Farewell

Guys, it's been real...

This is my last night as a C-Class owner...jumping off to a 2011 E350 4M.

Even though I'll still be around the C forums just wanted to say thanks for the great tips and information, for the arguments, the laughter and the great conversation...

Congrats on the upgrade. Once you have her for a while, post a thread comparing living with the C vs E.

The new E is a pretty slick whip. You'll love her.

What did you pay for the new E350? I am looking to possibly getting one also moving from the C to the E class.

thanks for the warm wishes everyone - really appreciate it!

just brought her home and absolutely love her...i have to say, i miss my c - there was something about that car that fit me perfectly. was def sad when i drove to lunch today as that was my last trip.

in a year and a half, i put 33,437 miles on the car (both on the track and on the street) and never had it in service for anything other than maintenance and brakes...a true testament to the build quality of the car.

will post pics as soon as i have a chance and will be more than happy to write a thorough comparison on the vehicle for you all.

as to pricing, won't divulge monthly payment or cap cost reduction from the dealer...a gentleman's agreement is a gentleman's agreement. sorry - it's just a matter of principle for me. go out there and fight the fight yourself! that's what makes life fun
