Need advice...

Hey MBworld members,


I've decided I'm going to trade in my MY 2010 C300 for another larger car. I just recently had another addition to the family and figured a larger car would better. But I need some help in deciding. The only two cars I'm interested in is the Toyota Venza and the MB GLK350 currently, are there any other models I should look at. Also my car is around the 25k mark in miles, what trade in value should I average so I don't get raped at the dealer. It is standard Iridium Silver, with burlwood, no extra options. Thanks for your help guy!!!


Oh yeah another thing I kind of want to stay in the budget of around 30K, so looking for used cars and not brand new.

my wife bananas! :D
first off, congrats!!

When you say another addition, i will guess you have more than one child in that case the glk might still be too small for you. My wife drives a glk now and with our daughter only at 14mths the size is perfect for family outings... but we know that if she gets a bit bigger or that we have another child, the glk will not be enough. For us, our next step up is the GL... a used one could fit in your budget... but that would be a few years used.

I am not familiar with the venza so i cant comment on them. an acura mdx could work, sat in one a few months back and they were quite roomy
