    Yeah, it's really sweet. If you use them right, you can basically take an average of 10% off of everything you spend. BTW, thanks for the rep!

    have they fixed all the electrical problems on the E classes yet?
    i had a e500 with airmatic for a little while and the **** thing was a hot mess. instrument cluster lights would go out and whichever cluster area went out, u couldn't use any of those buttons. **** dome lights would blink non-stop like a friggin rave.

    Hehe when I saw the email from Dell regarding this, I thought they were inviting me to a special unveiling of some new laptops! :p

    I like some of the deals they've got on there, like the 10% at Target.

    I wonder if this is the compensation for the GPU failures?

    Not sure, I haven't gotten either yet! :p

    I'm more of a BMW guy anyhow. The closest I've come to getting a Mercedes was when I was looking at a Jeep with a Mercedes diesel engine. :p

    lol i thought u were really lookin into buyin an E-class. don't get me wrong...it is a very nice car. i had a e500 with sports package (AMG kit and interior upgrades). i had 20" rims and dropped the car with the OEM airmatic via washer mods. i really enjoyed the car, especially how it rode just like stock after droppin it 2-3".

    i THINK they resolved all the electrical issues on the 2005+ models.

    Electronics >> Electronics

    I'd say that isn't the right category for them to put it in, it looks like things can be in multiple categories so its ok.
