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 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.
