I thought of those too, but Lenie has his own little set of rules.

Been looking everyday as it's tough for me to make decisions but bought a car yesterday. Will dissapoint a few of you but found a deal I couldn't pass up. Had 31,000 miles on it, stayed within my means, was able to pay cash out of pocket so now I can put my real money towards more important things...ie.. investing, vacations and OLD CARS. Oh yeh, the car is a 2010 MB C350 AMG pkg I picked up for $22,000. Never owned one but seems to run well and ride nice, more importantly the wifes happy w/it!

I have one of those as well (wife's), does run well and gets 29 mpg on the highway. When you hit 30k mileage, gonna get a A1 message for service. About $300+ to change the fluids. Hopefully, the service was already completed. Next one hits about 10k miles after the first and so on. That's the only thing I don't like is the service costs, and each letter A,B,C...etc are more expensive, just so you know in advance. Also the only issue we have had is the main CPU control mod. blew but it was covered under warranty. The shop said that it was the first one they had heard about on the East Coast. Weird. Anyway, they do drive nice and my wife loves hers. Glad you found something.
