since i ordered the car from the factory, I couldn't bargain. the dealer gave me 3% off. the car costs $44k before tax and license.

for me the choice was easy. I had been driving the bmw for 5 years, so I didn't want to get the same car again. audi is a nice car but it doesn't retain its value as well as a mercedes, so I went with the mercedes

i don't know if it's because the C320wz is brand new or what but it doesn't seem to have the power of my old 328i. It's noisier too but maybe MB did that intentionally on the sports sedan model.

the 6-speed trans on the C320wz is a whole lot better than the 5-speed trans on my 99 328i. but I haven't test driven the 2005 330i, so I don't know how they would compare.

i'm very happy with the new car. I know I made the right choice. Thanks.

it's so cool looking but i got to read the manual to learn how to use it. the salesguy wanted to show me how to use it but i wanted to get out of the dealer asap to drive the car.

right now, i know if i press the eject button, the comand face would fold to expose a slot for the dvd disc and a slot for the audio cd disc

You could have gottan an E class for that price. If you like it, then that's all that matters.

ah but i'm the sort of person that likes to row the gears. i believe in europe, you can buy a E200 kompressor with 6-speed manual but that model is not available for sale in the US.

So, I'm only interested in the C-class

Still say you shoulda gone for the Euro delivery...
they give you 7% off, include the shipment, and for like a grand
(which is less than the money saved) they have a preplanned tour of Germany with 1st class hotels for 2, and the whole thing pays for itself with the discount...
check mbusa and you'll be crying in your Bier. I was.
Now, aside from that....cool you got the car. Finally!
Congrats!
