Hi everybody, Im new to the forum I am trying to keep it under $45k with navigation, well I would like a fully loaded car. I prefer a 4 door and 4 wheel drive. I was looking at the C240, and the C320.

If anybody has any suggestions for which one I should get and why pelase let me know. How much should I go to the dealer expecting to pay, etc?

Thanks for the help

New or used ? You can get a lot more for your money if you buy a car 1-3 years old (and get the starmark warranty).

I would get the C320.

Question for readers, how much is a used 2004 E320 going for and can one get AWD?

Just wondering, I make this assumption, but... how reliable will the car be? I drive around 30k miles a year.

Also... I am coming from an 2004 Acura TSX and when I glanced in the benz it looked like a cheap interior compared to the Acura...but I didnt get to sit in it or anything so I guess I will have to go there tomorrow when they are open

Thanks
