With much sadness, I have decided to trade in my car.Ater getting $18,500 for my trade in, It was a good choice. The carcar had almost 80,000 miles and no warranty, I didn't want to have the expense of fixing things that may go wrong. Here's the new car. Not a Benz but very happy with it.


old


new

ya mine has become a PITA and it's at about 90k now and I worry the worse is yet to come

congrats on the new ride. the CC's r really nice imo love the look and presence of it. how do you like it so far? i have a couple of options in mind for me

I was lucky that things like the A/C compressor, both on board computers and some other things were covered under warranty, but with the expense of just getting a house, couldn't risk it. I will miss the car but "gotta do what we gotta do!"

I have been driving it since Saturday night and so far I love the car. Was concerned that jumping from a V8 to a 4 Cylinder Turbo I would hate it, but I am impressed with the pick up the car has. It's comfy and has a great ride and at 30MPG on the highway I LOVE IT. Never saw more that 21 on the Benz!

How's the headroom & how tall are you?

JonnyWalker

Headroom is great for me but then again I am only 5'8"

how you get 18,500? I went to trade my car in at Mercedes they wanted to give me like 8k lol

JonnyWalker

I originally went to BMW and they said 12k. Then to CarMax and they said $14k, VW told me $16k at first but fought it!

djrabbi

welll you should still get the CLS wheels from me haha

nopcbs

Uh, oh. It's a VW. Be afraid...be very afraid.

lol cls wheels on the vw cc then? interesting

Vik888

can't you buy 3rd party warranties from a reputable place for you E? cheaper than a new car?

JonnyWalker

CLS wheels on the CC???? I don't know about that one!!

JonnyWalker

I did some shopping around and found some warrant companies that would give me 2/24K for almost $5,000. To me personally, it wasn't worth the "investment"

Vik888

yeah, 2/24k for $5k .. I'd just bank the $2.5k/yr. You might get spikes in service costs if you lost an airmatic strut, but it should avg to less than $2.5k/yr.

gaazmon

lol i know. only playing

K-A

Wow! You robbed them! I would have imagined Dealer offering you half that for that car. Good work on the 'biniss side of it.

gaazmon

+1 i don't even want to know how much they would offer me for mine with the pano roof inoperable and everything

K-A

Ouch, so the Pano roof went our huh.
