Newbie here

We just bought our first MB yesterday through some neighbors who were selling her mother's car since she was moving to a retirement home. We have always been Honda and Odyssey owners but this one fell in our laps over the weekend. It is a 2009 C300 Sport with only 23,000 miles on it. To say it was babied would be an understatement! There's not a scratch or paint chip anywhere and the inside is pristine as well. No one had ever sat in the rear seats! It literally looks like it just came off the showroom floor. My husband and I are here to get to know other owners and to learn more about the car and how best to take care of it. I have been a member of the OdyClub forum for 18 years but our Ody was totaled (hit a deer) in December. I loved that van but it's gone. I hope I learn to love this car a fraction of that.

If I didn't upload the photo correctly, please excuse and let me know how to change it.

Thank you! Yes, it is extremely clean and we're delighted to have it.
I don't know if this is the proper place to ask or if I need to start a new thread so I apologize if I don't do something correctly. It appears there is a small missing emblem on top of the gear ship. I don't know what it's called or where to look for a replacement. It is a small disc so it probably fell off and the lady didn't notice that it was gone. Would you have any idea where to look for such a thing?
Thanks again!
Ann
