My first Benz...kinda...
Greetings MB Community. Its great to be a part of the family! I've loved MB since I was a kid and finally have my first...kinda.
For starters, I've just acquired a 2013 C300 4MATIC, black on black via Carvana. My last experience with a car from them was great so hoping for the same or better experience this go around. Its got 66k miles on the clock and for its age, is in great looking shape.
And why I say kinda is that I also have a 2004 Chrysler Crossfire with 6 speed, 77k miles. As many of you may know, its basically an R170 with an M112; or an SLK320. I've cut my teeth on several jobs with this one and hope my knowledge and forums like these can keep me on track with the newer Benz. I must admit I am a little nervous in owning one with a little more miles on it...plus with the W204 being new to me as well.
Thanks again and look forward to belonging to the MBWorld community.
