Unhappy selling it...

hey yall. i am a frequent viewer of this forum, for about 3 years i have been in and out reading and searching.. kinda quiet, a lurker i guess...lol

after owning a c240 for almost 3 years now i have decided to finally sell in order to get something a little bigger. (gas prices though...) looking maybe a toyota 4runner or an fj cruiser.

i have loved my car to death, i kept that baby so clean. it is a 2002, but it looks like it just rolled off the lot. it drives so nice i will miss it greatly. i saved up for that car forever, when i went car shopping, for my first car mind you, i wasnt expecting to ride home in a benz but i did lol. bought it private from a guy who kept that baby pristine. after my test drive and leaving i called him within 2 minutes, told him i want it and went back with the money!

anywhoo, not that anyone cares all that much, i just thought i would write a tribute to my car for some reason. lol

much love to all you benz owners. im still in college, cant really afford another one, at least not an ML right now so ill be getting something else...but im sure ill be back soon. mercedes benz took good care of me

good luck selling


funny how when ppl say they need something bigger it always lead to SUV in the next sentence. If you want something bigger and still can haul stuff and saves gas. Passat Wagon is your friend.

I have both C230 and FJ cruiser, both are fun to drive, but FJ is a bit thirsty.

Hey surfologist....great tribute to your car, and there's at least one person on this forum (me) that "cares" about hearing about your car. It's awesome to hear how well you and the previous owner took care of your 240, and that both of you share an appreciation for the 3-Pointed Star.

Best of luck in all you do and in your search for your next vehicle !!
