Thanks for all the advice...moving on

Just wanted to say thanks to Barry, Konigster, and others over the past three years that I've owned my 03' E500. I departed with her yesterday, and am now in a 2007 Lexus GS350.

Best of luck to you all in the future.

Nick

I'm guessing: Change the oil, drive forever. But I moved from a 300 to the E so is a bit of irony.

Congrats on the GS. I personally don't know you or anything, but I hope you still participate even though you don't have a MB anymore.

Don't forget to tell us how you like the new ride!

Congrats on the new ride. I was looking at GS's back in summer of 07, but the used market wasn't that big since the new model had just come out and they wanted a lot of money for them.

I had the 03' E500, so you probably know there were some issues. I picked it up used in 2006 at 48k. I would have LOVED to keep the E, but was putting 17k a year on it, and was at 90k last week. 10k left on the extended warranty was my shot at getting a bit out of it.

I haven't tried Japanese yet, so figured I would give it a try. I'm sure I'll be back though I participate quite a bit in the detailing forum here.

Good luck!

GS is great car, love it. I test drove one on last Taste of Lexus event and was really pleased with performance, look, and comfort. I almost negotiated 08 LS460, but went with Benz since was scared economy situation.
