Well, the C32 has 53K miles on it. I did want something different and spent 2 weekends with my son looking. I couldn't really find anything that I liked better.

The C55 seemed like a natural progression for me. I really like the C32. I don't buy new cars but I like to buy cars about 1-2 years old. I bought my C32 with 14k miles on it.

So my plan is to drive the C55 for about 2 years and then look at a used C63.

I used to have an E350 and it was just too big for me. It felt too boxy. I am only 5-9" tall. I feel much better in the cockpit of the C class.

That is why I went with the C55
