Very nice Bruce. Congrats.

New mercs look so much more aggressive than they did a few years ago.

Awesome Bruce, looks the goods.

Didn't think it'd be similar in size to the Lib though!

Yes complete with a very glitchy "Command APS" system, worse suspension dampening, no 19 inch wheels with the performance pack, worse fuel economy, worse transmission, no DRL's and a possibly weakness in the headbolts.

I reckon the red calipers with the 19s look great and I prefer the look of the facelift series. Plus all of the above items I didn't want to live with.

You'll find the pre facelift cars are much cheaper for a reason.

But each to their own...

Yeah interestingly they are closer than I thought they'd be. Here they are side by side with the C63 on the left and Gen IV TB STI

It's probably that engine and the brake calipers adding all that weight. So it's all good! :D

You've done well.
I was checking out an '09 wagon in our street this eve.
The owner got it for 97k w 30ks.
No sport pack but he was happy enough with it ;)
