a mercedes is a mercedes, plain and simple. people buy them cause of there looks and to tell everyone they have a mercedes. Besides some c classes are pimp looking, you can deck them out and make them nice. I will tell you what, a c class could smoke the *** out of you any day. just cause it is a c class doesnt make it bad, I would get one if they didnt suck on mechanical ****. thats the only reason why I would never buy one. I have driven pretty much every mercedes they have and IMO the best one is a SL 500 or SL 55. E classes are nice, but priced too high for there features.

First off, I didn't have the option of auto / manual. I wasn't in his position.

Second, I'm not a ricer, I probably know a lot more about cars than you do.

Third, Automatics are gay if you're going to get a $37,000 car. Especially if he got the g35.

Fourth, g35's are less expensive than the c240....and a hell of a lot nicer.

Um, I work at mercedes benz. I guarentee you I know alot more about mercedes then you. Yes e classes are nice, but way overpriced. Just like the 04 SL 500, very nice, sporty looking, but yet overpriced. you are basically paying for the name. Besides as many problems as those cars have, they should be priced lower.

Now some BMW's have more features then the e class, yet are priced less then the e class. And they even look better.

I drive benzs everyday man, they are great looking cars, fast as hell, but again too overpriced in my opinion. ALot of cars are too overpriced these days.

I didn't say you were a ricer, i said that just saying out of no where that autos are gay was a s tupid thing to say. Especially, for a luxary car. Of Course if ur getting a sports car, ud want a manual, but if ur going luxary, theres really no point. And i never said i knew more about cars then you or you know more then me... so i dont know where u got that from. and what does "ricer" have to do with knowing about cars, its an attitude just like the one u imposed with ur stupid statements. Plus if autos are so gay, i guess u could have used the money u paid for the turbo to convert to manual... but instead u wanted to have a gay AUTO turbo.

whatever you want to think, i dont care anymore. I didnt convert to manual because then I'd have spent $1700 and still have a slow civic. I thought it was wiser to put a turbo on and at least have a semi-quick civic.

Want to race?

IMO, Mercedes reliability has really gone down hill over the last few years. I'd look into something else.

I said this once, and Ill say it again. If you are going for that luxury look, and still want reliability, fair repair costs, and not scarifice performance, go with the Lexus GS400.

Sigh...I was also considering the cheapest c240 as well...you guys really turn off my thought, I am so scared of unreliable expensive car...I would be owned if I pay 35k and not getting a car that is unbreakable for 10 years
