doesn't get any better than that... welcome to the wagon family.
BTW, if anyone is interested, I think I might be selling my K2 wagon soon.

WOW!! Gorgeous wagon. Yes, they are faster in a line due to the added rear weight (even without groceries). I love it. The wagons are such a specialty car that they stay soft. That is the main reason why MB hass not been able to offer better lease rates to get them out. Better for those of us that love them, wooohoooo. If I didn't already have an E, I'd go get an E55 Wagon just based on your pics. I almost forgot how much I like them. You planning on any other mods? Even a tint?

Wagon
By far one of the best looking wagons I have ever seen in my life anywhere in the world!

In addition it is in actuality only a 4-5 seater - just like the sedans. Yes one can obtain a third, rear-facing seat -- suitable for children only. Point is? The SUV models also give one additional adult pasenger carrying capacity (G-5+, R-6, GL-7)....
But that doesn't detract from what a great car the wagon(s) is. I have done both the E55 sedan and wagon - and prefer the wagon.

Is yours a 2006? I may be looking at last years model for $$ sake.

Most of the wagons come with the third row seat as far as I know, but I never use it, so I just fold it down flat.Good luck on the hunt. There are some greeeaaaaat deals on wagons right now.
I only know of a black wagon in the South....no dealer in the Chi area has one.
Is there a way to do a national dealer search besides cars.com?
Again, appreciate the help.

Don't expect I will ever see the deal posted in March by FastWagon for 66 k.
I was out of the country. Also, it was silver. After seeing your black, I'll never go back.

Or, at the very least, I will have to quote you in negotiations! Thanks for your continuing help. The only bad part of acquiring the wagon is that I will have to sell my triple black 03-M3 -- it IS a convertible but I can't justify having them both. My other car would have to be sensible and more family oriented....maybe a Cooper convertible to offset the AMG wagon. Would really like a 442 but that would be totally nuts.
guess i won't be the firstest, then, just the fastest. thanks for the sighting....another soccer muthah?
