Nice car mate. It's not all about power and I'm sure there's upgrades to give it more poke any way. Grandma had a merc and yeah it's an experience you can't match with a Ford or Holden.

Ah, ended up with the C Class. I've got the exact same but in black.

Great cruiser and very good on long drives. You won't be disappointed. Build quality is great and servicing costs aren't that hefty either. (service every 12-18months costing $350 for a minor and about $750 for a major)

I've got the Merc for Wife and long drive duties, a 2000 vectra as a daily and the VH for the power and fun.

I actually quite like the Cs. I was tooling around in a C200 CGI (CGI being the turbo that has replaced kompressor now) last week and, for what it is, it's a quick little thing. Handles pretty well, very comfortable (once I adjusted EVERYTHING so I'd fit), the entertainment system works and sounds great (can't think of the brand), reverse camera and sensors are accurate, gearbox is reasonable for an auto - really no complaints from me. Sure, it's not the quickest thing on the planet, but it's as quick as it needs to be. This one was a demo that the owner picked up for around $62K from memory - so a bit of a bargain really.

I reckon you've found yourself a nice car there, mate. Congratulations on the purchase.

Sure did, signed the paperwork and all. But the dealer did some unprofessional things so I walked out. They didnt agree to the deal we shook hands on. Bit waist of time. (was not an official Lexus dealership). But I must admin, I like the Benz better. Must be my German heritage.

OH yeah, which ones did you look at? When I was upgrading sonata to a higher class car I looked at the Mercs but: The owner had a mass dildo stuck up his ass and plus I didn't like the ride. Each to their own though,
