My fiancée was looking at one when she was shopping for cars. Loved the sunroof and the exterior look, but neither of us felt the interior was up to par for a Benz, at least for the price they were going for at the time.

 

Niffty cars though. Time for a pulley swap. Looks like you found a rare one since it has Nav.

Yes, The leather is top quality but the trim is a bit spartan for MB. The ride quality and handling mannerisms are exceptional. And I know my German and Japanese suspensions.

 

But........for what people are asking for a 2004 Civic, with more miles, I couldn't turn this one down.

We looked before the gas crunch, so I am sure prices were different then. But luckily my fiancee is happy w/ her A4. :)
