Default Good bye club lexus, again

Sold the GS3 recently, I had fun modding it and when I was done it was still not what I wanted. Daizen bushing, new ball joints, etc... I was still not happy with the way it drove so I decided to sell it after a few months of ownership and get something a bit new, I ended up with a 05 MB E500 . Sport Pkg, Comfort Pkg, Entertaiment Pkg, Keyless go, etc....
Over all I am enjoying the car, already did a few mods such as a light drop via the Airmatic suspension, E63 rear lip spoiler, AMG E63 Exhaust tips, flat emblem and painted the grill. Over all it is a good car, one day I will be back in a lexus but I am enjoying being back in a MBenz.

See you guys around and good luck modding.


The previous Platnium Edition GS3









------------
The new DD,

I was never a fan of the E class but they have potential if modded nice. Definitely an upgrade. Enjoy it! Congrats BTW!

nice benz but that does not have the sports package, you can tell by the bumpers.. and whats the entertainment package?
looks like a e class with p2 package which comes with navi, air suspension and usually xenon lights, but comfort package is usually heated and cooled seats which you dont have.. if you wanna give me the vin i will tell you all the info on the car and exactly what options you have an what work was done at a benz dealer

An E500 4Matic is what I wanted, but too much for my budget, so I got the GS400 instead.... Can't say I am unhappy with it!

Looks great! Friend of mine has a 06 E320 CDI and loves it.

From what im told the silver shifter surround and cluster indicate that it is the sport package, as for comforts its has the dynamic seats and privacy shades. . Also all E500 comes with the airmatic suspension, there were some changes to the 05 and then can facelift in 07, that might be the confusion.

Ill PM you my vin, I would like to find out for sure.

What made you get an MBZ? BMW is much worth it.

Atleast it still resembles the Gs:
1. Still has the bug eye look
2. It's a Gs with a factory K-break kit
3. A Gs rear with shaved inner tails
4. And best of all... You dont have to buy a kazz grill anymore.
... Just sayin.

Congrats on the new ride btw...
