Woohoo!!! Got my E-Class
After many months of researching exactly what I wanted and trying to find the best pricing and after finally selling my CLK I was able to get my E320.
It's a new 05 with an early build date since it still has the older style console and the REST button with Appearance and Premium Packages.
Needless to say I am a very happy man right now (which is not exactly how I'd describe the wifey since I didn't mention any plans to get a new car this weekend, oops :embarrassed: )!
Now for the questions that I have thus far:
1. Will the 3-5-7 "trick" work to get video DVD's to play?
2. How can I go about lowering it via airmatic at the dealer?
3. Any cool and nifty "secrets" I should know about?
Sorry for the same old type of thread but I'm just too excited!
Here are some bad pics of my new baby...

Thanks for the very warm welcome guys. Update on the wife: had to pull out the secret weapon but I got her to come around last night, if you know what I mean 
. I actually left the car home today so that she could take it around and hopefully fall in love with it just as much as I did.
I'm definitely loving all the cool options it has. Should keep me busy for at least a few more days. I probably won't be driving it in to work just yet. I don't want all my co-workers to start talking.

Me: I'm not sure about the Parktronic, I don't think I need it. If I can park a big 4 wheel drive, I can surely park a sedan!?
Friend: True, but you are not considering a critical factor....
Me: And what would that be?
Friend: ...will your wife be driving the car?
Me: ....Parktronic is in....

Congratulations--I'm sure you're going to love it!! Also, congrats on getting the old-style console. I was in getting my car serviced and checked out the new cars. I definitely prefer the old-style console over the new version.
Enjoy!
Enjoy!

I almost squeezed a tear out of my left eye last night when my baby hit 1,000 miles. It seems like just 3 weeks ago I was driving it home from the dealership, wait it was just 3 weeks ago. Oh forget it, I'm just happy I can finally let it rip! Well at least as much as this V6 will let me.
I was so excited and I wanted to take a picture and would you believe that as soon as I pulled into the driveway it hit 1001. My wife actually suggested that after I hit 1000 I get out and push it home so I could get my camera. Then I found out today that my camera was in the console the whole time.
