Most here probably don't know who the heck I am, or care. But this is probably my last post on this forum, not that I've been around much the last couple years anyway. But to those I know, just wanted to say it's been fun! Have had a lot of laughs, as well as a few serious moments. Never "met" anyone here I wouldn't like to meet face to face (yes, even you, Kerry)
Anyway, the 'ol Benz is just getting to need more TLC than I have time, energy, or $$ to put into her. Still a good, solid car, even with 360k miles. But up for sale she goes.
Just picked up a Lexus GS300 last week, with low miles. I always said if I were to buy a newer luxury car, it'd be a Lexus. Germans still make awesome cars, but I'm not going down the maintenace path with the newer ones. Sorry. They need to get their act together, and build 'em like they used to, IMHO.
Anyway, didn't intend to start a "build quality" debate. Been enough of those here.
Take care all!
