And of course I live in NY where they sell these by the dozen, so I would think there is no chance.

I bought 2 Ferraris about a month ago.
They have a pretty good deal.
If you buy 2, you get a free t-shirt.
Let's go for it, guys.

Be sure to check out the G35SC Infiniti before you make your final decision. It's a hell of a car for $35K.

Please have a Mercedes-Benz Dealer Representative contact me to

I would like to set up a test drive appointment with a Mercedes-Benz
Representative.

I would like to request a brochure of the C230 Kompressor Sports Coupe.

I would like to request information about Mercedes-Benz Credit.
which one(s) do I need to pick, schedule a testdrive?

Would someone who got a tin answer this question? Thanks. :)

What would you consider a fool's price? Maybe you just can't afford an entry-level MB.

Well, just do the $75 Ford Explorer instead. They'll get down on their knees when you walk through the door, and you don't even have to test drive the vehicle! BTW, if MB is so great, why on Earth did they did they hook up with Chrysler? What's next, Hundai?

Let's see.... One company that makes excellent cars basically buys another company that makes mediocre cars and so the company that has a reputation for building excellent cars is now equated with the company that makes mediocre cars? Maybe you don't yet understand how a merger is often done for financial reasons.You have to realize that Mercedes Benz cars are not made in Detroit.

That having been said, MB has tarnished its image not by buying Chrysler but by building a "car" not worthy of the usual Mercedes standard - you can figure out which one this is (and it ain't the C230 either).

Probably because the cheap quality of mercedes cars got exponentially worse at the same time they aquired chrysler.

And for those of you looking at the C class, STAY AWAY. The C class is notoriously cheap, and the actual driving feel is utter garbage. IMO, BMW's entry level sedans are much nicer. Test drive a 330i after puttering around the C-class garbage, and you'll see what i mean.

Paperclip God....I hope you speak for only the C-Class in America, because all of the Mercedes I have driven in Europe (C-Class, E-Class, A-Class) all drive like a dream. Albeit they cost more, they drive a hella lot better :). If anyone gets the chance, compare the difference and you will be amazed.

They sent it snail-mail. It came in a little envelope printed on a fold-out card thingy...probably hoping you'll lose it. ;)
