What do you guys think

I am trading in the Benz for a new family wagon. I have decided since children are soon I have to get a car or truck that will fit both the needs of a winter vehicle and a family truck. The rear wheel drive Benz does not do it. I always have to have a winter car as well, (Which is right now a leased 2006 galant). I want one car for both seasons. The Benz is completely paid off so the trade in is all toward the new car. they are going to give me 30,000 to 29500 for the Benz without the 19 inch rims. I will sell indepedently later.

The New Car Is

Land Rover's New LR2

One with 4 wheels
Um, am I the only one that doesn't think the LR2 is cool? I think it's fugly. There's only one decent Land Rover. And it's not the Range Rover either. Defender, or bust.

And I'm a little confused. Why not keep the Benz, and get rid of the Galant? As for the family wagon, why not get a Volvo V70R? And since when can Benz's not work in the winter? If anything trade it for a 4Matic if you need 4WD.

Just my $0.02.

i just sold my 05 c230 to a dealer (not MB) for 31k CDN. i had 16k KM on it which is about 13k Miles. i also had 18" AMG rims + many more mods on it (clean). the MB dealer offered me 34k if i traded it in for a new C55 but i found a used one. i had a few private deals where i could have sold it for 34k-39k but they never fell though. i had enough so i sold it for 31k. it cost me 60k CND after taxes and financing.

i think you're getting a steal! these cars do not hold it's value at all. lesson learnt.
