Since I can't afford a real one, I guess I'll settle for this model which has amazing detail...

He said it sounded amazing as they were loading it off the truck, driving it in to the showroom floor. The car is so sweet. Sorry no pics.
Just wanted to give a heads to everyone, and to the Chicago crew that posts on this board go check it out.(I think the salesmen said it will be there for 2 more weeks)
Cheers!!!!

They are incredibly arrogant and I hate how they talk about customers behind their backs. I was in for service, and one of the service managers was on the phone with a customer, was very rude to the customer, slammed the phone down and just went off on a rampage about the customer. I was there the next day and witnessed the same thing. Last time I was there, three of the service managers were bragging to each other about how much they marked up items and how stupid people were to pay for them.
I only bring in the car over their for the wash and the warranty work. All other work that is done at cost to me will be done elsewhere if I can't do it myself. I can see why Loeber Motors is so much busier than they are. I will never purchase another one from Autohaus.

CLK55 AMG 2006 Cabrio, BMW M3 2008 DTC Cab new (M3 e46 SMG 2003 Cabrio Sold), BMW X5 tt Diesel 2008
I ordered and have recieved a CLK AMG LSD with heavier driveshafts & universal loints from Germany for my new CLK55, while doing business with AMG Germany I asked them about availability for the DTM-CLK Cabrio and there response was "there is 100 DTM-CLK Cabrio's being made and we already have 152 orders, I will get marketing to contact you".
So a few people are going to miss out, also the car has only passed European spec. If I brought one into Australia I would be unable to register it for road use and I would assume you would have to spend a fair bit of extra cash to make it street legal in the US as well.
I don't think your wife would like getting in & out of those race seats at the supermarket to much either. If you can afford to have it setting in your garage to look at it then go for it.
I know the local BMW dealer pretty well and he asked me down to the dealership the other day as he was sevicing a Maclaren (2.5m Dollars) to have a look at it. It came in it's own truck with 4 large crates of service equipment. The sevice cost $45,000 Australian.
I don't think there would be to many MB dealers around that could service a DTM-CLK either and the insurance would be a little expensive as well.

WOW. what a car!
---there is a guy on U.K. EBay claiming he has one for sale but won't provide vin number or pics, or individual number of the car. I think he may be a spoof. When I emailed him for info to authenticate the car he became like a rat in a corner. My guess is he's full of it, too bad.

It's funny how I seen this car crusing around the shopping center near starbucks about a month ago..I thought I was dreaming and never thought anyone around my area would actually have this special car....when I see ferraris, lambos and bentleys it's like a normal hype but when I seen this, it was a whole different feeling lol..this car is amazing in person!
