Unthinkable trade.
Trading my 2010 2SS/RS M6, RJT today for a 2011 E550 4Matic. We have a new baby, I live in Pittsburgh, and it will now sit...for months.
We are also trading my wife's cruze. We are keeping my Grand Cherokee, but I wanted to have a cool family hauler. The Benz has extended warranty through 2016 and 39,000 miles. It's a sport, so 18's, suspension, cross drilled rotors, etc. My heart kind of hurts, but, it saves us a car payment a month and its still pretty sweet. Going at 3PM EST, so....yeah, I have to turn in my bowtie! |

I wouldn't have either, but the W212 EClass is a badass looking sedan. The numbers were too good and the Camaro is only depreciating like crazy. I know I can get another 5th Gen someday, (ZL1 )

I understand having a car sit for 6 months a year is no fun. Enjoy the new ride.

Nah new family. Nice sports sedan, been looking for a while but finally found a deal worth accepting.
Saving money too. Can't beat that. |

Warranty is through July 2016 or 100,000 miles whichever comes first.

Appreciate the insight. What is so mechanically bad that I should worry about? It's a 2011, when did you last service a 2011 EClass? Just looking for info. If you can give me a real reason why I should be terrified of this car, I will take it into account. I don't take delivery until 3PM so I have time.

I thought you had traded for a unicycle.
