Well after a 7 year run, I decided to retire my C240, which I had since High School. I just signed an incredible lease agreement with Rallye Motors here in Long Island. The stealership, (after taking nearly a grand for my Front SAM Module happened to be quite generous this time around) and gave me an awesome deal on a new 2013 C300. I guess since the model year is changing, they wanted to clear their inventory quick in anticipation of the 2014 model and the CLAs that are arriving later this month.

I simply got tired of my 2002 C240 constantly giving me problems plus I just go tired of the old technology so it was long time for an upgrade. We decided to keep the G500 in the garage and use it as a weekend getaway car considering the price of that car is just astronomical in so many ways. So I decided to lease this new C300. I'll post pictures soon the car is awesome in so many levels really proud that I finally was able to accomplish this.

I may end up keeping the car ha-ha who knows, figured I'd lease it now so its not too much of a pain in the wallet, but who knows 3 years from now, I may end up just buying the damn thing. I tried several other cars, BMWs, Audis, Lexus's, nothing beats my C300 I love it so much! Great Car!

Now I just gotta work extra hard to make sure it stays in my driveway lol, j/k. Nothing is taking this car away from me.

So for those who've owned the C300, what do you guys think? Awesome right?! .

A few things I want to do, I would like to change the headlights, because they simply suck, maybe I'll get the Philips Diamond White Lights to give it a brighter HID like look. I'm no longer doing HIDs on this, like I did before on my 2002 C240. They are just too bright.. Also i'll probably add the rear and forward Mercedes Benz License Plate covers and call it a day haha.

 

Congrats! Just got mine too a couple of weeks ago. Loving it! It's a 2010 Sport Mars Red. I installed the Phillips Diamond on my headlights and LOVE the new look. I also did Polarg bulbs on the eyebrows and all interior lights. Highly recommended! Makes the whole car look much more modern. Other than that I installed a Bluetooth A2DP module in the glovebox hooked up to AUX to play Pandora and music from my phone, an SD card PCMCIA reader in the Stereo so I can load up 32GB of my songs at a time, and a DVD-in-Motion module so my passengers can watch DVDs while I'm driving and paying close attention to the road.

 

Congrats and welcome! Let see some pics

 

Congrats on your car, this is my first MB I just purchased a few weeks ago also.
I must say I already like this more than my bmw 328 i had right off the bat.

 

^ I'm curious about why you like this over your previous 328i. Not to get into a war debate on what the better car is, but because I flip/flopped between cars a few months ago.

 

The prob is any base model is going to lack a lot of things for me I suppose coming from a fully loaded Cadillac STS 06' car that had Keyless entry, Touch-to-Start, Navigation, Premium Sound 15" speakers bose 400watts, 18"s wheels, Backup Sensors, etc. So my 328xi was a base model to make the long story short and it was a 07. This MB has to be better bcuz its a 2011 so I have higher expectations I didn't really choose it over the bmw but didn't want to own another 328 (powerless engine/huge turbo lago & gas guzzler) for that I would of enjoyed a 335 more. I was in the hunt for a X3 2013 (SUV) but found this deal on the Benz with only 6,200 miles.
