2010 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Able to get 2500 under invoice which I can never get for for BMW.

5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 sticker $56k plus options
2008 4dr Sedan 382-horsepower 5.5L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 More than most peoples house note, but, you get what you pay for and it is a Mercedes.
2007 4dr Sedan 507-horsepower 6.2L V8
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 It is a $100,000 car. It is expensive, and it is expensive to maintain. This is easily a $150,000 investment over 3 years.
2007 4dr Sedan 268-horsepower 3.5L V6
7-speed shiftable automatic RWD		 Much higher price than competators.

2008 2dr Hatch turbocharged 227hp 2.5L I5
