Selling the E55
I also need it sold by Monday. I am leasing a new car...it's been a true pleasure being a member on here. I can't get to where I want to be with this car. Going to lease a car for 3 years and move up to a new AMG after it's all said and done.

Thanks! I'm debating between 3 cars. One is a no brainier, a 2016 Optima SX-L. White with the dark red interior ($). The second is a 2016 STI Limited ($$) or a Focus RS ($$$). I'm leaning towards the KIA. It's a 180 degree flip but the maintenance is cheap and so is the lease. I'll be able to step into a 63 bi-turbo after that or keep it as a a DD and get a c63 Coupe.
TBD....

I work for Kia/Mobis so buying a KIA was such a good deal. It stung a little but oh well...ill get back into AMG's soon enough and have a bigger and better one!

Nope. It's not going to get tuned
The Pro's of this car
Amazing headlights - Active Curve and Dynamic High Beam Assist
The Leather - It's the softest Nappa leather I have ever felt, the color is also amazing
Surround View Monitors - It makes parking and parallel parking actually fun, I look forward to challenging parking situations now
Air Conditioning and Air Conditioned Seating - Everything is so cold within minutes I am turning everything back off since I'm -400*F. A issue I never had with the E55
Cup Holders - It can hold a beverage larger than 6fl.oz
The Ability to drive it self in low speed stop and go traffic
The headunit is the best system I've ever used, paired with their Harmon Kardon it sounds amazing.
A 10 Year 100,000 mile warranty...
Cons:
Not a whole lot of power, it does produce a nice 260lb.tq on the low end so it's pretty quick in the city streets. It's not too exciting on the highway but what else do you expect from a Kia.
FWD = one tire fire
Kia...too bad it's a Kia

that's substantial in that car 
my wife had an older Kia Optima - thing ran like a top for years, best warranty ever - I think you made a great purchase...
just don't put an AMG badge on it
