'05 E500
Hello from FirstMB
Hello all,

Just got my '05 E500 a couple of months ago. All I can say is "What a car!!!". The drive is smooth, comfortable, and FAST!!! I am definitely glad I paid a little more to get the v8...actually, it's quite a bit more, but still worth it. Just wanted say "hello", and let everyone know I am here.

Also, I got $2600 off from sticker. Can those who purchased their E500 from the dealer (Excluding those that got the 7% discount from picking up your car from Germany) tell me how much off you got from sticker?

You are shorter than I might have expected

I am on the east coast which seems to have smaller discounts. I saw $2k off sticker.

Congratulations and welcome....I am still trying to find one with the options I want.

I hope I do not have to order one with the mini-man included, could get expensive and the maintenance costs!
