Hello from Canada

Hi guys. Owned MB cars since 1985. Now driving 2013 GL550 and 2011 AMG SLS. Just sold 2013 CLS 550. Have owned GL450, S Class 500&550,SL550, E Class 300, ML350, ML550, BMW X6 5.0 ltr, H2 Hummer; Escalade; Volkswagen beetle, Volvo, Chev Suburban, AMC Gremlin, Duramax 3/4 ton, Ford Fiesta, and Honda and Triumph motorcycles. At one time I thought Benz and BMW were equal. BMW builds very poor quality engines, so Benz is the winner. IMO

E430
Hello From Vancouver

Happy Saturday! So here is my car ownership past: Triumph TR6, VW Beetle, Volvo 264GL, BMW 528e, Taurus Wagon (the kid years), Ford Explorer x2, Toyota 4Runner, GMC Sierra, Porsche 944, Chevrolet Avalanche (present), BMW 320i (present), and now ... E430 Wagon.

None of these cars compare in build quality to the Mercedes. It's pretty impressive. It's a 2001 Avantgarde which was imported from Japan. I only just picked it up. It has 40,764 km with a full service history. I paid $7,990!

I'm pretty happy to be in the forum!

Cheers.
