White '03 C240
Salutations
I am new to both this forum and the community of Benz owners, so I thought I would introduce myself and say hello. I purchased my first Mercedes Baby just last night, though I have been lurking this forum for awhile while I made the decision to buy.
I ended up with a white, 2003 C240 from a local dealership. I saw it online, fell in love and scheduled the test drive. I looked at some other cars but couldn't stop thinking about it. My girlfriend and I decided we are young and able to afford it, so we bought it just last night after about a week and a half of negotiation. I have about 50 miles under my belt, and I am beyond in love with this car.
Thanks for listening to me, and hopefully I will stick around for awhile.

Welcome to the forum.
And be careful about drexappeal. Listen to him. Otherwise he might bring you popcorn and drinks while he makes you sit down in his THX video room to watch the world famous MBWorld movie.

Thank you, one and all for your welcome.
As for the search function, I have learned from the idiocy of others, on other forums, that nothing pisses the regulars off more then three things. Trolling, not reading the responses you are given fully before assuming your question was ignored, and having to read the same topic countless times from countless teams.

I'll have to find the digital camera battery charger before I can get pics, we just moved and can barely keep track of the cat, let alone important things. 
As for mods, my girlfriend insists we make the first payment before I go 'tricking it out' as she says. I want some deep dish rims, tinted windows, xenons and the light up door sills for sure. Beyond that I have given no thought.
And yes, Rev, I am a male. 26 and from Minnesota, should you wonder at all.
Thanks for the welcome, all.

Congrats and welcome! There are a lot of knowledgable members on here. You'll be learning a lot from them.So, your girlfriend AND you bought this car, huh? Hopefully, it's not going to be one of those, what hers is hers and what's yours is hers.
There must be some wedding bells in the near future to be investing in a car purchase together.
