Replying to: lex10 (May 26, 2007 12:21 am) DO like power. However, I drove a 350 Sport and was surprised that it has PLENTY of power! I think one thing that helps the instant power is its smooth and well geared 7 speed tranny. One dealer told me that they aren’t selling many 550s. Of course they’re 9,000 more, so that probably isn’t a big surprise. Gas mileage, TODAY, is quite important. I think that will effect resale, too. jimm ========== On Order: 08 E350 Sport, P2, Black/black, Parktronic, Voice, Bluetooth, Burl Walnut, Split rear seat, Rear mud flaps |

Replying to: blckislandguy (Jun 04, 2007 5:55 pm) So what is so bad about leasing? I drive a new car every 24 months. Should I feel better about myself driving a 10 year old MB that I own?

Replying to: blckislandguy (May 13, 2007 7:05 pm) I've looked at Volvos in the past but many of them aren't roomy enough for me (6' 3") and their reliability is pretty bad too. I do fit in the S80 but it isn't as "roomy" as the E320 so I probably wouldn't be comfortable on one of my 3-4K mile trips. Others mentioned buying a luxury Certified car. Both of my E320's were Starmarked and I wouldn't have bought them otherwise. Both required expensive repairs during the 50-100K range. The 2001 more so than the 1996...! Quality has been going down in my experience. I threw out the $800 repair number as an estimate. My 1996 once out of warranty cost me about $3500 in repairs between 115-120K miles. That's expensive when I'm doing about 19K miles per year.. I don't want to repeat that with the 2001 in the next year or so (95K and counting now). And I haven't been impressed by the resale /trade-in pricing. Maybe that's partly due to the perceived quality drop-off in recent years for MB. One luxury Certified car that interests me is the Infiniti M35. On the online auto sites, the few that are available are priced very high. But I'm looking at the 2006 version which is the newer M35. So maybe I'll have to wait a year to get an affordable one. Or buy a lesser car like an certified Avalon.. Time will tell..
