Are you talking about a Lexus? I dont really like lexus so much. Plus, I really like the wood trim on the upper dash. That is my favorite part of the c230. Then the supercharger. :)

In terms of reliability why not go for a 2001 es300 or 2002 es300 with 70-80k miles. Super reliable.

You've got to be joking about the Lexus, I can't think of many cars that have less soul. By the way, Lexus does not even rank in the top ten on the TÜF report, while MB is number 1. In my opinion, that is the absolute most reliable source for automotive information, not only because it is the toughtest automotive examination, but the cars there are very well maintained and driven hard (so that failures are most likely to be manufacturing defects and not a result of owner negligence), and the severity of the failures are taken into consideration (so that an electric headrest not working is not counted as a defect along the lines of a transmission or engine failure).
