Keep the old blue. I know that car, and I like it a lot, and you know its history exactly and you have a lot into it. Cosmetically it's damn near perfect.

Yeah the 500E is screamin' smoking hot fun (I know I would lose my license in a week if I bought one, the way I drive, 'cause I have driven one of 'em on a test drive from a dealer across the street from RAB Mercedes, on Francisco Blvd. in San Rafael....) but you need to pass on this one. You know nothing of its condition. It coulda been beat on like the family mule for all you know.


Either wait till you can afford a mint 500E/E500 or just keep on tweaking your wagon until the day IT finally becomes your dream vehicle: an AMG 500TE.


I know you like wagons anyway. I like them myself, as you know.
