tpenziner Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Happy & Sad day, I decided the Shelby wasn't a good car for me, although it fun and fast, I decided to trade her in for a new Mercedes - If anyone's looking for take off's, I have them listed in the classified section. Thank you to all those on the forum that helped me along the way w/ questions. I know I wasn't a big talker, but always enjoyed reading post on a daily routine.

tpenziner Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Congrats on getting a car that you feel better suited for. Let's see a Pic of the new car. 2011' E550 4-MATIC, it has a 382-hp "5.5-liter V8", I just couldn’t justify spending another $30k on the E63 AMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpenziner Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Sweet looking classy car !!!!! Thank you GRABBER, I wanted a car I could drive year around and I really missed having a luxury car... The Shelby was awesome, loved it, but this drives like a dream and is also very fast! I love the paddle shifting! They did a good job w/ the redesign of the E class. Edited October 24, 2010 by tpenziner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I traded it in, they gave me $50k toward the EClass, sticker was $73.800 on the 11' Eclass, I handed over the Shelby plus $15k "out the door w/ sales tax & all fees". Considering I paid $51700 for the Shelby, that was'nt a bad loss. Edited October 25, 2010 by tpenziner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BDrool Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I think it's great that everyone has been positive here. When I first opened this thread, I thought the hammering was going to start like I've seen before, especially on other forums. So, as long as you're happy, you have that right.

I sold my '10 for $45,000 I also got sick of the two car setup. Loved the Shelby, but went awd too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
