My current Benze is presently being straightened out and beutified, soon to be sold. I'm going to be replacing it with a bit bigger Benz.

I've been looking at Benz's too. I'm thinking about a 07 C230 as a DD.

I can afford much newer Benzs then I'm looking at, and honnestly I'd much rather have an old one, especialy as a DD. With an 07 I'm sure you get a warranty, but you're still Ohne Benz for x weeks a year while they fix whatever is wrong with it. Untill they convince me that they're back to over-engineering, I'd avoid any benz made after 93 (unless you've got money enough not to care). They changed their philosphy 'round then and have gone from producing the worlds best reviewed and most reliable cars to literaly being among the worst in both categories. Their current customer service reputation sucks ass, too.

This 500E is a prime example. Each took 18 days to build, and were hand assembled, partially by Mercedes, and then Porsche.

Dont get a C230, get a 190E 2.3 16v Cosworth, you'll love it to death:

love it

I have a co-worker with a c230, it was in the shop at least once a month. He finally swapped it for a Jeep... yes a jeep.

See, post-1993 benzes FTL. :(

My 190E has 240k on the clock and has only cost me an alternator in the last year. :cool:

 

Those 500Es are hand built (accept for some of the welding).

WTF!! By that damn cosworth 2.3ltr...F- THAT E500!

I own the Cossie already. :p Wanna buy it?

And its a 500E, not an E500, there's a very sustantial difference. For instance, one runs for more then 2 months at a time. ;)

waddabout M5s, while I'm on the subject of big powerful saloons?
