I finally have succeded in finding a good swap for my VW. There's a dealer in Chicago (Fletcher Jones) that my family has done business with previously, and a great salesman, John Willis. I called him on a whim today after about a month of fruitless searching through the trailer scarred skoal worshiping wasteland in which I live for a suitable used Mercedes. Long story short I traded the Rabbit and some cash on a gorgeous '06 C280 4matic with 22,000 miles and one previous owner. It's black on black (First one EVER with heated seats!) auto, with blemish free paintwork, and a spotless service history.

I'll be up Bright and Early tomorrow folks to go collect my newest Favorite Thing Ever.



There will be pics.
