which one

Ok, I need help. In a few weeks, will be buying a car. Have my choices narrowed down to 3 or4, but the more I look at Mercedes, the more I like MB. The quality, the look, I just love it. But, I do not want to spend over 30k (no laughing, please). So, do I go with a new C230 or 320 coupe, or do I look for something used?

I am looking for sportyness and luxury, followed by comfort and reliability...........

Give me your opinion, I am open to suggestions. Thanks!

well ....there is nothing like a nice new CAR
but...with a budget in mind and some net searching i bet
you could get an 02 or even an 03 with low miles
and factory warranty on the net. try cars.com.
but...be sure to run a carfax report just to be sure

Look at ACURAs, unless you want lots of headaches.

That's funny, b4 MB's, I had the new TL as my top choice!

My concern with the Acuras is the LT quality....... sounds weird coming form a guy who has owned 4 Hondas, but I keep reading about problems with the leather seats, fit and finish, and other little things.....
