I've owned dozens of cars, mostly Nissans, Infinitis, Cadillacs, Mazdas, and a couple BMWs. You might recognize me from CadillacOwners.com, NICOClub, or Q45.org.












I took it all over the Tampa Bay area, crossing the bay on 275, Gandy, and some other bridge. I also drove along the Gulf coast. The weather was perfect, but the car has several flaws: IC pump failing, corroded wire harness, water leak (fixed, which caused harness problem), non-functioning wipers (fixed, loose connection), non-functioning vacuum locks (related to harness issue). All of this is pretty ridiculous for an expensive car with 25,000 miles, but I have low expectations for modern-era MB so I'm not surprised.

The dead pedal is terrible -- my left leg can barely reach, but my right leg can reach the pedals just fine. I'm 5'7".

Overall I really enjoy the car! The drive home was a blast. Once the issues are fixed I might even love it. An aftermarket extended warranty was included.

You probably went by my house, lol. I live about 0.25 miles from I-275 right off 54th Ave. You must have drove down Gulf Blvd... of which has some of the best beaches in the World!
