Hello from Colorado.....choices?

Hi Everyone,

Pretty new to the MB forums so please be gentle.

So long story short...our car was destroyed by baseball hail last week. We spent the time looking at replacements...to be honest I am a "P" car guy but my wife fell in love with the C and E series cars.

Now I am trying to help her figure out what she would like.

She is looking at the C300 or the E300 but I do not know the differences from trim and such..we literally never considered MB but after seeing what was on the dealers lot, I really think we are going in that direction. Her Audi cannot be replaced so we are looking at an S5, used Panamera, and leaning towards the E series MB. To be honest a new MB E series would be awesome......

We haven't had the time to test drive anything yet.....she never EVER considered a MB car but she really likes the C300 series on the lot and then we saw an E series and I think she is going that way!

If you can, pls direct us to the areas we should be looking in.

Thanks a TON!

If you can afford it go with the E series. I have one and I love it but with any cars there are the things that MB skimped on. They are minor and to most people it would not mind them. If I needed to buy a new one it would be an E or S class. The one I have is 4 years old and only has a few thousand miles. I average about 2000 miles a year
