with a history of AMG 203 204 208 211 and a C350 thrown in.

Recent purchase of 1 owner White 2011 W212 P2. 28k miles off lease. 59,995
with warranty until 3/2016 and unlimited miles. Car appears to have been tuned as it has a Miesterschaft GTS connected oval cat back exhaust and hauls like a beast. Not sure abut a tune but I believe its there too. Just compared to previous M156.

pano (with creaks), illuminated sills, lane assist, distronic, HIDs, split rear folding seat, 19" split 5 spoke wheels. Burl wood trim.

Looking forward to not worrying about the front air shocks nor the head bolt issues although i would expect others to take their place.

came recently from 2014 GMC Sierra Z71 4x4 crew cab. Yeah it feels good to be back in a benzie....

Congratulations on your purchase, sounds like an awesome car. There is no other sound like the sound of a NA 6.2 AMG engine, nasty.

Ha! Yup expected that one. I was so excited I just started the thread and then thought later....gonna need pics.
Gimme a chance, they will be coming. Its going to be a nice weekend here so I will be cleaning it up and then some pics.

In the mean time, thanks for the replies. This body is so similar to the C350 i had and i loved that car. Now with the 6.2 and 19"s man this car is awesome. Haven't used the race start yet, lookig forward to that.

I've never used RS either lol

no need to worry about the front air shocks because u dont have air shocks there, just in the rear

RobbieRob

I have about 600 miles on the new car and used it a hell of a lot already. Good break-in procedure. lol

Dude you really need to get rid of that Kate Upton gif, my wife gets a work out every time I read one of your posts.

LJMartin

I used RC for the first time the other day. It bogged down really bad at launch, but I was amazed at the black lines it laid down once it got back to business. Any one else get the bog. I was on blacktop so that might have had something to do with it.

That's one fine looking ride there. By the way, did the original owner refinish the wheels? Somehow, the wheels appear smaller possibly due the new finish rather than the original polished appearance.


LOL. To read his posts, I always had to scroll the page in such a way that only the top part of his postings show up on the bottom of the window. Of course now you have mentioned it, Hyperion is probably going to put up an even more ostentatious one for the next time.

tpick23

I have been thinking about the wheels too. They are perfect, without any nicks or scratches. Either they were taken off the car and stored then put back on or now that you mention it maybe painted. IDT they were painted but maybe someone can help out here. I had a C350 with similar split 5 spoke and they looked the same so it never occurred to me maybe they were painted.
Are these stock finish?
These are the 19" not 18"

hyperion667

hot damn OP looks great!

hyperion667

sorry: your wife shouldn't be intimidated; Kate is only 22 or something.....
and btw: I don't get the joke

dr. ss

I think he means he gets horny lookin at the upton pic and then his wife gets a workout (I.e. He bones his wife)

BADASS

LJMartin

The 19's on my 2010 have the lip and spokes polished and I think mine are more of a dark gray compared to yours. I think they were recoated. But they and the car look good.

LJMartin

Every women would be intimidated by Ms. Upton no matter what her age and Dr. SS explains it rather well.

tpick23

good eye otakki! you helped me realize what i was missing.Thanks

So the wheels were painted grey. I know this because they must have been painted before the new tire were put on. The old weights from tire mount shows black under them. I think previous owner must have blacked them out then they got refinished for resale. Kinda blows that they painted over them so....
I needed give the car back to the dealer to prep for delivery so sales guy says look it over and make a list of what needs attention. So over the weekend I washed it and found a few things.
The front lip has several scratches, cig lighter doesn't charge phone, etc. Happened to look closely at the rear drivers side bumper to find some small spider like cracks. huh, car has been hit in the rear but clean car fax...small nick in the top side of the oval exhaust...

Happily the dealer is taking care of all items, they will refinish and paint front and rear bumpers, they found a small rock chip in the windsheild, replacing that not repairing. Even will polish and wax the car for delivery. On top of new tires and rotors, pads.

Looks like this car has been driven, which is exactly what I plan to do too.
I got the current CPO deal, which included extra year warranty with unlimited miles.
