Default Added a 997S to the garage!!

Went to the dealer looking to MAYBE order a 997S Cab. (or locate one), but saw this sweet nicely optioned coupe on the floor!! About 2 hours later we gave them the keys for the 05 E55AMG and drove away in the 997S!! Big thanks to Joe F. at Braman Porsche!! He pushed very hard to get the deal we wanted and finally gained us as Braman customers!! Dont' have the sticker in front of me (was 92K I believe), but you can see most of the options from the photos . Now its my turn to make it better









And the Pcar Garages

Life is good. That's the way to buy one. Personally I never quite understood sitting around waiting for a car to arrive when you could be just out driving. Enjoy! BTW, the red looks great against your redish tile and home

Curious what you didn't like about the E55.

Thanks guys . Its cool to wake up and decide which one to drive to work...

As far as the E55, first we really just didn't need a sedan since we have the Cayenne Turbo, and also it just wasn't running that great. A lot of wierd noises that were not present in past AMG models we had (including an 04 E55). MB seems to bring my familly bad luck every time for some reason...

MB quality and reliability has gone progressively downhill over the last decade. That's why I went from an SL to a 911.
