They are much more more fun with 280+ RWKWCorrect! they key is not going being half arsed about things its an expensive car, do your research and everything will be sweet. Most warranty type issues you will have wont be mod related, just little things - usually electrics and other silly things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mate I just went and stayed with some disgustingly wealthy friends. got to drive a Audi R8, Merc SC500, Z4 Beemer, Porsch Boxster and the latest V8 Jag amongst a few others. It opened my eyes up as to what real cars are. Trouble is that now, even for all it's mods my Phoon feels like a POS. When you get to Europe, go to Germany and rent some nice beast and hit the autobahns. I'm going back mid May and that's exactly what I'm gonna do.

Some awesome cars you managed to test out there!A mate of mine works in sales for Mercedes Benz, he bought an E55 AMG over to my place the other day, I answered the door and a set of keys suddenly hit me in the chest and I hear "lets go ccunt." My jaw dropped to the ground! So I went and picked up my old man and went for a hoot. WHAT A CAR!They really are about 100 times anything a Ford could ever be.

turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 8m 2d Gender: Male Posted 23/03/08 01:54 AM Share Posted 23/03/08 01:54 AM I tested some E and S series Mercedes a couple of months ago. I certainly couldn't justify the 150 -200+K price tags, eapecially when you consider that these BMWs and Mercs are just the Commodes and Fords of Europe. When you look at how much the Yanks pay for these cars you wonder why they are so expensive here. All the young blokes drive these cars in the US as they are so cheap secondhand.Everytime I look at a 5 or 10 year old Merc or BMW, its just another old and dated car to me that someone paid mega dollars to buy new.
