Default Its Official, The GS400 is Being Retired-Just Bought an AMG C32

Well the way things worked out it looks like my loan amount for my new C32 AMG will exceed the amount of the sales price plus taxes. That works out well because the GS400 is being taken over by my girlfriend and needs new front rubber and a minor ding repaired. So the GS400 is getting retired and re - tired. Ha, get it? Hope this C32 with warranty holds together as well as my GS400 did without warranty. So now its time to reduce unsprung weight by 40 lbs., get the air intake and possibly a light exhaust and surprise the C5 owners when they can't shake the 'entry level' benz sedan. Can't wait.

What do you guys think of painting the silver grill body color? Before you poo poo the idea check out how awesome the C32 looks in these pics (esp. 'side shot' pic).

Thanks guys. I'm stoked that I'll still have the spectra blue GS in the garage. I love the car and the color. Probably gets more looks than a black C32.

Don't worry, the C32 will still get looks. There's not that many of you guys out there.

Good luck and let the next round of mods begin!

Congrats Kevin! Though I was poopooing the C32 torque in your previous thread, I meant it in comparison to V-8 AMG engines. It is a nice car nonetheless. Hope you enjoy it!
