I am driving a C300 loaner....no where near my E but defintely a step up from an Accord or a Camry. I would opt for the 350 as the 300 is a bit underpowered.

 

After a day of driving, I like this car. However the problem I have is that I would have to pay Mercedes maintanance and this car does not merit $150 oil changes.

I would opt for the G37 sedan over this car.

 

hey .

I called over the weekend to my local dealer(s).
Both dealers told me that there was an extra 2k discount in july. The best deal i was able to negotiate was 38,700 (base e350, blk/blk, ipod, sport 17amg wheels)
Not a bad deal considering that whoever buys it can drive it for sometime , sell it and still kinda make some money on it, possibly.

So i pulled a trigger and picked up an 09 C300 !!!
Just got her tinted today and really happy. Got a killer deal on her as well.
So she will now be my new dd.
oh that link you provided me was great, thanks again

 

Yes, definitely a little underpowered compared to your GT30 monster!!!!!
I wish i were in Texas so i could get a ride in that thing.
After driving the c300 for a couple days (175 miles later). I think for Los Angeles driving, its not too bad. Considering that traffic starts at 630am-930am. Then from 12-2pm (lunch), then 3-730pm. So pretty much all day is traffic in areas i work and play

 

Congrats, Jorge. They make great dd's, no doubt. The 7 speed auto tranny is hands down the best auto I have ever driven. Since maintenance costs are my only beef, and that can be overcome w/ a "killer deal," do you mind if I ask what you paid?
