Got rid of the 09 Audi A4 with 95K miles, (after sinking $4,300) for a new head.....

2010 c300 21,000miles on the odo. Warrantee till 135K miles or 2017. If I sell the car before 100,000 miles I can get the additional 35K miles warrantee cancelled for full refund. (Which is nice since I drive about 40K as year.)

Pretty darn comfortable and the kids like it better than the A3 I was driving for a month.....

I'm a BMW man myself (for the kid hauler), but...... Saweeeeeet!

OK, you got a race.....I'll run the E350 against her. Let's do Palomar!

Nice! Bummer about the Audi, I hear that too much.

Nice Benz. Congrats. I get a C class when my Gwagen is in the shop and really like them. I have owned every German brand but an Audi. Probably will try one someday, but no denying Ed's comment above.

Eharrison

From what I heard BEFORE I bought mine and during the time I owned it. Never keep an Audi outside of warrantee. I should of listened, I didn't like the four ring tax that I didn't expect. I was actually in the process of trading it in for an A3 TDI but the one I wanted wasn't in port for another 30 days. I got it appraised at the dealer and made a deal on the car coming in. I told the dealer I was going to take it in for service to take care of the rough sporadic idle and get the 95K mile service done. I scheduled the service and the day I took it in the check engine light went on.... I got it back yesterday and went stright from the Audi dealer to MB Carlsbad..... Ended up buying one in Laguna Niguel today...



And Ed yeah I bet Palomar would be fun! Little muted, but fun!

Ed Hughes

Deb's car is pretty fun to drive, I'm sure you'll love yours. Tons of room too, even I can fit in back. We ended up at Fletcher Jones on ours-SD dealers were more $$. Ours was a CPO with 35K and sold by them to the original owner-they even did new brakes and tires as part of their CPO program. For less than $30K, we'd be hard pressed to find a better new car.

Nice looking car. I have been considering a CPO C300 for a DD for almost a year. I have a friend that owns a E350 and it's a sweet car. Please keep us informed on how it holds up.

Ed, that's an outstanding price for a E350...I think my friend paid ~$40K for his CPO. His is a Matic = awd. you might not need that function in SoCal. :-)

Eharrison

I had your E class in mind when I looked at the cars but to keep it under 25K on the odo and low 30's on price, the E-class was just out of range.

The beauty was that the CPO'd car has 85K more miles of warranty than new! They tried to sell me a new one since they have a deal where if you trade in a Lexus, BMW, Audi, or Porsche you get 2000K off the car. (I did ask since I own a P-car and an Audi, do I get $4K?....Nope


I'll keep you guys posted on what happens to this car....

Ed Hughes

It's all timing...the week before Christmas and the fact as a salesman myself, I got to be the pain in the *** for once.

Eharrison

FYI, 48,900 miles on the car. (27,900 miles in 8 months!) Still a champ, and completely enjoy the car.

It's actually transferring ownership to the wife, the company I work for has decided to switch from a stipend to giving us vehicles. I'm about (hopefully) to get a new Tundra 4X4 and we'll sell the wifey's Pathfinder and she will now drive the MB. I would, with out a doubt, buy another MB once this one goes out of warrantee (y?).

911 Crazy

Very nice!

Ed Hughes

That's a lot of forlorn miles! I used to put 40K+ on a year on my company car in AZ back in the 80's.

Deb's MB has been great too. It is a great car for road trips. It also hauls a 90lb chocolate lab pretty well too, and the interior seems to be very resistant to all of the slobber and drool.

Eharrison

Ha! three kids = one chocolate lab, so I know what you mean.

Oh and I'll be updating the Targa thread this weekend. I've been moving on it a lot recently.
