The economy has taken a toll on our family finances this year so it's time to be prudent. As such, I've decided to trade in my baby for a C350. I'll cut my payment in half and still drive a pretty nice car. It's fully loaded and should be nice.

I've had a lot of fun. I just wish I had the opportunity to take it to sea level to race. I have caught so much flack for my video racing a Z06 at the motor speedway and only turning in a 12.0 time. I only went sub-12 one time because I never raced at the track with a DA lower than 6000'. Nobody believes the car is a Stage 5 Renntech car but it is...ask the vipers, P cars, motorcycles, etc who routinely get worked on the streets of Las Vegas.

It's not always easy to be prudent and when things turn around, I plan on getting back into the AMG game. The new SL65 looks pretty sweet!

I wanted to thank everyone who I've had the pleasure of communicating with on this forum. I truly have enjoyed reading most of the posts. It's got to be the best car forum around.

I'll keep visiting.

Always better to make a responsible decision.

Just have to look at the bright side of things- life aint all bad when you're going from a mercedes to a mercedes. That's a whole lot better than going from a mercedes to a bicycle...

Good luck with your future!

how come you didn't list it here for sale? could have gotten a bit more than what the dealer would have given you on a trade in?

Excellent choice Rudy! The new c is hot! I was contemplating the idea but decided to wait a bit.

I'm assuming it was a lease.

G/luck Richard, hang in there things will straighten out.

Thanks to all. Yes it was a lease and the dealership I got it from is a class act. The deal they gave me on the C was very nice and the payment was almost $200 less/month than the local dealership for the same car.

Things will turn around and when they do..I'll be right back to AMG.

My old license plate read "FAST4DR." I think the new one will be "HAD AMG."
