Vehicle: 2008 Mercedes E550

[smk4565]

Here is my car, it has premium 2 package, AMG sort package, panoramic roof, designo black metallic paint and the sand color Nappa leather. I got rear wheel drive since rear drive handles better and all wheel drive E-classes prior to 2010 had the 5-speed automatic. This car is actually good in snow too, I got Blizzak tires, but I drove it every day it snowed this winter with no problems.

Nice, very nice.

I also see that COMAND wasn't invented yet in '08. Or is it in there and I just can't see (which is possible)?

It does not have COMMAND, they added that in 2009, but on the same old buttons. My car has navigation and the map and 6-disc CD, plus the single slot, so there are menus and buttons for all that stuff, but it doesn't have the clicky wheel that the S-class and C-class had in 2008. But I sort of like buttons rather than having to rotate a nob and cycle through menus to change things.

Nice ride SMK, Glad you like it.

I will probably keep it 10 years, I'd like to see how long it lasts. This model E-class is fairly cheap too they are a bit old school but they are a good deal.

You still have the Aurora?

I am guessing that's the Aurora visible in the Benz dash pic.

Nice!

Was about to ask the same thing: is that your Aurora on that pic, smk4565?

What engine does your new MB have?

No, I sold the Aurora to an acquaintance. That picture was from last September when I still had the Aurora. I always liked the Aurora, but it had 150k miles, the headliner was drooping a little, it needed a wheel, brakes, tires, check engine light was on, etc. It needed a lot, but the guy that bought it likes working on cars and planned to fix everything himself.
