Mercedes Benz V8's

Lol yeah that white CLS at Carmax seems decent. It doesn’t have AMG Line though and the interior is definitely pensioner-spec beige. Maybe @djrabbi has some extra HRE’s lying around and a body kit. It’s a RWD spec, so the number of buyers will be less during the Winter.

Most people (not LH’ers) change cars every 3 to 4 years. So a car from 2014 would reasonably have 3 owners. I agree the true Affalterbach’s often get repo’ed or liquidated early due to repair costs. So they often have like 6 owners and 4 reported accidents in the same timeframe.

There’s a E550 Cabriolet in Ohio that has abnormally low 22k miles listing for $30k. Same pensioner-spec colors as that CLS lol. Mercedes V8, W212, has a volume knob, but isn’t an AMG. Bummer.

While the volume knob is tempting, I actually hate convertibles with a passion. (hardtop convertibles are an exception). Maybe @djrabbi can just buy a clean 63, then when he gets bored of it after a few weeks he can sell it to me for 50% off the original selling price. Will throw in a sbux gift card and some ABA subscription emails

Sounds like a SL550 hard top is right up your alley then. Listing $27k, 2 owners, well serviced, clean Carfax, no road salt, 55k miles, has a volume knob, and it’s the baller-ass red. Pensioner beige interior though.

Oh shit, the 2013 SL550 has NECK WARMERS. @IAC_Scott this should double the price of the car right?

LOL. Yeah okay. I usually sell my cars for top dollar. People laugh as my asking prices but I rarely have to “discount” to move it. Tricks of the trade

The SL didn’t get the AIRSCARF until the midcycle refresh for the 2008 model year.

There’s a 2008 SL55 much closer to you that seems to have a clean carfax. Another pensioner-spec beige interior. Mercedes sure sells a lot of these cars to rich old people who like beige.

They didn’t option the AIRSCARF though. Says 1 owner on the listing, but it’s clearly 2 owners (ignoring the current dealer who registered it in MT).

I’m gonna have to actually sit in one and see. Just remembered I’m 6’4 so the comfort level may be below par for me in an SL lol

SL is out then… in that generation most people around 6’ 3" felt the car was too small or their head would touch the headliner.

MB Raleigh just got a 2021 S560 Coupe in a few days ago. Send @djrabbi in there raving about how he has an ABA PIN, is a Chabad-Lubavitch emissary, and stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. Get 50% off and a SBUX gift card.

I got a good relationship with them since my GLE lemon was sitting there. I am sure I can get them to knock off a good chunk

Boring spec BUT low mileage, one owner and apparently oil changes every 2K miles lol

Boring spec means savings to add coil overs, HRE’s, and a wrap.

@IAC_Nick - too bad you’re so far from SoCal. Long Beach just picked this one up. One owner… like 5k miles per year. Every service performed at a SoCal MB dealership. DJRabbi has access to transporters… maybe title it in MT and have it shipped to your front door heh.
