I copped the C350 but I thought about copping the CLS 550 which was still reasonable but really liked the C350 body style and I had to buy something asap. I will probably upgrade in a year or two. I definitely didnt get it to stunt just to say I had a benz and I dont really care what other people think because Im to old for that and am married so not trying to use it to pull anything.
I will say that I wouldnt recommend coping a luxury whip cause your maintenance costs are no joke. I just spent $1500 for regular service and transmission and brake fluid change. Nothing was even wrong with the car.:x
I guess I could of probably done it cheaper at an independent shop but I dont want any issues if I need something repaired under warranty.
