BMW 135IS vs Mercedes c300

[jester17]

Sell them all and buy a 1978 Chrysler K car.

And after you find a 1978 K car, why not get a 1983 Corvette!

Then upgrade to a Pontiac Aztek!

You missed it! You can actually find a Pontiac Aztek, the others two cars never existed!

I am only 22 years old and my mom and my girlfriend is really upset with me about getting a new car which is my 3rd one

My first was 2004 infiniti g35 then 2011 mercedes c300 sports

I got really bored of the Benz and realized it wasn't my style .


Do you guys think I should keep the mercedes ??

Please give me feedbacks

The only "feedbacks" I'll give you is, that it's time to move out of mama's crib, ditch the annoying girlfriend, and hit up the local community college for a grammar class.

Since it's your money do whatever makes you happy. Just be a little smart about it and watch what you lose in these swaps. Sampling luxury cars would be a dealer's dream customer. It sounds like you bought the Merc for the badge before you knew what you really wanted. The c300 is a family car not unsimilar to the 328i. Maybe you should test drive a c63 coupe/sedan before committing to the 135is!

if you work "super hard" then why give a damn what they think. Sounds like you depend on their approval.....grow up. If this is really an issue... move out of your mom's basement, because still living at home is the only way my parents would have this kind of power over me, if. Take that money and get a place to live and get your balls back from your girlfriend while your at it....

Hey, they didn't make the K car until 1981...

Sell the Merc, back the 135i to the dealer and enjoy your money on life experiences rather than materialistic objects.

I'm in my mid 20's now but when I was 22 I was travelling all over the world including your great land. I saw loads of people in The States around my age acting like real spoilt brats, looking down on the working class in their 'beater' Honda's; I even saw one guy in a BMW spit on some poor kids Saturn in LA. I was pretty shocked to see how stuck up some people are who don't know a real problem when they see one but on the flip side I felt good knowing that I was broadening my horizons, exploring and gaining life experience. Someone told me out there that a large percentage of American's haven't actually been out of America which I thought was disappointing but hey, if impressing your fellow American with a nice car is better than creating some adventures then so be it.

Don't get me wrong, we get the same kind of people here...21yr olds in new Audi's who spend their free time either driving about shouting "look at me" or getting messed up every weekend in bars with hired booths. To a point that's fun but it's not a life.

I don't regret doing the travelling at all even though I traded off a few years of material comforts, it was the best time of my life and really sobering especially when you meet some people who really have no pot to p1ss in. I met one guy in Egypt, a small store owner who practially cried when I returned to his shop the day after browsing to buy stuff; the poor guy was living in shhht and what I classed to be small change pretty much made the guy's year; stuff like that really puts things into perspective and gives you an idea of what a real problem is. Eventually I met my current employer in San Diego, landed an awesome job (which I had to work my ass upwards for) when I returned home and in their UK offices and now too am enjoying life's little luxuries.

Before 30 and when I can take a gap in my career I hope to bin the car and gadgets and do it all again. For this reason I have not comitted to buying a property yet, for me there's more I want to see first.

Each to their own though...

Anyway, that's my advice; you only live once.
