Well, after trying to sell my 1998 GS300 for about two months with minimal luck i took it took it to Manheim auto auction and sold it for $26,200 not bad cuz i paid $27,000 for it 10 months and 10000 miles ago. But on Friday after I sold it I bought a 2002 Mercedes C32 AMG, that thing had a sticker of $59,500 but I am so in love with the car, it is silver with blue and black leather and navigation. I stay with a C5 vette all day!!!!!!!

 

Hey, how often is the auction in Manheim PA? I want to go there to look for a car. Any info on it? Thanks

 

congrads on the new car... man your GS must have had really low miles on it...

Manheim has auctions throughout the week for dealers only, so if you know a dealer you can get in. My car only had like 33k on it and it was absolutely spotless.

 

heh.. i dont know 2002 c32amg must be good.. no doubt.. gs is also very good

 

should have bought a gs 400 or anything up......

but congrats anyway.....

 

But the car has that tight German feel and when the supercharger hits, it is gone!!!!

 

So did you paid sticker for your c32 and how long was the wait if there is one? I am thinking about going the same route..except that I will lose way more moeny than you since i bought my 01 GS3 brand new...

 

congrats on your new car. Must be a big diffrence from the GS. I was thinking about getting one but Im gonna wait for the new 6-series instead, or if lexus decides to put out a real sports car and not just a tease

 

Hmmm, dunno..paying $60K for a Civic-size car? Sure, it's fast and you can keep up with C5 but it's still no bigger than a Civic...I guess if the size doesn't bother you...

Personally, if I was looking for a compact 4-door, I'd rather have a IS300 (same luxury features with a Nav that's 1000x better) and I'd just do a Toyomoto Turbo...for $45K, it'll probably BEAT a C5....

 

Okay, there can be a wait to get a new C32. After driving an IS there is a HUGE difference in that and my car. NOT CLOSE in ANY aspect. The C32 is beautiful on the inside with racing seats and aluminum trim. Put a turbo on as IS and blow that up and u will have no warranty at all. Yes the Benz is small, but damn those blue seats hold u tight. I recommend this car to anyone and honestly this car is not comparable to any other car except a new M3, especially not a civic. Drive one of these, there is only 1200 of them in America. Then you will know what im talkin about. I got a deal on mine too, got it for $48,5000 at trade in from a (dealer/friend), not bad with 4k on it after the guy who traded it in gave me the invoice which showed he paid 65k 3 months ago. Not to mention the Benz place down the street offered me 51k to trade it for a CLK55 amg the day after i bought it!!!!!!! the things worth like 54ish retail.

 

Yeah that is a tite *** ryde. You can feel some quality difference, pops has a 99 S600 that thing feels bulletproof.

 

It is completely different from my GS, not to knock the GS, but when I drive this car it makes a statement.
