How can you say that you are willing to drop the price without saying that you're willing to drop the price?

Amazing that they waited a month or something to list this… it probably lost $5k or more in their sales price in that time and what sort of reconditioning could it be possibly have needed?

NP, lemme know if you want me to do anything with it, like remind :dillerman: that MSRP is a good offer, especially with 23s rolling in.

So my dudes … I may have found the :unicorn:

This thing popped up in my search yesterday… it’s a 1 owner car from the desert … that got relocated to Cali… every single service documented and done at mb.

It’s exactly the spec I wanted silver on black/amg pack. And the price is reasonable. I’m looking at it after my $55.88 oil change at Honderp

This is what gives me pause TBH. I want a long worthless truck bed for utility stuff, but there just isn't much out there. I'd love an El Camino, but that would be a project most likely and I'm not sold on dealing with old car shit.

Sweet looking W211. The touch points in the drivers side look pretty clean and in good shape, as does the body on the outside. Nice way to ride out depreciation hell if PDT isn't going to work for you over the medium term.

I'm pretty sure these are known by most to be indestructible if properly maintained. My dad has the next gen E350 and it was rock solid short of some fried O2 sensors and finicky DIY tasks. You'll lose little to nothing on it for how long you need it.

PDT is fine. But I feel like a complete dick borrowing it from my in laws. I’m not exactly living in the streets.

So the SQ5, that got price reduced $1600 since I drove it 3.5 weeks ago, just went up back to the original asking price.

Its clear that holding on to a highly depreciating vehicle for 75 days is good business … car businesses are absolutely :fullretard:

Oh wow. :megusta:
Man, W211's just look so :muah: . Their proportions are perfect, just like the E39, which is another perfectly sized/proportioned sedan, IMO. This one will do everything you want it to, for a long time.

Assume that's your TSX parked next to it. In-person impressions?
