Awe, come on Jack, tell us the real story... Inquiring minds have got to know.
Good luck with the sale... Seems like someone is going to get a deal on the S430.

That's the real story HOH. Took a test drive and had to have all those goodies and power. When your my age you have to strike when the iron is hot (very rare) so I decided to go for it....

As for the price I am not trying to scalp someone...just want a fair deal so both of us are happy. Sure you don't want to update that E500...LOL

Now you'll have to try the new 2007 S 550 with all the nifty new automatic braking and parking systems. It's getting rave reviews from most people.

Hi LIONHEAD...good to hear from you. Yeah...kind of snuck up on me and all of a sudden I was engulfed in the 221. I had a problem with the fender flares but have adapted to them and am looking forward to the goodies and ride. Reviews have been excellent.

This will be the last one for sure (no laughing now)...I have reached the top of the hill with this one and will coast down the other side in pleasure and comfort.

That stable is one of the best on the web....

Jack, are those the rims you are getting too? Those by far are my favorite.

2011 E350 Cabriolet..White and Almond Mocha
Sale Cancelled

Based on the document below I have decided to drive my S430 for a while until MB's learns how to deliver a car with options on schedule. They should have waited for the real 2007 model year to introduce this car and they may have had the stock to support it. They would have also protected the buyers of the 2006 W220's...trade-in offers have been sickening.

Thanks for all the good wishes...

Good move Jack. Let someone else experience the leading edge wind burn of buying the first model year.

Besides, your W220 has plenty of room for those Vegas showgirls

Nevada Jack,

Waiting might be a good move....let the first year bugs and teething be worked out and all the hype to die down. I'm throwing out the idea of getting rid of my E500.

Did someone say Showgirls at Nevada Jacks place? Are we all invited. J/K.

That's right LIONHEAD...just go to the VIP counter at the MGM Grand (just off the Rotunda) and say NevadaJack sent me...the password is: MB Screwed this one up! Make sure you say "screwed" clearly so they can get the hidden message for the party upstairs...:-)))))
