...by switching to Mercedes . I just couldnt pass up the chance to get a Benz. They have this summer event going on to get rid of some of the 06s. They pretty much bought my 06 GT for full price. Plus since i work for the Autonation group, they gave me the car at cost.

Don't keep the new car too long, maintenance costs on Mercedes are brutal.

How do you go from a Stang to a Benz? Nice car, but wtf were you doing with a Stang in the first place if you're really wanting a luxury car?

Is anyone else confused?

No, not confused here. God forbid people like different types of cars.

And are you serious jcopin? Why do you consider the little Merc "gay"?

Also moving thread to 'General Vehicle Discussion', but I'll leave a link.

BECAUSE IT IS

im entitled to my opinion just like other people ..ignornce is assuming a 3 point star emblem on the hood means its worth alot of $$$

dood ..it looks flaming like something old man harold would drive in florida on the way to the golf course ..im sorry thats MY OPINION nothing masculine about it people only allowed to bash ford here?

if it had a dodge logo on it would you have bought it?

Fair enough. I asked, you answered. Though I don't recall anyone saying the 3 Point Star equates to quality and I don't really understand the golf reference (is playing golf 'gay'?)

Thanks guys for all your comments (all ignorant comments aside) I realy do love the car. The stang and the merc are 2 completly different cars. I guess i wanted a car like this all along. Dont get me wrong, my stang was an amazing car in itself, but im realy more into the bells and whistles rather than engine size (although the C55 is an awesome car )

as far as a 3pointed star equating to quality, it realy is all in what you pay for. That and, lets face it, its a german engineerd machine. everything in this car is so presice. the fit and finish is amazing and nothing looks out of place.

I looked at the same model in RED with the same wheels. I liked the car a lot but decided against C-class even with the upgrades, but if you saved money and happy. Cheers...I thought it was about $32,000.00 for that model. Don't expect the same response as the Stang if you try to trade that one.
