No more C class for me.

After 4 years with my C320, I have moved on. It has always been a great car with only a few minor issues. My experience with the W203 has been positive.

My goal has always been to move on from this car after 4 years because I did not want to own the car out of warranty. I debated getting a C350, but I did not like the idea of a brand new model coming out within months of my purchase. I also don't like to buy cars in their first model year, so that means I would have had to keep the C320 at least another year. So I decided on the E350. I've had the car for a few weeks now, and so far I really like it. I dropped off the C320 today, and said my last good-bye to it.

Yup, it's my fourth MB.

I will post some pics in the W211 forum, however I refuse to take any pictures until I have the time to detail her (using Zaino products of course).

My first MB was a 76 230.4 which I bought in 1986 (in Germany). My next MB was a 1986 190E which I bought in 1988 (also in Germany). I didn't buy another one until the C320 in December of 2001.

Sorry to see the C320 go. It always looked sharp. I guess you'll want to valet park at the golf course, now. :p

2005 C Wagon (No snickering please!)
I'd be interested to hear if you are as happy with the E as you were with the C. I am looking for a new Benz.

I had my first mod done 3 weeks ago. A college kid driving w/o his glasses, yakking on the phone T-boned my wagon and totaled his Accord! I can understand why he crashed, he learned to drive on a moped in Malaysia, and had been licensed in California for 3 months!

You can't buy a new C class wagon in the US, so I am considering the E.

So far I like it! But of course, everyone likes their car when it's new! My only complaint (minor) so far is that it doesn't have a padded center arm rest. I got used to resting my arm on this as I drove in the C.

Sorry to hear about the wagon.

Not yet. I need a day with nice weather where I can get out and detail the car (with Zaino of course ). I'm hoping over the holidays I can get this done. Then I will take some pics.

Yesterday (Sunday) was actually a perfect day, but I opted to play a round of golf with MB-BOB instead.

And a fine round of golf you played, too.

In general, your worst day on the golf course beats any other best day you can think of.
