No idea what to do...
Ok so here is my situation:
I currently have a 2008 E300 4matic and I had it in the dealer last week to get my tires changed back to summer. While I was there I spotted a 2006 C55 on the lot. I took a look at it and drove it and I fell in love with it. But I'm really torn on what to do about this. I would love to just trade my E300 for a car with more power, but at the same time I don't want to lose things like Parktronic, 4matic, Active Bi-Xenon, etc. The C55 has 30k Miles and my E300 has 45k miles. The C55 is also a CPO. I have no idea what to choose, tough call.
Any opinions?

4 matic is really good over here but I came from a C230 before my E300 and it wasn't so bad. Mind you, It didn't have 350+ HP but it still managed to get through snow. If I did pull the trigger on the 55 I think I would drive my 300E in the winter.

It was a one or the other situation. But I think I'm just going to stay with the E300, and maybe get the C55. I just can't bring myself to get rid of the E, it may not be the powerhouse of the century, but what a great car!

Why would you consider going backwards to an entry level car?? 55 or not its still an entry lever with lots fewer features and less comfort.
