It seems like you have the car, so congrats.
@stever,
If you had bought that Kia Soul, maybe they would have missed you!

The Protonic Red Edition- I had to move several cars today as we are feuding with the adjacent Honda dealer over parking spaces.

One other thing about Autonation....they have these ugly PINK license plate holders they put on all their new cars....unless you go to the gift shop and buy normal ones.
We chose regular chrome ones which I am sure we paid an exorbitant amount for....Mrs D used her credit card and I don't know how much it was....but, I didn't want the PINK one on there with the goofy wording...even though it is for a good cause.

I am smiling broadly, just thinking about you shopping for a Benz, and having a panic attack at seeing the price.

Glad you're OK, @stever - never fun.
Buying used is different than buying new. Your recent C, OldFarmer's 'Vette, my Cobra, etc...all pulled us forwards them where price wasn't of utmost importance because you might not find another that tugs you towards it.
It's a shame you paid 200 bucks to much for it.
FWIW, my nose is pretty soft.

@stickguy & @driver100 - I also really like the C-Class of that vintage. MB has a pretty generous CPO warranty. I'd have to find the ULTIMATE car. It would have to be a 2014 C300 4Matic Sport with the 3.5L V6 (which has the adaptive suspension), The 5 Spoke AMG wheels, with Xenon Headlights, in Iridium Silver for me to even consider it.

Thanks guys for the nice comments. I had to take the recyclables out to the garage and I took a look at the C250 and it sure does look priddy.
The warranty isn't as good as they made it sound. They have very tricky wording, "The car comes with Mercedes top CPO warranty, 5 years coverage and unlimited miles" We thought it meant 5 years from the time we bought the car BUT, what it means is 5 years from when the car was sold the first time. So the BtoB warranty runs until Jan 2019, 5 years from Jan 2014 when the car was built. Unlimited mileage is interesting, but, I guess if you do that many miles you will pay for so much service they make money on it anyway.
We were disappointed in what the warranty really means, but, it still gives us two years of covered driving, and then we will know whether it is a car we will keep or trade in...or sell to oldfarmer.
A few other comments. I don't know why Mercedes sales people have to wear suits in Florida. I would be OK with them wearing nice T shirts. Also, I have never bought a Mercedes and our salesman had to change the license plates from one car to the other. This has always been done by the service people.
About the warranty, the salesman said this warranty is better than the original warranty, which is 4 years and 50k miles. I guess it is, all in how you interpret it.

The other thing would be to have a hot water tap for making coffee. That would be real handy camping - about the only cooking we do in the campgrounds is making coffee.
Not sore this morning by the way, and my wife thinks my shoulder was tender yesterday from the seat belt catching me, not me hitting the B pillar.

The new car will get a dash cam.
At least the heated steering wheel is easy to get.
Now Ford agrees with her. Just got an email wanting to know if I would be interested in participating in some "important" research. They want me to plug a data device into my Mustang for 2 and a half months to monitor how the car performs. Just like insurance companies do except they say they don't want to monitor my driving just how the car responds to it.
They offer $50 for the trouble.
Not sure it would be fair to take their money since the car is likely to spend the next couple of months under a sheet in the garage.
"Recently, you completed a vehicle usage survey regarding your 2015 Mustang GT COUPE 5.0L 4V on behalf of Ford. From your responses to that survey, you have been identified as a potential participant in a follow-up research study.
Morpace has again partnered with Ford and now Geotab, a leading vehicle usage data collection software company, to offer a limited number of Ford owners the opportunity to participate in a 2.5 month study to collect vehicle performance data.
UnitAll data will be reported alongside other participants; personal information will never be disclosed or reported on.
So how does this work?
A small device is plugged into the vehicle's OBDII port and records data while you drive, such as:
Braking habits
Acceleration
Seat belt use
Fuel economy
Idling time
Hours of usage
Maintenance requirements
This is similar to the devices advertised by insurance companies to collect data on your driving habits and offer a reduction in insurance premiums based on the information collected. In this case, we're only interested in the vehicle performance, not your driving performance.
It's very simple for you to install and takes only a few minutes."

Was checking the spare tire accessory last night. Tools, rim. No tire - very odd. Maybe be easier to get a tire/rim from a shop or on craigslist and buy a jack at Harbor Freight. The kit may have some tie down stuff on though.
The Michelin Primacy MXM4 94V All Season by comparison is anything but...they are underwhelming and pricey at $1,277 mounted. The description reads:
"If you want all-season versatility (including light snow traction) and responsive handling along with noise and ride comfort you will like this Grand Touring tire. Branded with the M+S symbol and capable of providing year-round traction (even in light snow), these tires are designed to blend a performance tire's appearance with a passenger tire's smooth, quiet ride. Grand Touring All-Season tires are often used as Original Equipment and place more emphasis on handling and high-speed capabilities than Standard Touring tires."
The only thing that it has in common with a performance tire is its appearance (sic). The MXM4 Grand Touring is soft and jittery and does not seem to be compatible with my high performance and adaptive suspension system. The dealer says it is designed for the cushy boulevard ride and I will grow into liking it. Maybe so, but I miss my Goodyear RSAs. One consolation though, a $70 VISA rebate debit card.
I am going to try for some photos later today.

Since my accident I have heard of so many people who tell me they were just hit in an accident too. I tell people and either they have been hit within the last few months or a close friend or relative has been a victim.

Really surprised Goodyear can make a superior tire to Michelin too, but, you just never know.
