This may help..........large sample data, not just their individual opinion.

I'm keeping mine until I hit 200k miles, or if the repairs become unbearable... whatever comes first.

Right now I have 49k on my '08 C300.

2018 E300 4MATIC Sedan
I bought my 2008 c350 as a CPO in 2009, so the standard warranty will be up in 2012 and the CPO in 2013.

I am really happy with this car, but I have a feeling that when my wife and I have another child I will be looking for something bigger.

I test drove the E class and S class during Thanksgiving break last year and I'm pretty sure my next car will be a CPO s550. I was unimpressed with the E class ( due to the fact that it has the same engine as my car yet it was noticeably slower due to the fact that the e350 I drove was 4matic. ).

So, I will probably trade my car in sometime next year. I just don't see two baby seats in the rear of the C leaving a lot of room for the front passengers.

I trade in my cars every 14 000kms. So i change twice a year. The perks of having your wife work for MB Canada.
