Thinking about the new C.350
i drove the c350 as a loaner from the dealer already.... not a fan of the rear end. i love the front of it. ionno... i wouldn't mind rockin it. i'd rather stick w/ the bmw tho.
althought the new c-class look is really sleek and sporty, i'm still not convinced. if you want it, know that it is purely for aesthetics and straight line speed, something a lot of cars can accomplish. my parents have an E500. it is a boat, boring to drive, and it has given them nothing but problems. Brake issues, no throttle response (tuned for old folks). go with bmw, but they are pricey.
i just saw an 05 S4 avant with 60k miles for $21k on CL. get that.

Mercedes makes a great car...a little too classy for me though. I don't have a collection of leather bound books at home, and my apartment does not smell of rich mahogany. What I am trying to say, it people don't know me.

Honestly, Michael don't buy a Mercedes, they are crap. I had a 2004 G500 and the engine threw the main bearing at 2.5k miles during break in. I got my money back for it being a lemon.
Mercedes doesn't use new engines in any of their cars since 2004 due to project green Earth. All their cars come with remanufactured engines these days. My G500 was in the shop every other week for some bs.
My 2 cents.
