I have had my 01 SE in three different dealers service centers.

I either recieved a bad rendition of a previously reliable vehicle, or spent to much money on a good idea(conceptually). I only have 41000 miles on my car and have been in line at a service center or stuck driving my wifes Civic Si. Which has never been in the shop. It has not been a good one guys. I have had a lot of fun exchanging ideas but in Dec I will trade her in on an 03' E500. Thanks for a great site! Chris

The car will be a lease so I can write it off. No taxes is a good thing. I wrote 3 mortgages, 2 life aps, and will be getting my securities license next month to add to the arsenal. I have a list of 300+ people in my area code, as well as similar #'s in the surrounding counties. Like shooting fish in a barrel. I have a friend who is selling a 97'M3 for $17,000. It's a little to small for my frame, OK it's fat. I have thought about nitrous, but lack of skill and leathat consiquenses keep me from that. The local shops are filled with elitist ****** I refuse to give my money to. The race between my friend was sobering. Well actually all of the races. The IS is a 5 speed, mine an auto. I can get him off the line every time. Then the top of first, he noses me. After that it is over. Third and forth don't pull very hard. I have FSTB, RSB, and a recently remaved Place Racing CAI I removed for a blown MAF to be covered under warranty. Chris

Hey Chris, not to get into your finances too deep, but I'd seriously suggest that you first save up the money for a decent downpayment (or are you leasing the new E?), rather than rely on completing 2 mortgages for the next TWENTY weeks! That's a long streak, and I'm not in the business, but 2 mortgages a week for that long seems like a hard task to accomplish.
Anyhow, that's just my suggestion, and that's what I would do in your place. However, if you're confident enough that you won't **** yourself over, then go ahead and make the purchase if you decide on the E500.
By the way, for the price of the E500, you can probably pick up a new 540i sport (w/6 sp if you prefer, or auto). I think that's a tighter car overall--more of a driver's car if you will (Benzes have too many computers, and the driver-car connection is not as defined).
