The drive back after buying it is a great time. I drove from Miami back to Houston after buying mine.

It's all about the drive! It's the only way to roll. Besides, closed container shipping is $2,200 more than to just drive it back :-/

Any Phoenix area members here? I'm looking for a recommendation for a dependable Mercedes indy shop for routine maintenance.

Hey there, Surprise out past Sun City but come into Phx all the time. I don't know of anybody yet thats close by, my only source so far has been this great forum and if needed a mechanic at Chandler MB. I'm needing his Star tool and skills but waiting for a worthwile trip all the to Ray Rd. LOL.

Thanks everyone for the greetings! Nice to see a couple member in my state, but I'm shocked that there aren't any closer to Phoenix, Scottsdale or Glendale. I saw a few on the freeway since I got here a year ago.

I took some cell pics for you guys after a good detail since taking my 2,200 mile trip!
