LOL I fail at reading the thread. However, I reiterate: Nice car

 

[BlackTigers]

You bought a Benz and take pics like that?

 

[ponyo]

So you traded one problem car for another?

Congrats! Hope the Benz treats you well.

 

[ViviTheMage]

The 740 treated me well, but had over 175,000 miles on it and was starting to fall apart a little bit. I could have pumped soem money into it and kept it going, but I'd rather have a new car

The lease on the MB is just over 3 years, so any problems will be covered by warranty and by the time the real problems start it will be time to give it up

MB did a damn fine job with the new C class. Always a head turner.

 

[ayabe]

I would consider one of those if it had more balls, a manual option, and weren't so unreliable.

I like the way they look.

 

[Kabob]

Nice car. Not much of a Mercedes guy myself and I'd never lease though.

 

[Aharami]

yea wondering why you decided to go from owning a car to leasing one

I was doing the math, and it was costing me almost about the same to buy and maintain a 2/3 yr old car on a yearly basis as it would to lease a brand new one. Only difference is I have to watch my miles.

I may be wrong, but I am going to see how it goes with this one. After 3 yrs I will re-evaluate

nice camera but not at the same level as even the C300 new.
