thankfully got a newer (5,700 miles) Transit. They drive so much nicer than the old E series of Chevy cargo vans. really like a big smooth car, and not a bouncy truck. Too bad it obviously had smokers in it. Yucky but will roll the windows down to blow it out.
my first drive more than about 5 miles from my house in almost 2 months. Can't wait!
even filled up the RDX with gas for the first time since we bought it (and it still had 1/3 of a tank left). Also getting it's "maiden voyage" since until now, the longest trip was the roughly 8 mile trip home from the dealer. Will be good to stretch it's legs!

was making lunch, and this guy just walked around from behind the fence, through where the gate normally would be, and just wandered across my back yard. I expect a herd of deer soon (there is a deer superhighway just into the woods behind me)

Regarding the camera, now that I think of it, I remember the discussion. I still think you should seek out a good indy shop, and have them retrofit an upgraded COMAND with factory camera. It might cost more than an aftermarket one, but I bet it will work better, and I think will include other functionality.
MBs of the past decade have been a lot less troublesome than of the decade prior. None of them really scare me.
The thing is though, in Florida it is probably hard to find dealers who don't play these games.

That sports cars are bought without proper thought put into it, or that this car is a lemon?

Given the revenue downturn, money is needed no doubt. It all helps.

I told my wife that this is it, I am done moving. way too close to 60 to be doing this nonsense. Thankfully by the time we go up to Albany to see our son and his new house, he will have already gotten friends to move his stuff. I will just be doing handyman stuff, not heavy lifting. so after these moves, they are on their own. Happy to drive the truck, as long as young friends of theirs do all the carrying!

if we finally get out of our big house, definitely hiring movers, but not sure if getting packers in will fly with the boss. I don't mind that part really. just pack the boxes and leave them in place.

I clicked on an ad today featuring Palm Beach area properties at "too good to be true" prices. A 1,400 square foot townhouse for $20k and a 2,200 square foot house for $100k. Townhouse requires that you pay the HOA an initiation fee of $9,000 (non-refundable), plus a buy-in of $65k (refundable when you sell), and the dues were around $800 a month, which is higher than my mortgage payment. So you're essentially paying $94k for the privilege of renting a townhouse for $800 per month. The deal with the house appeared to be similar.
But, glad to know the 2014 should be a good reliable year. We had a 1999 C230.......our first Mercedes. We had a 1995 Volvo, Mrs D100 was getting it repaired for the 20th time under warranty.....and she walked across to the Mercedes dealer and took a test drive. She came home and said she wanted the Mercedes, even if we could only afford a used one. Fortunately, the 99 C230 came out at a much lower price point for Mercedes.....so we bought a new one. Loved that car with it's Kompressor. What a change from the constantly breaking down Volvo.

When you come up to see your son you can borrow my cargo van to do any moving duties.

thankfully the son has a lot of friends with muscles. He plans to have all the big stuff moved before we get up there. fine by me! We are planning to help decorate and do little projects. More our speed. Mostly our daughter doing all the decorating for him.

MBFS will pick up the first payment up to a maximum of $500.
First payment can be delayed for 90 days - which means the loan on the car is actually 39 months at 0% interest.
In all the years I've been buying Mercedes Benz cars, I never remember them offering such tremendous incentives. My out-the-door cost is $68,365 for a $74,400 MSRP E450W4 (includes sales tax, DMV registration, fees, etc.). Remember, sales tax alone is almost $4000. I am a very happy camper.🤙😋

C230 would have been the low 30s then I suppose. I think they were much easier to live with than the C-class that replaced it, those seemed to be prone to issues and quirks.
I wonder how people who bought time shares are doing if it is their vacation time right now?

It is a great deal...they made you a deal you couldn't say no to.
Congratulations....sounds like a beautiful car, and a remarkable price.

It would probably cost me less, to get a solar powered camera that fits on the license frame, and that needs no wiring to send a picture to a cell phone, that you place on the console...and then you have a back up camera with no wires. But, my cell phone is just a phone, so can't get data. Once again, more trouble than it is worth....so I just have to be extra careful when backing up, and do it the old fashioned way.

They explained that half the owners had been foreclosed upon and the HOA had no money to do repairs so the cheaper unit had a hole in the ceiling.

I can’t imagine the average Joe Schmoe getting all that trunk money.
