Oh.Sorry. That's why it's good to buy the car 'used' especially for the luxuries car.
You get your dream car and you don't have to pay heavy.

no problem zeq, I know it was dumb  But I think it was worth it! The S600 W140's are the BEST! They are really really nice. 
You are exactly right. Buying used is smart.
I bought my 96 S500 used. It is a good car. |

I dunno. I kinda forgot. In the end though, when they took the car away, the car lost about $40,000 USD. in only 6 months with about 2,000 miles on it.  |

I dunno about that either. I went to my local dealer, and saw 2 sitting in the showroom. No one bought them yet, one silver, one black. And in Southern California, there are A LOT of rich people, AND, my local dealer is one of the biggest in the United States, so I guess everyone who wanted to buy one, already did. I don't know the number of that either, but believe it or not, there is a decent amount of them.  |

Paris Hilton drive one i think. I saw in some website.I havent seen any SLR over here yet.
I wouldn't want one though. Even if i won a SLR at the lottery or something. I would sell it and buy something like BMW 7 or something..
These exotics cars are not kind of cars for me.

We finally got the new W221 here I saw one at the local dealership, I think they look good in the flesh. Someone must be buying it not bad for a city of 120k. |
