Over what? Driving one of the finest, quietest, most tech laden comfortable cars on the planet? For a run of the mill Japanese car...I could understand if there was a financial component to it, but that does not seem to be the case ( and if there is, I apologize) and why would you take a bath on a perfectly fine car?

That is a 2 year old thread. Why didn’t the OP sell it when this happened? Why wait 2 years? Boy, that’s holding a lot of anger in for a very long time!

Hype has proven, at least to me, to be a decent guy. We all get pissed off from time to time—especially with car dealers—and some of us get a little more vocal in our displeasure than others. In my younger years, I can recall more than one tantrum I threw at a dealership. I’m not proud of the fact, but sometimes after you plunk down over a hundred large and then get treated like you just fell off the watermelon truck, you lose it. Anyway, cut Hype some slack. I respect his opinions.

I believe the Honda Accord is a magnificent car. I want one and if I had another garage space, I’d buy one, just for the hell of it. I think it is, without a doubt, “THE” current bargain in new cars. All that said, I can’t tell you how impressed I am with my new S560. I thought my 2015 S550 was a pretty great car, but almost every, single thing about the 2018 is WAY better. Hype: I strongly suggest you drive the new S and then make up your mind. Whatever your decision, best of luck.

i respect your choice. Those big Benzs bleed $3k/month, and it’s hard to understand that fact collectively over a few years time. If I had to go your route, I would have gone Lexus, but alas your satisfied and that’s all that matters.

As as for the 9k, that’s the kind of money I would have gambled with and not gotten warranty. I paid $6000 on a cl63 that I thought was semi rational.

One wish, .........please keep hard abs thread going rofl. !!

I will be sorry to see you go. After Mike left it has not been the same. With you leaving for sure it won’t be the same. Enjoy the new ride. Nothing better than a new car.

Sometimes, I look back on the 61 new cars I have bought or leased and wondered where I would be today, financially, if I had just gotten a new Accord every ten years instead. But, when I think of being a 39 year old single guy, with a brand new Rolls-Royce Corniche Convertible, I can’t complain. I enjoyed all my cars and still do. I probably won’t stop buying them until I kick the bucket. That said, my four Honda Accords were amongst my favorites. The Rolls was a piece of junk, but driving it with the top down, was like being the Grand Marshal in the Rose Parade!
