I really dont understand. Are you getting a MB next week but you dont know what model you are getting? Why are you going to buy a MB when you dont know anything about them?

Yeah, it sounds like you are just getting one to say you have a Mercedes. Do some research and find out one will suit you best. Do you want a 4 door or 2 door, 2 seater or 4+ seater, SUV or car, sports car or all out luxury car, convertible or coupe, hardtop convertible or soft-top, fast or super fast, big or small? Mercedes has them all and they are all great I think you aren't getting many replies because, well, this is kind of a strange question, lol.

yeah that is kind of a weird question to ask

but i guess ill at least get this started

sedans (price and performance ascending)
C
E
S

coupes
CLK
CL

roadsters
SLK
SL

SUVs
M
G

and then of course, there are the AMG's, which if you want the best benz experience possible, you should buy.

www.mbusa.com

do some research

also there are the maybachs and the slr. altho you should forget about them if you dont have at least 300k...

Knowledge and likes do not matter with MBs.

They are all first class.

Just buy the first one you see next week or whenever you are ready...whatever ...
