Need help deciding!!!

Hi all....

I am trying to sell my mitsubishi eclipse and buy a benz afterwards.... but I am having a really hard time deciding on which model to go with... my options came down to these.... 1998 C43 AMG, 1997 S320, 1997 S500 coupe, 1999 CLK320, 2001 C240 or 1999 ML430... all of them are in the 50-60K mi range.... I test drove most of them and really liked them all... so any opinions would be highly appreciated.... I also test drove a 2000 jag xjr which has an amazingly exhilarating accel... but I am still leaning towards the benz....

I am 21 yr ol uni student... so I would be using the car to go around and commuting... which car has the least expensive maintenance and which one is the most reliable?

I used to be a big fan of bimmers but everything changed since I had my 95 W124 back home.... Benz really does drive like a dream...


Thanks alot all....
