4 wheeled car.
If you can afford an SL, what's holding you up? Sell that old car and get something newer and better! It's like comparing a 320 vs 55

I suggest you get the SL, I mean, you said it yourself that you wanted to get a 2door car now; maybe this is the time to do.

You won't have another oppurtuinity(sp) to sell it at such a high price again.

So, what is the verdict?

Yo alex..what up!

I say go ahead with the sale my man! There comes a time when some dude would wanna pay wads of cash on your ride, i'd take it and work on another project!

SL is a sweet ride, but it would be even sweeter as project!

check out the A.R.T SL man..now that is sweet!

good luck with your decision!

SL or not, sell it. The best part of it is you even get to go ahead with your plans for the mods.....all expenses paid (and you may also get the rich bxtch as well )...what more would anyone want? Worry abt the next project later. What's the offer anyways? The only downside is really whether you can bear to see your baby being beaten to death by "Paris Hilton" and her buds......

alright, let's put it this way, i could be able to buy a 2001 e55 and do wheel/tires and some other stuff easily. so the price he's offering is really good for me not to take. now since i told him the plans for the project he wants me to start it first before ownership changes hands. i took out his daughter for a ride today so she would see how it drove, other then that he's waiting for his e55 to arrive first so nothing is going to happen anytime soon.

this is werid because this is the 2nd offer i've recived in the last 7-8 months or so on the car but this was by far the best....

i always thought i'd keep this car because i told myself that i wanted to start a collection and keep anything i get from the w210 and on so thats why it makes it harder for me....

Alex good luck on the sale. Opportunites like that only come around ever so often. At a dealer as a trade in or a PP sale you will never be able to get what you think she's worth.

You still got those AMG side skirts...right? Those should get you admission :p But hey, take care of biz first! March 5th is HINs, I've got to attend a wedding that afternoon, but most def will be at the scene to check out the goods.

I really don't do much nite driving on the E, but since the bezel fell off on the left projector, I might just go ahead and swap the lens and see what all the fuss is about! I've talked to Zam already, he's got a hookup. Thanks, I check Ebay as well.
