Default Sold My Z after 10 years.....

The decision came rather suddenly, but I traded my 03 Touring for a 2009 350 SLK. It was a great 10 year run but I was getting an itch for something different. I was an original pre order buyer receiving my Z the first week it was introduced in September of 2002. It was the 998th Z built and had 35000 miles when I traded it in. Thanks to all in the Z community for all the great advice and knowledge shared over the years..... .....enjoy your Z!

Your Z must've cost quite a few pennies back in 02. Congrats on the new ride.

Wow, and wouldn't that be a good find for whomever ends up buying it!!! Enjoy the Merc. Nice to see you've stayed with a 350, even if it is a different brand.

They were much the same price as a new 370 is now. May have been a slight premium with the pre-orders though. VIN on mine isn't terribly far behind that.

That Z still looks like it just came off the showroom floor in that pic! I must agree unfortunately, not a fan of the merc.

No offense but I would have kept the Z, it probably will give you no problems as to where a used Mercedes is a ticking time bomb

Best of luck with your car though, the new owner will be getting a very low mileage Z!

But if you needed a change, then so be it. Good luck with the SLK and to who ever buys the Z!
