Welp, I've decided to sell my E500
That is unless I take a huge bath on it. Anyway, I didn't think I could part with it, but I can't talk myself into keeping it if I get the Noble (see red car below). Maybe its a mistake, but I have to give something up to validate it. Most likely I will get an older 210 as a daily driver. If I happen to win the lotto or get on the Board of Directors of a local co - things might change.
Its a sweet car - special ordered with almost every option. I know I should part out my mods, but I'd rather keep it simple. 67K sticker price, 3K wheels, euro navi, wood wheel, euro strips, suspension. 23K miles.
I know I will probably regret it
If you guys know anyone or if anyone here is interested, PM/email me. Asking 53K.
I had it sold for I think 56K a few months back, should have taken it but I backed out
edit: I forgot- my lease is pretty good on it - $800 even incl. tax for CA. orig was 39 mos, 49Kish miles, if one was interested in assuming it.
After Steve evend out the suspension:

I was just reading up alittle on the Noble M12 and daum...that's a fast car. 0-60MPH in 3.3sec....WOW! It's too bad you have to sacrifice the E500 but I think once you get the Noble it will ease the pain of letting go of the E500. It'll be replaced by a big grin after mashing the pedal and carving the twisties on the M12. Good Luck!

Thanks! hopefully someone will talk some sense into me and make me keep it. 3.3 is optomistic, 3.5 is more like it for most drivers, but still! You are right, it has insane performance for the money. There are only about 100 in the states right now. Growing everyday in popularity (and wait time)

Actually, I'd rather do that as usually you don't get much for the mods. Would help out with my neg. equity. What is it you'd want? If I dont sell the car right away, they're yours

Well, im gonna try to put together another W211/MB BBQ at my house again. Hopefully sometime this month - last minute, but its just gonna be kick back, enjoy food, etc. One last fare-well..
I dont know what I could sell the euro navi for - 2K? I'd have to go buy an american one and pay to get it swapped out, might not be worth it unless you want to have someone do it at the same time.

Hey Brav,
Haven't spoken to ya in while! I was the one that was thinking of buying the car from you.
While it's a bummer that you'll be selling it for the Noble, think also about what you'll be replacing it with... that should ease the pain.
I might buy the euro strips and whatever else might be for sale if you are having the BBQ!
Talk to ya soon!
