Seems like everyone is telling me this car is too much for the streets as a daily beater. But you can't track w/ with it either so what do people use it for then.
Anyhow, can it be a reliable daily beater? It is the only Benz that excites me so I need more specific inputs.

 

I know a couple guys who use them for daily drivers/club machines. IMO there isn't a better vehicle on the planet to make the LA to Vegas run... well maybe a Falcon 900 or something, but none with wheels I know of.

It's under warranty isn't it? Drive the wheels off that sled.

 

Someone on here has a white one that I think they use a DD.

 

I'm checking them out as well. They are monsters on the open road, they drive great and are very good looking IMO. I understand that traction is a bit problematic, but overall the new S class is improved compared to the previous versions. S63's offer a bit sportier drive with a higher rev engine. Biggest issue for me was the deprecion hit if purchased new. The previous version 06's are going for half msrp. or less. Low milage 07's can be had in mid 160's from 190's mrsp. Next year, they'll be under 125. Check out www.mbworld.org. Good luck.

 

Yeah the depreciation of these cars is worst than the 996GT2. That's why I am looking into a used 06 hopefully at half MSRP.

 

How's the handing though?
(Man the Gt2 and Gt3 really makes everything out there seems like pigs.)

 

Not having driven one, I hear that handling is pretty good compared to other cars in it's segment. Around town, an E63 might be better/more nimble but on the open road it is in it's element. Can't beat that type of torque.

 

Vincent do you still have the M3, and if so will you be selling it?

 

Yes but I am replacing it soon...

 

I like your M3 a lot, and since Trish let Carrie drive the 'vert M3 on the last drive, Carrie may be interested in your car.

 

for 180k , you have 2 options
one: a bentley flying spur , which they make 1400 of for the contintental US.
or
a s class, which they make approx 36000 for the continental US..

tough choice huh

 

Only if you're ignorant enough to base the decision on exclusivity alone.

 

I thought the flying spur was to small for you?

 

Act fast or it'll be gone.

 

I will tell her when she get back in my car. That is why she needs it is so I can keep her out of mine. Your's is a 'vert right?

PM me on details
year
miles man/auto

And I know how you keep your cars so that is why I would be interested.
