Congratulations of the buy. I too, bought my C300 Sport from FJ and the experience was very good. I leased the car on th MBZ deal of 349 per month + tax. So I am driving a very nice MBZ for less that $400/mo, I inquired about the C350 lease and it was substainally more expensive ( not on the MBZ promotion), Only put a sprint booster on it and I drive around town in 4th in "s" mode and it has plenty of power for me ( past car was a C4S Porsche) and rides very good ( not like a rock, like the Porsche). I also purchased the A and B service deal for $750 which covers all maintenece (10K,20K and 30K check ups. not brakes or tires etc)good at any MBZ dealership.

Also, is it worth to buy extended warranty, 1, 2 or 3 years? With my other four Japanese cars I never bough it, considering it a waste of money. Three cars are proven that I don't need it.

I beleive that MBZ covers the car for 3 years or 36K. The maiteneece agreement saves you about half of the standard A and B services. That is you pay now, and take the car in for routine maintenece and it is covered at no out of pocket, , except tires, brakes, etc

'08 C300 Lux Barolo Red Beige Leather P2 MM 18" wheels '84 944
I'm about to get a new C class from Fletcher Jones, I'm choosing between a fully loaded C300 (keyless go, heated seats, P1, multimedia) vs a C350 which is basically a base model, doesn't have upgraded nav.
I'm about to go to the dealership to check both out but assuming the two are the same price, which would you guys pick and why? Please help ASAP!

I would have LOVED to get a fully loaded C300 4M but damn that sticker gets close to a base E!
Ironically, the two things I thought I could live without were leather and the 18" rims. Now I have a tear in the MB-TEX and my next planned mod is 18" rims (only thing stopping me is how damn expensive tires are, also not sure what would happen to my Safeguard Tire Protection). Does choosing leather also mean your steering wheel is leather wrapped? Whatever material is on it now feels pretty darn close to plastic even though something is obviously stitched on there... more so in the Luxury models. The grips on the Sport wheel seem thicker than the Luxury one making it feel less 'plasticky'.
OP, having the extra options when you are sitting in the car makes it SO much better. I absolutely hate getting into a loaner with the dinky screen (although I wish the larger screen was fixed). No hate to everyone without the MM package.
CONGRATS ON THE PURCHASE AND ON LAW SCHOOL! My sister will be done @ Benjamin Cardozo (Yeshiva Law) this year.
