I believe that after about 5-6 years and 75k+ miles, a totaled C-class might fit into his budget. But then he'd blow the rest of his wad on a used fridge, steering wheel, updated mirrors and tail lights, and a bevy of other stuff before doing the repairs. But at least it would look good backed into his garage. Unfortunately the back seat wouldn't be nearly as comfortable as the Smerc for sleeping when his wife boots him out of the house.

I think it's one of the worst looking cars in MB history, especially the face-lifted car. It was a major step backwards from the previous 2 generations. And the interior looks like it belongs in a mid 2000's Honda Accord. Vinyl interior in a $60k+ mid level luxury car? Egads! Even the CLA is a much more attractive car. Fortunately MB has righted that ship with the 2017 model.

I found that with most new MB... the interior is full of cheap looking plastic. My 2013 ML350 does not feel like a luxury SUV inside. My BMW X5M was much nicer, but it did have extended leather package, which covered everything you touched in leather.

Apparently the W214 E's mid cycle facelift was the most comprehensive, most expensive refresh in MB history. They knew they had a turd on their hands. Sales were terrible.
