Gorgeous!
Congrats! I'm looking for one just like that! Can you help?
I'm planning to come over from the "dark side" (BMW). Looking for a nice '01 or '02. Appreciate any help or suggestions. Thanks!

1989 Toyota Tercel EZ - dyno'd @ 70whp/77wtq
Rob, congrats!!!! Finally.... 
From the pics, it looks like she's in much better condition than mine.... yes, it does look like a low mileage.
Let's get together some time and take some pics together. W210 and W211 E55... both in designo mocha. Should be one hell of a picture... but unfortunately, I'm not a professional photographer 
Your interior seems to be a little darker and orange-ish than mine, though.

(sorry, Rob 
).Many people don't think designo is worth it. I think it's like $6-9K upgrade for a special leather, special wood and special exterior color. If I were to buy it new, I too will not consider designo - even though the exterior DOES look good.

Thanks Arnold.
Sure!
I'm open this Saturday morning. Your wife's studio seems
to be a great place to take pictures. What do you think?
I'll bring my camera.
If you still have my cell #, call me.

Very rare, yes.... one of a kind, no (sorry, Rob ).

This coming Saturday may not work as I will be driving my other grocery getter to pick up a relative at the airport in the afternoon... but I'll give you a call in the morning to confirm.

Rob, can't make it this Saturday... My car will likely be at Euroelites (on Grimmer Blvd. near Auto Mall Pkwy) for ECU upgrades 
I'll drop the car off in the morning and plan to be there around 1PM. So if you want to, you could meet me there (www.euroelitesonline.com)... would really love to see a W210 designo

Yep.... Adam at Euroelites said my S/C w/ renntech pulley should engage a lot more smoothly w/ the ECU upgrade... Logically, I don't believe it until I see it.... but hey, what do I know
