11 E550A Cabrio; 13 VW GTI Autob 14 FJ Cruiser, 14 Ural GearUp
I had a MY05 CLK500A and was pleased with the general lack of problems. I moved to a MY11 E550A and believe I was the first in South Florida to receive one (apart from the Launch Model). I special ordered it (as I did for the CLK500A) and paid sticker (only got a repeat customer discount of $1,000 plus another $1,000 from USAA) for being an early purchaser. Paid cash for both.
I took delivery in July 2010 and only have 6,200 miles on it so far. Only scheduled maintenance so far.
The Sport Mode is pretty impressive and overall I'm pleased with the car.
I also considered the Audi and the BMW 3 series cabrio; never have liked the BMW 6 series soft top although BMW technology is impressive as well as the service plan.
My only temptation may be the new V-8 Bentley Continental GTC but the local dealer told me that model wouldn't be available until October this year. They can't even take orders yet.
