Thumbs up Getting new car, what should I get?

hey ,
I'm in a little delima. I have a brand new (ie. 2500 miles) C230 Coupe. But I have had a recent job premotion and the boss is now giving me $750 a month for car payment and he picks up the insurance to boot. Here the problem, It has to be a Mercedes, and I have to order or take delivery of it with 2 weeks. What should i get.

Heres a list of what I do and what I want.
1 Must be "sporty" to an extent
2 Needs to be able to hold 2 golf bags, and "1" passenger
3 I would like an AMG "massaged" car
4 A coupe is awesome
5 A fast car, well not as in, beat a viper fast, but you know what i mean.
6 And a used own is ok with boss, only if it is Starmark Certified.

Thanks for all your thoughts in advance

I went to mbusa.com. It looks like your payment is $718 for 36 months. Would you sell your car for the $32 difference? OR would your boss be willing to pay your current MB payment?

My boss already pays my car payment and its only $578 a month. No I work for and Independent Insurance agency in NC.Also I can add money to it. For example if the car i want costs $800 a month I can pay the extra 50. But i prefer not to do that.

Owning. The reason my payment is low now is becaus e of the down payment that was made. I'm leaning toward a nice used CLK 55.

That is a very good direction in which to lean. My dealer had a black one a while back, but I don't know if they still have it. The had an S55, the CLk55 and an SLK32 all black side by side in the show room.

www.mbcc.com has a nice "what can I afford" calculator for all new MB models...
