I know it’s an older car, it just seems like it’s had a lot of owners (8?) and a lot of early issues with the module. That may be totally normal, I don’t know. I just know what I’ve learned in the last year driving these incredible machines. I too have been tipsy at the end of an auction and ended up with vehicles. I really didn’t need or even want. (For example-The S600, which I absolutely love, nothing else I’ve ever driven, comes close, and I’ve had some pretty sweet rides) but with a new baby, my needs (and budget) have changed. I appreciate your honesty in the comments below and the future I’ll try to be more direct and leave out the extra commentary
I love the color combination, I don’t think Ive seen another like it. Just a quick question or two I noticed two different invoices for repairs one dated 727 Ielly at 8/10. The first invoice shows extensive repairs, and the second talks about a suspension issue, which appears to have been corrected. It’s just hard to see because there’s no total on the August 10 invoice. I also wondered if the issue was not noticed by the first mechanic or if the problem just appeared two weeks later. I don’t know whole lot about cars, except how expensive they can be to maintain. I have a S600 with super low miles and complete maintenance records from new, but I spend more on maintaining that car than any sane person should. I’m looking to replace my E350 wagon because I want more horsepower and performance. I mistakenly purchased the wagon, thinking it would be plenty of performance mods to do that, sadly, it seems to be one of the cars that doesn’t have very many options. I’m just deciding between an E500 or an AMG. My concern with the AMG is it will cost even more than the S600 to properly maintan. Sorry for being long-winded, it seems there are plenty of performance mods for the E500 it would be cheaper by far in the long run. If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know. Thank you, and if my comment is out of line, please let me know. I’m new to this site.
