Dilemma
Here's the situation.
Yesterday I called some dealer asking about their E55s on sale. Then I stumble upon a dealership with a used SLK55. I thought it's worth a try so I called them in and there I go, testing the little beast. Not bad at all IMO. Upon returning I noticed that they have one SL55 used too, so I gotta give that a go as well. Feels faster but in the same time heavier.
After those drives I didn't feel like driving the E55 or CLS55 they had, I just asked them for the keys and just listened to the engine note.
Now the real question is, which one do you think is best for me? I love the looks of both convertibles but what I hate most about the SL is that it has 35k miles on the odo already, abit too much for my liking. Maybe I can rule the SLK out because me and my brother think it's a bit too small and it's hard to mod it to look 'elegant'.
The CLS is still too expensive for me, they're still asking around 95ish. The E on the other hand, I dunno what is it with that car that even after driving all those convertible, somehow I still manage to take a peek or two, even after leaving the showroom.
On Monday I get to test the 997 Carrera so throw that into contention as well.
One more thing, I'm 23 now, the sales lady (who's hot!) keeps saying I look great in the convertibles.

Give him a call and tell him you got his contact info from Ricky from MBWorld.org <-- He'll take really good care of you. If I remember right he's got a bunch of AMG's for sale.
