greetings

i just sold my 03-cls-6sp/nav on Tuesday and last night I picked up the goodness below

I'll browse/search around before asking too many dumb FAQ's! This car is jam packed with goodies I need to learn to use.

close to mint throughout and decent mileage at 42,300. and damn that's a huge nav screen!

here are a few dealer pics until the wash/wax/photos later today (if it stops raining!).

Car max always has guite a few but I think their prices are too high.

no i sold my CL on craigslist, started at 15K and final sale was $14,500.

I didnt negotiate w/ CarMax (no haggle pricing?) but feel good regardless due to the excellent condition of the vehicle and it is simply the 'sex' to drive!!

A requirement for any car I buy. I once had a dealer tell me I could take the sticker off with a hair dryer when I got it home. I told him that with any sticker on it, it wasn't going home.

Congrats on the purchase!

Meteor Silver/Ebony was my first choice in color when I was RL-shopping.

Looks good. Welcome!
Did you consider any other vehicles before deciding on the RL?
