E 500 4matic, MINI John Cooper Works
I was driving BMW's before MB - Mercedes were considered "old" guys cars at the time but I was so pissed at BMW because they accused me of buying "bad" gas and fouling my injectors by buying this bad gas and refused to take care of a warranty issue - I swore I would never buy another BMW product and haven't - screw em - now I don't think MB E cars are old man cars - quite the contrary - I've been very satisified and have had 7 MB in the past 25 years -

2005 E320 CDI, 1999 ML430
I sometimes wonder if I’m the only person to go from a Mitsubishi Evo 8 to an E320 CDI. I purchased both cars new. The Evo was fun, but the CDI is a keeper.

The car I had before my first Mercedes was a 1995 Eddie Bauer Explorer that I got when I graduated from college. My first Mercedes was an 1997 S420 and the Mercedes I had before the 211 was a 2005 C230. This will probably be my last Mercedes for a little bit I am ready for something new and the current Mercedes models have lost me.
So if you know anyone interested in a 2005 E320 wagon with only 28,000 miles let me know! I'm sure when I look back this will be one of the ones I miss.

I just got my E350 this past weekend. Before it was a '04 Chrysler Concorde. Loved that car and would still be driving it if it had been totalled. Oh well, on to my new love!

mercedes benz E320 CDi Sport
Before this, I had an E39 530i, and i must say i loved it. Great car, mpg wasn't too bad but a rock solid car, ran to a really high mileage, then got rid of it nearly two years ago now simply because i got such a good price for it through a friend of a friend. I gotta say though, this car is miles better, cant think how i can replace this when i have to, although the new CL's look great

'12 ML350
Too many to list...so here's what I had just prior to the E63: '04 Audi A8L.
First MB was an '04 SL500 bought around the same time as when I'd leased the Audi, gone when our baby girl arrived almost 3 years ago...small sacrifice

If you had a 1983 Corvette you would have had to stolen the one at the Corvette Museum. There is only one VIN 1983 Corvette in existence!

It was a leaky evaporator, which was supposedly common on all W140s. The dash needed to be completely removed for it to be repaired, which sometimes caused rattles in the dash. Very expensive fix if not under warranty. I have always liked the W140 and have considered them in the past.
