Mark is a cool cat. Trust me, this may be the first E55 he drove, but he has plenty of places to see nice cars. Yep, drove the vette Z06. Balck on Black. $75K out the door!! Just could not do it. I will either get a great deal on an new E55 in the men time or wait on a Pcar!

Can't keep it and get a P. I can get get the new E by using funny financing, because of the lease specials. Basically, I commit to another year (now 2 then 3) and I end up with an '06 (Loaded). Not a bad deal, considering I love the E and that i want to start mods, anyway. I can't do the 996TT when the 997 w/ aero looks like it does. I love gadgets and I just have to have the latest and greatest, if I am going to get an extreme car. I do love the 997TT, and may (very small chance) wait and get it. I'll loose decent money, but I was never one to worry about that part IF i am happy.
I use the E55 as a DD. I actually keep the Jeep as my weekend (baby) car. That's about how odd I am. I'm all confused, but the '06E55 is such a no-brainer, since it is pretty much an even trade. The only catch is that to not take a straight bath, I need to stay w/ MB. I could get the wife the new GL, and take the cash of her car and go the P route. But then, I'm looking at a minimum $1000/month that I am not paying now for all my cars combined.

Jangy,

What's the latest and greatest in your neck of the woods? Have they located your car? They still havent call me back yet, however, I think they are working hard... :-)

I changed my mind and NOT get the white one... I am going black!

What up...I can't do used. A comparably equipped CLS55 would run me $250/month more than an E55. That just doesn't justify the car. If I do drop the E, it would only be for the 997TT.

Hoehn is good reputation people. They will get what you want. the key is to get them to commit to the deal, which we did. Now, we just gotta get the car we want. I even had them look for cars on the water, but the E55s are getting pretty sparse for now. They told me to expect news on the rides tomorrow. Patti only worked until 3 today, so she will be in to close it then. Hoehn also has good relations w/ riverside, since they both sell the same brands (Pcars, MBs, Audi, etc.)
