By the way- I finally got back my S. I’ll probably keep it until the new S-Class comes out, or when the refreshed 745Li arrives.
If true (i.e, that Shell offers this) that using the 93 octane would be beneficial for the engine? I'm not concerned about MPG or cost, but merely what is best to use...
You may say that then Mercedes would be ridicoulously expensive. A 7-speed, and the 350 engine would make the car similar to the current S430 performance wise and could be cheaper by maybe 5k. 500 could drop in pirce as well or pump up in number of features. Would be strange to keep around the 430 just for one car. Not really smart considering cost.

Sounds like a really good deal. Good luck.
I am not going to get an S class, I'm just passing on this good deal!

I seem to remember that the French police estimated that it entered the overpass tunnel at approximately 70mph - 75mph. It actually crashed into the wall a short distance after entry considering the entry speed.
sorry, but I am too happy at the news.

they look awfully similar to the pictures that autospies had.

they claimed that they saw the car in person and had several photos.
i hope that autospies isn't correct, because that car looks just the same as the current S-Class!

my parents, and my best friend's house (known him since we were less than 1 year old)caught on fire during the fire-storm we had here in San Diego about 2 weeks ago. burn't to the ground. my parents forunately, recovered some valuable and personal belongings (including their wedding ring and pictures of their children (and me) when we were young. although they were reconsidering about rebuilding their house, i have decided that they should just move into ours. what a shame.
unfortunately, not the same to my friends house (Jason). he lost absolutely everything, including his beloved, recently-fully-restored Mini Cooper from '67, i believe. saw pictures of the car, and his now burnt lot. it is really emotional to see.
well, my a highly special object that my parents lost during the fire was their cherished '85 Mercedes 500SL. beautiful, in perfect condition.
i have determined to replace their MB with a new SL500.
as for Jason, he lost EVERYTHING except for his family (they are safe), and clothing. they had no time to retrieve anything as they were evacuated early in the morning.
some close buddies have decided to pitch in a purchase a new 2004 Mini Cooper for him. Red in color, just like his old one.
well, on the brighter side, our S430 is doing fine, although it seems to have a brain of it's own: the seat mysteriously adjusts itself by it self; when I leave in the day before, and come in the next day in the morning in the garage; either the headrest is fully up or the seat is all the way to the front. i don't understand this because i thought that the seat's don't have power if the ignition is out, and no one enters the garage at night... who knows- i hope one day, i don't find out that the car backed itself out of the garage one day!
as for the SL; she's a beauty!

Products. (www.PerformanceProducts.com)
Fax: 1-800-752-6196. Phone for Catalog:
1-800-752-6056. Address: Performance Products,
PO Box 7257, Van Nuys, CA 92409-7257.
They have an 84 page catalog that offers every
thing you would want for a Mercedes.
Where do you live?. In Los Angeles you should be able to get an 04 from 500-1000 over invoice, and an 03 (if you can find one ) for 2000-3000 under invoice. Let me know if you need more help.
The car should invoice for about $86,700 and then there is 4,000 in dealer cash and about 2,700 in hold back. The dealer is in this car for about $80,000. The 04's are out. I would offer about 82,700 and go as high as $83,700, then walk. You should be able to buy the same car as a 04 for about $88,000 and it will be worth atleast 5,000 more wholesale trade in three years from now. Good luck, and enjoy your new S. It is a great car.

Thank you.
It also has a new set of Bridgestone Potenza S-3's. Any idea as to what I should be willing to take if I sold it outright or took it to a dealer for trade?
Thanks, Ed
Good luck!
