It may only be worth whats it worth but its in Mint Condition and it looks a hell of a lot more expensive. I mean I don't go around boasting upon everyone that I drive a MB...
I'm just saying that I appreciate it. I didn't think I would get cut down just cause my MB is a little old.
All I was saying was that I love it. That's all.
Thanks everyone.

Yea lol @ this thread.

<--19. I dont brag or even mention my car when people are talking about cars, But if they really wanna know, they'll know.

One thing I lie about to my friends and everyone I say im financing my S-class, though I payed for it in Full. People would be asking too many questions, So I need to lie.

I dont know what looks everyone is talking about in NYC no one cares people have bentlys and masratis here. its not like kansas or some small town.

It's not as many looks as i expected. but then again Its not SUMMER time YET!! haha its cold and winter and I drive at night. In the summer windows down its a chick magnet.

LOL C-Class is for girls

oh

and as for "leaving the keys out" deal.. I say I ride my bike to school.. (it's my personal way of being humble) I DO NOT in any way want to come off as a show off jerk. Always remember: You are driving a mercedes, keep the enjoyment personal if you know what I mean, if people think you drive a camry, or walk to school etc.. so be it. If they in fact see you cruising through a parking lot or something, then they will say heh, I thought that person walked to school. You come off as more "chill" and down to earth ( I like those kinds of people) On the other hand I know of girls who drive bimmers and such, and won't ever look at me until they see me in the car, which I really have a thing against (I have my reasons). Long live the Mercs! Like no other! lol

What a lot of people don't realize is that not all people who buy a C-class buy it because they cannot afford another class. Ever think about how it may just be a logical choice?

MB E320 cdi / Seat Ibiza / Mini cooper
hi there, iv just spent some time reading this thread..and i have to say i am quite amazed at the cars that some of the people drive on here at there age, and whether they paid for it themselves or not, who cares?! at least they have taste...as you dont see many young people like that over here...

this has been mentioned breifly before, but over here in England... im 20 and i would not get insured on my e320 cdi for less then £3000 ($5936) luckly i could go down the company insurance route...but even though its still an older mercedes..i do get some dodgy looks even though my friend's celica is worth more then mine

at least the majority of you can be happy that your not paying £1.10 ($2.18) a litre for fuel...

The C class is a very agile car. Yes, it's small, but not all of us bought it to pack our friends in and go on a road trip. Not all of us have a family of four.

I mean, I could have gotten an '01 S500 for the same price I paid for my C230. It is a nice car, I could have had a V8, way more horsepower than my c230, more legroom for everyone, navigation, etc. BUT, that's not what I wanted. If I wanted to impress people, make them think I'm "ballin", then yeah I could have gotten an S Class. But I really like the C class, and needless to say, so do my friends and family.

To each his own I guess, but no sense in saying people only buy C Classes because they can't afford another class.

Very true.

I just told a girl that I have too many cars and she asked me what I drive and she already knew I had a BMW and I said I also have a Mercedes. (Insert statement about awkward situation here)
Then she says oh you only have a BMW and a Mercedes. How nice.... I drive a Honda.
(Insert statement about another awkward situation here)

If I didn't have both cars I would be driving a C55 or M3 right now.

No, Italian. Israeli girl was rich and not very impressed. She probably drives a Bentley GT or rides around in a Maybach.
