Well as a 3 pm today we no longer own the 99 E300.
A local couple along with a friend that is a Mercedes Benz Club of America member, owns a E430 came by today and test drove the car. We settled on a price and went to my credit to handle the paper work. Handed the 2 keys over to them and watched it drive away.
My wife and I decided that with the condition of American
Airlines we should eliminate any debt. We now have a mortgage payment and that is it. Except for the 82 300TD and the 88 560SL parts requirements.
