so im trading in my 1994 Mercedes S320 (W140) tommorow, and i think the dealer is going to rape me on the price,

thus effectively recouping my successful but in the long term ineffective pillaging of his profit to invoice+$1000 for the M3...

the car has an assload of problems, and i'm too lazy to take it to the merc dealer to have them turn off the error lights in an effort to hide the problems.

it is 110k miles, original owner, kelly blue book says 7k for dealer trade in excellent condition, so im guessing he will try to give me 3k.

but i don't care, i can't be seen in that thing anymore.

i considered a CLK500, but i was tired of going to the mercedes dealer and dealing with all the room full of C-class owners/C-class people.

in the end, the very cool and innovative SMG2 tranny, free maintience 4 year /50k (merc recently cut theirs), and generally better /move alive staff/service people sold me into BMW
