Goodbye Mercedes, hello P car :)

I really wanted to keep my MB E350 long term. But its coming off warranty at the end of the month. And the $%@#$#@# nav systems failed 3 times this year. Constant (albeit small) issues. I had such a good experience with my 986 boxster......

Black with some junk in the trunk, thats how I likes em'

2005 Carrera S
Well equiped. Sports Chrono, exhaust, nav, sound system....fire extinguisher! (Never new that was a factory option....)
13.5k miles, CPO warranty. New tires. $53.9k
Its a tip, and you'll get no apologies from me. I love it.
P.S. If you have good credit, money is stupid cheap at the moment.

Good price with a CPO and tip!

Be weary of the fire extinguisher, it will cut the heck out of the back of your legs!

You'll have to bring it down to the XXX sometime. Maybe we can hit the range afterwards.

Congrats....You should eventually step up and get some Reeeims.
And I would also recommend looking into some PSS10's and also going with a badge delete. Keep 'em guessing.

Hate to contradict but I would leave the stock wheels on the car.

Nice looking car. Have fun and good luck.

Indeed. There is a new range somewhere in the southend of Bellevue I have been meaning to try. I can't say I care for the guys at Wades.

So....the first place I took her? The track? A winding mountain rode?

Nope. Loaded up wife and kid and headed for the grocery store. She hauls milk just fine.
