New E @ dealer. HERE IS THE PROOF??

this is a follow up to Frissen's earlier post. It shows the pic he supposedly took at a merc dealer, only with a change in contrast that i did.....can anyone read the words that have been paint-brushed? the last line looks to me like '+TVA', which is VAT in french..........of course frissen could give us a good explanation, something better than 'i am called a liar because i drive and own better cars'...

ok

here is the explanation.

I took the pics at the dealers satellite showroom that is located inside a office building and has a public garage next to it.

It does not say +VAT but +IVA.

Anyway, I am not a liar, I did take that picture and drove the E500 later that week.

IVA is Spanish for VAT, just explaining for the people who don't know. Frissen, you keep stubbornly referring to the car as to E 500 all the way through your posts. It is E 320?!

The car on this thread is an E320. I did not drive this one.

I then posted another thread with the E500 that I drove.


Going back to this thread, the E320 that I posted is in Puebla, Mexico. They were taking out the car for me to drive and I was sitting in an SL500 when I took the pic, it seemed an interesting angle.

I did post a bunch a pics of both the 320 and 500 unfortunately my home computer is down and all the pics are in that computer.

For now all E's are sold and cannot take anymore pics, they don't have a precise date on when they may have more as I believe that now they are focusing on US demand for the car. The same happened with the C-coupe.

But will have anything new that happens around here posted.
