Fate got me here!
Hello from Texas! Picked up a 2025 C300 a few weeks ago. It was fate that put her in my garage...
So there I was...
Looking for a nice weekend car for the wife and I to get away in. Midlife crisis thoughts had corvettes appearing in my Google searches at first. Next I have a coworker with a G70. Took one for a test drive and loved it so that was on my radar. Finally, wife and I took a trip out of town and I decided to rent a luxury sedan. I didnt know what they were going to give me. It was either an Audi or BMW I thought. They called me the day before and said the rental was ready for pick up and advised it was a Benz. I was like...OK, let me start sipping my Dr.Pepper with my pinky extended. It was a black CLA250. We were impressed so we added MBs to our list. Fast forward to a few weeks ago I see a G70 for sale. We go by the dealership and it was gone. We stop by a dealership right next door and saw a C300 that looked nice but had a dent. We left there and drove across town to see another C300 which was a bit older but was nice as well. That one sold on the day I was going to make a deal. That same day, I received an email for a 2025 C300 at a MB dealership around the corner from my office. Needless to say, I took the rest of the day off, drove over and bought it. Fate lead me to this car and I love it.
