So I decided to not buy a 1er...

BimmerKid87 · 12-10-2008, 07:28 PM

Got a 2009 Mercedes C300 Sport, black on black, nicely equipped...even has a manual tranny.

Got $3300 off sticker, making it about the same price as a decently equipped 128i, and I prefer the Merc...was too good to pass up.

I'll post pics when I pick it up if anyone is interested.

doubleA · 12-10-2008, 08:25 PM

Congrats, the Merc is still a sick car man.

A new car is always worth celebrating. But, I think you might need to consider changing your handle. :biggrin:

Congrats! Lets see some pics. I was in a very similiar position as you, I was THIS CLOSE to getting a TT roadster, and at the last minute decided to go with the 1er.

AlBel1214 · 12-11-2008, 08:36 AM

Not a bad choice dude... my friend just picked one of those up...

pit1 · 12-11-2008, 09:15 AM

One of the best looking Mercs in a long long time. Congrats!!!

There's definitely something about a Black Mercedes-Benz. The epitome of elegance and class.

Coolness. I love how the new C-class looks and I've always been a fan of the AMG C variants.

gocal73 · 12-12-2008, 02:36 AM

I'll leave it at that.

One more thing. Don't get into any 0-60 runs with a 128. it'll run away from the C300.

It's a stick so it's in the high 6 second range. After driving a C300 manual and a 128i back to back, the difference isn't significant. I wouldn't say the 128 would "run away." The Mercedes has more torque so it may even be slightly peppier off the line. Either way, the cars are pretty well matched, with the edge going to the 128i in the 0-60.

Dave · 12-12-2008, 09:20 AM

the c300 is also a great highway cruiser but there is a big disconnect with the driver and the road...

oh ya.. my old 420 sel 8 )
