Have you seen the price tag on that thing?? 
It would have been 15K more than her fully loaded special edition. Plus I never like to be, nor would I want her to be the guinea pig for the first year glitches.

What are you talking about strange move

Why must everyone in this forum be so negative? We are just young car enthusiast that wanted to share our excitement with all the other Mercedes enthusiast on this forum.

This is like saying "oh, I liked these green apples so much that I went to a grocery store and bought 10 lbs of oranges!".
A better analogy would be that I liked Dole pineapples and told her how impressed I was with the brand Dole. So then she went to the store and bought some Dole bananas.
Mmmmm…… I like Dole pinapples and bananas!

Grapes are the number 1.

And if you don't want people to be offended by your post then stop posting your negative observations.

Honestly when I first read the first post, I thought your GF bought another "C" too. Then I realized that the "BENZ" you meant was 'Mercedes BenZ' and not 'your C-class' after I read the 'ML500'. Because you said "just couldn't get enough of my BENZ", which makes me think "his benz = C-class", but if you say "just couldn't get enough of BENZ", then I would have understand it differently. I had the same thought as VADIM, 'how did your GF choose ML, when she wants more C'. But I understand now. It's just a slight of misunderstanding.
Anyway Congratz for the new car.
Btw, I thought 2005 C320 has different kit on it. Is that the Sport?

I have a '05 ML500 as an extended loaner for the time being. IMO the SUV, while having decent power seems to be quite rough in the ride quality and fit and finish seems to be lacking for a stickered $53k vehicle..Even if it was only for say $40k it would be a hard sell for me...I'm not an SUV fan to begin with so yes, you can say I have a bias....just my 2 cents....
