I was thinking the same thing.

When I buy a car - I tend to keep it for a long time. Lease - well, its 3 years and out.

Yeah, I must admit I actually do like many Mercedes. The C is one of the ones I think I'd enjoy.

Very good observation as far as I am concerned.

simply put my 2001 X5 (August 2000) has been for the longest duration I have owned ANY car/truck. Just tells you how satisfied I am with this vehicle.
