So, I posted a while back that my Mother's 50th bday was coming up. She was stuck between a Porsche Panamera or a E-Class sedan with a brand new kitchen. She pulled a fast one and went with the E350 Coupe. Growing up Mom always had the nicest/practical car than Dad. This is her fourth E- Class and she loves it. They ticked off every freaking option available. Crap like extra spoilers, aluminum pedals, multi-cont seats, AMG wheels, etc. Mercedes shipped the car 200miles from Tampa and brought it to their house around noon. They sent a representative to the house later that night to explain how everything worked! If that isn't great customer service, I dont know what is. They called me from the bluetooth so I could hear the kick ass premium sound. You can guess it didnt sound great on my end. Everything is voice activated. I probably put 100miles on the thing between visits. It is definitely the stiffest car I recall her owning. I wouldn't exactly call it 3 series sporty but it feels good. It is freaking nice though. Wow. I can't wait to get to that age to have rich wood on my steering wheel. :-) I wouldn't call my parents gear heads. They just love different types of cars and switching often. I got a call from Dad saying the MINI's days are numbered when he heard about the 5.0 stang! It's a race between him and I to see who gets our next car first. A smart person wouldn't bet on me. They really don't care about reliability(under warranty) as you can see. Their current IS350 has seen the shop more than any European marks. Go figure.

Screw this, I'm voting liberal from here on out, you're living too fat, I deserve a piece of your pie gonfunnit.
If you get the 5.0, or whatever BMW I'm sure you're looking at, I'm gonna move to florida and rob you, lol.
Nice car man, I hate to ask, but how much did it come out to?

I loved the sports seats in the E Coupe. Great nav, too!

Haha, "too fat" is what my brother tells my Mom. I dont live with them. It's just fun to steal the toys when I visit every couple of months. It's very motivational. They normally dont go option crazy but it came out to 61k. CarMax offered them 31k for their 07 E550 sedan with 28,000mi. I'm not sure if they took it. They never ever pay near sticker for anything though.

Dad's 50th is in two years. Depending on how much all 3 of us throw into it, it could be a Ford Fiesta or a 911. I'm trying to nurse my own damn car fund.
