Why did you buy your W210 and what do you like about it? What would be your next ride?

I bought my E55 because I'd wanted one for years and was finally in the market for a "new to me" car. I love the sleeper aspect of it and it's made for a great daily driver. I spent the last 8.5 years driving a 2002 Dodge Durango and wanted something fast again (had a '98 Z28 before it), but I also wanted something nicer than another Camaro or a Mustang. Overall, I am extremely happy with this car and it's been one of the best car purchases I've made.

As for my next car, I'd like to pick up a C6 Corvette (preferably Z06) once I get the E55 paid off.

2000 E320 Original Owner 2007 CLK550 Cabriolet 2015 S600
I was tired of spending $35,000 every three years on vehicles that didn't satisfy me. I decided to go to the next level of car which was in the $50k range. I only looked at the MB E320. I wanted an E430 but it was about $7k more for a V8. So I took the plunge and bought the E320 new in 2000. 11 years and 78,000 miles later I can honestly say it is the best car I have ever owned. While it may not be the coolest or fastest car I have ever owned my family has really enjoyed the car. I have also used it for work as a real estate agent. My daughter is getting her license later this month and the E320 will be her car.

The worst thing I can say about MB is they don't keep their value worth crap. However, this allowed me to buy a 2007 CLK550 convertible earlier this year at half the sticker price. I will never buy another new MB.
