New Car

[gettysburgfreak]

Just got home from purchasing my new car. Got myself a 2007 Mercedes Benz C280 4matic. It white with white tan interior and 30,500 miles. I had test drove a black 2007 BMW 328xi coupe that I absolutely loved but the dealer would not budge at all on the price and I got the feeling he was not a stand up guy so I decided to walk and take my business elsewhere. I am really happy with my car accept I wish it had a little bit more giddy up off the line. Once you get going its really smooth and quick but off the line its sluggish. The Beemer was fast as a jet and its probably for the best I didn't get it as I have a heavy foot.

Nice ride! Tint the windows and it will be really sharp!

I personally didn't think I needed a new car but my parents wanted to make sure I had a reliable ride for the 30 hour trip down to Texas from NY and that I would have something that would last me a good number of years now that I have left their roof.

White is one the best colors for that car. Good taste!

German cars are a thing that you either love or hate.
Congrats, enjoy it.

I love 'em.

Nice car! Mercedes 4matic is one of the best AWD systems out there. My mothers S-class drives better in the snow then my SUV.

My only rule, is that you should never buy a new Mercedes. Too much of a hit driving it off the lot.

My good friend is a mechanic for Benz and he says differently but it wouldn't stop me from getting one.....they are sexy

I've got a 98 E class wagon. It is huge car with a 3 liter turbo diesel. 259K Kilometers on it(about 161K miles) She happily ran at about 170 K/PH (110 mph) down to Ramstein today. MBs are generally rock solid, and actually relatively cheap for parts over here compared to the other national brands.

The only thing I disliked about the car today when I test drove it was the lack of giddy up that it had. My dad has a 2004 BMW 325xi and that baby is quick, really wish the Mercedes was similar.

My wife has one of these and absolutely loves it. She was very disappointed when I recently bought a Lexus instead of a second Benz. You made a good choice.

I second the thought of tinting the windows. It made a hell of a difference on hers. Congratulations.

Nice ride. I'll never have a Merc, or a BMW... And BMW dealers are known for the lack of budgingness
