Not my first European car (that was an 88 Saab 900 SPG) but very happy to have a 2013 C-250 in the driveway. Dealer's loaner car with 12k mi on it for $31k out the door.


Only thing it's missing is a backup camera, but we'll fix that.

 

Welcome buddy! That is a clean ride and that color is dope! Looks good at those angles.

 

Welcome! That is a great looking Sport. Almost elegant. Very nice.

 

I didn't realize that "Lunar Blue Metallic" was a premium color.


It's got P1 package, the 7 spoke 18" AMG wheels and keyless go. Can't believe the original sticker on this was $42k. It's WAY more car than I thought I was going to buy. SO glad I did an area search with my price range or I wouldn't have even looked at the MB dealer. Never occurred to me that I could get a 11 month old C250 loaner for less than a new Mazda 6 Grand Touring or Ford Fusion Titanium. Like I said SOooo glad I found it.

 

nice ride!!!! now with the money you saved.....modding it is!

 

It's funny when you relize this. Or even with leasing, when you relize for like $50 more you could have that car over that car. World of difference. I tell my friends this all the time, but until they relize it, they won't understand.

 

Those 7 spokes :drool:

Great looking car, even better deal. Enjoy

 

Did first long drive in it this weekend. San Jose to Monterey. Plenty of construction and just plain bad roads between the two locations and the 18" sure do let you know when the road is less than smooth. Seriously considering picking up a set of 17" wheels and putting better riding tires on them. I'm willing to give up some handling if it means not getting thrown around while driving. Any suggestions?


As it is now the ride has me thinking twice about driving round trip form SF Bay Area to Minnesota and back, but boy is it fun in corners.
