How have you found the reliability of the 435i? Anything to watch out for? They are a hardtop vert aren't they?

[Ribfeast]

Pretty awesome!

Used to have No Hoes as my plates for a while, surprised that didn't get reported

I thought the same with my CLK, then I drove a rental VW Golf, and not even one of the fast models. DSG, decent brakes, and wicked handling. Probably half a ton lighter though.

Man that is tidy, would love that as a daily, but it would be a waste of such a fine vehicle. Good luck with the sale

SLK55?

[Ribfeast]

Very!! Such a grenade but it would be glorious while functional!

[Ribfeast]

Wow never heard of a Toyota Blade. 3.5L Aurion motor in a Corolla, what's not to like!

[Ribfeast]

Yeah there's a 2010 model for the high 20's that I've had my eye on for a long time....
