My heart is set on the 500, which is in my financial capabilities, but I am also looking to save money to get engaged and to buy a new house (just turned 25, not getting younger!)...

HELP! WHAT SHOULD I DO!!!

I have always thought that if the car is stretching you you won't enjoy it as much. I have wanted a CL55 for some time and I "could afford" it but it would make things alot tighter. If the 320 is more in your budget with the obligations you are facing, consider buying a sports package or add a Lorinser/Brabus type kit once your expenses slow down. In my opinion the 320 is still an amazing vehicle (needless to say at your age). Now if you can buy the 500 and not stretch yourself too thin, you do get that much more car and better resale b/c of supply and demand. Just my 2 cents... Hope it helps.
