my key was stolen a while ago so I ordered a replacement through the Mercedes dealer in oakland. the problem is, the replacement cost $1200. if you pay for the key, i will let you drive the car for a week or 2, which is an amazing deal because i've seen rental rates for the car at up to $620/day!
its a gorgeous black hard-top convertible. hardly ever driven, keys stolen right after i got it!
if this sounds like something you're interested in, lease give me a call at xxx xxx xxxx thanks!

I'd take the car for a week for that deal. But, I can think of better things to do with my money really.

No more than I'm paying to drive my 250.

That moron owns a car of that caliber but can't afford the $1200 for the key? I'd say either (a) he's a con man, or (b) he's a dumbass. Take the deal and you'll get to find out the hard way which one he is - frankly, as long as he stays away from me, I don't care which one he is.

Nothing. Just go to the dealer and test drive one.
