Wow You need to relax man. Do you realized that you're trying so hard just to change my opinion? Well you need to learn how to debate first. The moment you said "Your wrong" you already failed. C-class is a low end MB you can't change the fact.

No because I hate ignorant statements, everybody oh claims did you know that Taxis in Germany are Mercedes so they must not be luxury. Wrong the German Government subsidizes Mercedes so that a E class is the same price as a VW Passat Taxi. Than you have the nerve to tell me to go to Europe and learn about Europe even though Europe is my home.

Everyone needs to relax and take a breath. Neither side will be able to prove whether a C Class is "luxury" or not because there is no consensed agreement as to what constitutes luxury in an automobile. I've studied it as a market researcher, and one person's luxury is another's undesirable, whether due to exterior/interior styling, how plush, how fast, how expensive, how generally recognized by their personal peer group, etc. So, let's all understand there are valid opposing opinions beyond our personal subjectivity, agree to disagree, and let's move on.

Well your opinion is wrong, In the rest of the world they are considered Luxury Sedans, take for instance Germany the power of Europe where salary's and PPP are about 10k lower per capita, but the C Class is 10 to 15k more than the US. The average car here is a Fiat or a VW Golf base trim spread with a liberal amount of Opels and all the other french auto makers. In Italy owning any Mercedes gives you big baller status right away. I can go on and on any mercedes above the A & B Class is a luxury sedan.
In europe you can also get a C class with no power seats, cloths seats, no power windows and such. Whats luxury about that! I grew up overseas buddy! The w204 sport has nothing luxury going for it. its a good car from a luxury car maker but nothing luxury about it! No room, uncomfortable to be considered luxury. And without the wood trim is even more of a non luxury car. You can get leather seats and sat nav in a nissan sentra, does that make it a luxury car? No!!!! To me luxury starts in the E class. And before anybody else attacks me, This is my opinion. I owned a C63 which I sold to a fellow member in here, and never did I think I owned a luxury car when I owned it even tho paid $70K for it!!

OP, try a new dealer. Some dealers are really lazy (I have no idea why) while others will find problems to fix by themselves. I had a "noise" coming from my front suspension that I was completely unaware of. Helms Bros Bayside fixed it under warranty while my car was in for scheduled maintenance and told me when I picked it up. That was pretty awesome. Other times, dealers have tried to charge me $120 just to LOOK at the problem once I was out of warranty.
Good luck.
