They'll probably offer it to my dealership for 22-23K and we'll probabaly resell it in the upper 20's. I learned they were cleaning it and sending it for inspection today then putting it out on the lot without CPO'ing it. They will probably CPO it if a interested customer requests it.

yeah stock wheels and tires were not so great shape with the upcoming winter months last fall, so what you see there is 4 - 9" rear wheels from a E350 with 4 matching GL 265's on them. I had 4 CLS front wheels on it last year with 245's which I think looked better

Unfortunatly the MLP wasnt available when I got this. By the time it was, they wouldn't let me add it to this vehicle, I'd have to turn it in (losing money b/c the value of 251's dropped) and would have basically broke even when rolling the loss into a new vehicle on the MLP. Not worth it. Sticker on this one was 59K.... hahahaha!

I followed the flex counter in the cluster, but did the servicing on my own- no RO's which I thought was going to present a problem upon return, but I did fill out the maintenance booklet. When the inspector came out, he checked the book (and my printout from the FSS showing the oil changes), he said no problem, and signed off on it. You ar required to keep up with the services- it's in the contract and if you don't, there will be penalty fees upon vehicle return.
