Two to three months until it comes.
Silver metallic with Brown Interior and all the bells and whistles.
The SLK 55 was no fun to drive. The S5 was a blast.

Maybe because he never had an slk55?? [confused] Didn't that car just come out recently at the end of 2005 beginning of 2006? And which dealer would take in a car and give the customer equity?? or do an even trade? Sounds like bs to me. Signs up for az just to state he gave away his slk55 for an s5. So basically he gave away his slk55 (63k starting without options), and is without a car right now. If it's true, sounds like a waste to me. But that's just my opinion.

Maybe he can afford to take that hit? and I seriously doubt he is without a car right now.
Congrats on the new purchase!!!!

I had the SLK 55 AMG for 7 months - it was a 2007, bought at Mercedes of Annapolis. Since I have some antique convertibles (73 stag, 72 thing [at the beach] and 64 deville) I wasn't using the convertible feature, and I found ithe SLK 55 without a true stick to be sluggish.
That being said, why would anyone believe that someone would say they bought a car if they didn't. Life is too short for that crap. I drove the S5, like it, and bought it.
If any of the "doubters" knew what oneandtwenty was, they would probably know, that losing 14K on a short term flip would not cause a change in lifestyle.
Grow up.

take a DEEP BREATH, hold it, hold it, now let it out. You seem pretty pissed off because I doubted you [=(]. LOL, maybe you still have some growing up to do. Don't get so worked up over the internet. Life is too short, don't get an aneurysm. Maybe you need some extra BZDs, BBs, and ace-i. [az]

The guy's id on audizine.
Hey the SLK55 came last on a recent review of a bunch of cars in UK. R8 took the first place and the SLK55 was considered by all journalists the worst car in the comparo. No wonder why people are getting rid of it.

when hedge funds started, the typical fee structure was one percent of assets and 20 percents of profits
when I was running a fund in 1998, I started using that handle
as the business has matured, the successful funds have been able to get 2 and 25 - that is good business

Its because of those funds that there have been artificail movements in the market and the down fall of some oil stocks a few years back. I'm not against them by any means as I have a lot of friends who are PMs.
Like the name though! Those were the good old days when funds only dealt with a texas million.
I'm waiting to put an order for the RS5

hedge funds typically have a shorter investment 'focal length' than traditional investors - if anything, they make the markets more efficient, although if one has a longer time horizon, they can buy when the fast money is selling and make money for the long term
at the end of the day, the only difference between a mutual fund and a hedge fund is a payment mechanism. if there is not sufficient alpha, the hedge fund loses its assets and does so quickly

hedge funds serve an important role in the correction of the market
