I work on these cars you will not be disappointed .
But if you take the car to the dealership get ready to drop your pants
and they do not lube. The most ignorant service dealers i had the pleasure to meet ..all of them.

This is a status comment and you can disregard it if you don't care but:

That thing looks like it has halogen headlamps and not HID projectors. Are you REALLY gonna buy a Mercedes with Halogen headlights??

ONLY vehicles that I know that come with HIDs from the factory in housings and not projectors are late model top of the line Subarus, and Acura CSX

If I ever see a base C250 with fake leather, halogens. Audi A4 with FWD CVT or a 320i with less than 200HP or something like that I assume they're trying too hard to fit in but in reality, they don't really belong in that crowd and cheap out. Those people were better with Japanese vehicles in the first place because they needed the value factor.
