My wife at 72, special-ordered this car in August of 2020. She took possession of it in December 2020 (Merry Christmas) from Mercedes Benz Clear Lake. This is her third AMG. It was driven straight to a specialty shop in Houston to be ceramic coated (FeynLab) and PPF installed from the firewall forward. Since she has all the full service/maintenance/road hazard plans, it goes into the shop to ensure everything is up to date. It's hers. Not mine. I get to wash it once a week. If it's not in use, it's in our garage. Always. Not even in the driveway. Point? No water spots anywhere. My DD is my '18 Macan Turbo and I like it.
Modifications: I replaced the stock O.E. pads with EBC Red Stuff Ceramic Brake Pads. Less dust. Stops good cold. NO noise. I had it professionally wrapped (blacked out) chrome window trim and very bottom of front lip while being ceramic coated. *She forgot to order the Night Package. I wasn't with her when she went to the dealership to order it. During the ceramic coating process, all chrome badging was removed and afterwards replaced with new Gloss Black badging. I replaced the stock (boring) chrome tailpipes with O.E. black tail pipes. Nothing has been touched under the hood.
There are NO dings, scrapes or water spots anywhere on the car. New Michelin PS4-S tires mounted all around less than one month ago. They are the next size wider than stock sizes on the 19/20 wheel package and look so much better.
NOTE: Carfax shows a 'minor accident' to the right rear of the car. My wife was avoiding a work truck and to avoid being hit, she was pushed into the curb requiring us to get it repaired. There just happened to be a policeman standing right there when it happened. So a police report was written up. That's it. A wheel was scratched. Nothing more.
PRICE: $62,500 FIRM. No trades. The vehicle is in Pearland, Tx. Just outside the Harris County line that defines Houston.
My wife (at 73) loves her Jeep Rubicon stick shift. Why can't these ladies be happy with a Buick Electra like my mom? (lol)
You are kidding. Right? My mom in the 60’s drove a red Oldsmobile Starfire with a Jetstar 383cu.in. V8 like she stole it. You’re just late to the party. I’ve attached a picture of what she will be buying…
It’s our son’s car. Headed our way soon. 3800#’s with 550HP! Accelerator drop.
Yes, I'm kidding. My dad's change of life car was a '70 Dodge Challenger 383 V8 4bbl 4 speed 330hp -- all considered quite some muscle in its day. Mom drove a Mercury Cougar -- can't recall the specs, but my dad never had anything but V8's parked in our driveway. Life was different with $0.19/gal fuel.

Sold. She is scheduled to be picked up tomorrow afternoon on its way to Columbia SC. Hopefully, this week Montway can find a carrier to bring the GTC this way. Otherwise, the wife gets to drive my Porsche
