N000bie here
Picked up an 06 C230 about 2 months ago. I'm a basic guy so I needed a basic car: 6 speed, diamond black metalic (which looks more like blue or purple), black leather, sunroof. That's it. And altho I always hated mercedes (old man's car) this thing is really growing on me. Ok - maybe it doen't handle like my old E36 but it has a very smooth ride and is deceptively fast.
I'll be back with various questions that some smart azz is bound to tell me to use the search button.

Yep. She's married, has 12 kids, knocked kneed, crosseyed and is rather heavy (we haven't seen her ankles since she was 9). Still want pics?

The rack and pinion always made noise on mine too! Another one of those common problems. Nope, can't buy it bro. I would consider it if I had more time and more money to invest (cuz then I'd slap on a KL-ZE and turbo charge that thing.) and make it a weekend driver. For now, all my energy is going into by 230K.
Awesome that you have the mx6 though! I really loved that car a lot, but had to let it go.
