This was my car
I just sold this car to Oakland Mercedes although I really should keep my mouth shut about the price since these guys are the best dealer in the world and I wouldn't want to do anything to hamper their sales efforts.
I bought this car sight unseen. The exterior, designo graphite, is fantastic and I have had it on two other Mercedes (E55 wagon and CL65). The interior is striking but a bit polarizing. Men like it, women less so. The white seats made me nervous- don't want to wear jeans on them, don't want to spill coffee on them- too much stress for me. I found them very confortable however.
Also, I was very impressed by the AMG wheel package, I found the ride and handling very satisfying.
I got this car as a surprise for my wife who I thought might enjoy it but the interior color combo left her very cold, so back it went. I took very good care of it for the month I owned it, broke it in properly and never abused it. The car was solid, although the brakes periodically chirp (I never had the service department look at it) and this is a common problem with those SBC brakes.
