yea you are right.. but i want the s class. the eclass comes with the 5 liter right?

**egbiz** · 10-15-2007, 02:55 PM

The new W221 S class is back on target. Benz stepped up their game and from what I have read is really a fantastic vehicle. '04 might be better than an '03 .. But that body style has had known issues. Do some research.

I would save the money, what are those '04's going for now..? 40-50k? Just get a '99 C43 AMG ..

**xNetworx** · 10-15-2007, 02:58 PM

The new S class design trumps the old one IMO so I'd stay away from the older body style. I have an SL500 and I'm hoping they dont redesign it for at least a few more years.

Direct from Mercedes maybe....you shouldn't pay any more then 35k from a used car dealer now....and that's for one in mint condition.

hell yeah.. or a mercedes BRABUS official tuner of mercedes next to AMG

**egbiz** · 10-15-2007, 03:27 PM

Brabus is the only Benz tuner I would even consider. Besides AMG obviously. But the new Brabus line kind of fell off as far as looks (The power is still there of course). Those new rims arn't that great.. The monoblocks are dope though

**FreeHugeMovies** · 10-15-2007, 03:35 PM

Only buy JAP.

why not Renntech? They are more "official" then Brabus is... I don't even know of any dealers installing Brabus mods, yet almost all dealers will install Renntech and still honor full factory warranty.

Not that I would use Renntech though, I'd go for Kleemann w/ evosport headers and pulley kit for the 55k engines

**brand0n** · 10-15-2007, 04:54 PM

i like they way they look

**NETbilling** · 10-15-2007, 05:44 PM

There are more lemon law filings against Mercedes in CA than all other manufacturers combined.

**Arkantiger** · 10-15-2007, 07:45 PM

**ePorn** · 10-15-2007, 08:00 PM

Get a BMW and tune it out in Schnitzer. 'nuff said. ;)

**Vitasoy** · 10-15-2007, 08:15 PM

They look elagant, business look..not for the young crowd

**tony286** · 10-15-2007, 08:16 PM

**sweetpurple04** · 10-15-2007, 09:07 PM

Stay away from the Jetta too. Not dependable at all.

I have a 2001 C320 Mercedes. Probably the least dependable car I have ever owned. Seems like every month there is some minor problem. These minor problems always cost an arm and a leg to fix. I have two seperate appointments this week for problems and service. Looks like another $1,500.00 week without a car.

I say stick with Honda or Toyota makes. Acura or Lexus on the high end.

**gecko** · 10-15-2007, 09:45 PM

All class. :D

**VeriSexy** · 10-15-2007, 10:13 PM

I wouldnt drive that... maybe until I reach 50

**Violetta** · 10-15-2007, 10:17 PM

Im gonna buy myself a mercedes one day too!
