Was going to sell my R but have decided I'm going to need it now.

That's right, we've had the R since my 21 month old son was born and the car has been a delight in helping us move, haul and store my entire sons infant to toddler gear and be extremely comfy and secure on long trips to the in-laws in any weather.
We were thinking about selling it in hopes of finding a more efficient and perceived reliable car/ suv/ crossover vehicle however my wife told me the other day we will be expecting our second kid with that said I can finally justify the car and know it will continue to be perfect for our family.

Being born with a Mercedes in the family may be something like "silver spoon."
