Hi guys,
First, let me say that this is simply the best resource anywhere for automotive discussions, updates etc. Super Job! I've been looking at this site for quite some time now and i too need some help from you - my better experienced peers.
I'm looking to buy a premium sedan. My budget is a max of 170k. After doing whatever research & looking at a number of vehicles i've got down to this list.
1) A new 2008 Merc C-class: will cost about 169 for the top optioned E 200 komp.
2) A used Mec E280: 2007 model, 25K mileage, being offered for 167K with 2 yrs warranty
3) The 2008 Cadillac CTS: my heart is with this one, but there are downsides of course in terms of this market
I've looked at others also including lexus and infinity but space is just too less. I'm a tall fellow at 6'2 so space is an issue. Loved the G35, still do but space is less. IS300 is lovely inside but it would have been better as a coupe .. rear seats are useless except for maybe children or midgets.
From the 3 listed above, which one would you advise going for? My head says E280, but heart says Caddy. I need to decide quickly or i'll lose the E280 option.
Or am i totally off the mark ... am i missing something???
Many thanks in advance to all who spare some time to give me some advice on this.
Cheers!
