I FINALLY GOT MY FIRST MB!!!!!!
What's up guys, I've been patiently waiting for quite sometime, for the day that I would be able to hop on this forum as a new member! Finally went out and found an excellent deal on a fully optioned(for the U.S.
) '08 C350. Picked it up for 24k with only 11k miles on it! And the best part is that I OWN IT!!! Never owned a car before, and the first time I have ridden in a Merc... I BOUGHT IT!!!But:
I'm Mike
I live in OK working for a large Government contractor as an engineer,
And I won't be doing toooo much to this Merc, as I plan to get an AMG for myself and eventually let the wifey keep this one.
Take Care,
Mike

It has the Lighting PKG, Multi-Media PKG, Cold Weather?? PKG, AMG PKG????,
IDK Honeslty, If you see something it doesn't have, please let me know, but I was told the only way for it to have more options (Except larger wheels) was if it was purchased in Canada.
Not trying to be a poseur, I am under the impression that it's loaded. It was an MB service loaner.

Congratulations! Honestly, as long as you have the lighting package (US) and the MM package w/ HK audio, you will be enjoying this car for as long as you keep it for!
Keyless Go comes as part of the PP and the 18" AMG wheels come as standard/default on the C350 in Canada. 17" provides extra comfort in ride quality anyway!

Hey Me Too!!
Just picked up my first MB C300 Sport on Saturday. I've been an Audi guy for many years and was looking for a used A4. Can't find any here in Ohio worth buying. My wife said check out MB's. Next thing you know I'm driving it home. 
Love it!! Used cars are in short supply around here so I was very lucky to find a 2009 with only 27K miles and for $26K CPO. Problem is I've only driven it twice. My wife has had it most of the week.
BTW: Great site. I will be spending a lot of time here.

Thanks everybody, and congrats Kamcad!!!
And yeah, I am very happy to have found one with such low miles for the price, I was looking forever, and all that cash was really starting to burn a hole in my pocket!!!
KOOLVI, yeah, but you guys (in Canada) also have something where you can mirror the passenger climate control to the Driver.
And because I am an engineer, I am always mindful of improvements that can be made to make something a little better... I REALLY wish I could get into this computer and change some very simple thing on my MB. I love the car, but I think I may end up breaking into it on one of these warm days and redoing quite a bit... Make use of these 3 switches next to the rear curtain button that aren't being used!!!

ParkCities Autohaus, huh? When I was shopping for one for my wife back in December, I remember seeing that and IIRC, it had something fishy listed in the CarFax. Don't remember if it was totaled, or something.
Otherwise I actually would've bought it if the CarFax was clean, so I never even bothered to go look at it. Hopefully it works for you. The dealership does have some bad publicity, too, BTW.
Congrats, nevertheless.

Texfinn, yeah, it had a deep scratch and broken tail light. Both were fixed VERY well. Clean title with no accident reported(damage reported by auction house). And I really should have taken his name off of the pictures... He is VERY SHADY and I DO NOT RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE!!!!!!! He was even trying to deny knowledge of the accident after I pulled up pictures of the vehicle that were taken at the auction he purchased it from. But in all honesty, the damage was pretty minimal, and was fixed to standard. And the factory warantee has not been affected... For the price though, I am very pleased!!!
