Taking the plunge (with my first MB)
After driving around my girlfriends 2000 C280 (170k miles and runs like a a brand new car), I've finally decided to join the MB family with a 2012 C300. I'll be buying CPO as I always have, but I've never purchased a CPO with more than 5-8k miles. Knowing that I'll keep this car for at least a 5-7 years, I really want one that has exactly what I want (nav, memory seats, sport package - though I plan on putting the luxe grill on). So far the only C that matches up has 22.5k miles and a sticker of $33k. Does anyone think that 22.5k miles is a lot for a 2012? At most I've put 10k miles on my car in a year.

That is definitely a lot of miles for a 2012. I've heard that the normal amount of miles driven per year is something around 15k, and I think that is even a little high. You may not need to worry about it though because if you're keeping the car for 5-7 years the mileage will average out to be about on par with other cars when you come to sell it. You could obviously just continue looking for other cars, but because you drive a little less than the average person, I wouldn't worry about the mileage so much.
