I'm look'n at buying another car...I want either a Mercedes C-Class or BMW 3 series. I wonder which ones better. So far I've been leaning on getting a Mercedes C-Class '04-05 model (most I've seen is in my price range).

Are you looking for a standard transmission?Originally Posted by qng001
How long do you plan on keeping it? When you say it's in your price range, have you researched any maintenance and repair costs? Not cheap. For either make. I can't tell you the number of times people come in to get repairs for their pre-owned European vehicles they bought because they were more affordable only to find out that you can't get pre-owned prices on maintenance and repairs. And good luck finding a non-dealer shop to work on them. While there are some, they aren't that much of a discount and could take days considering the backlogs they usually have.
Automatic Transmission.
I'm looking at certified preowned mercedes c-class in Little Rock...some range from 22-25K or maybe a BMW. Also theres a import car repair shop down the road from me. I'm plan on keeping it 3-4 years. This will be my second car, going to keep the current one I drive everyday.
Damn boy a second car!? Don't ever complain about being tight on money to me again.
The C-class drives well and is a very "solid" car (you'll know what I'm talking about when you drive it). That said, be ready to spend a lot for repairs, because they don't come cheap and after 5 years it will need them (see Dirtydawg's post).
Hey I'm almost paid up on my current one...so gonna keep that as my everyday econo car. The second one is for fun and to get the ladies.
I would look at Acura and Lexus - better reliability, still look cool and go fast.
a lot better options out there other than mercedes and bmw
Well, if you HAVE to be a girly man and drive a car, I'd go with the Beamer.
If you want the ladies (and have something that makes you feel like a man), buy a Chevy Silverado Z-71 Truck!! All women like trucks plus you can use it to hunt, tow a fishing or ski boat, tow a tractor, tow a trailer, tow a camper, pull your buddy out of mud when he gets his car stuck, etc ...
"You're a man -- you're 40!!"
Or, even better, a Ram.
"COME AFTER ME!"
"THAT'S GARBAGE!"
If you gotta have the "car" to get the ladies, save your money and start looking for the ladies elsewhere.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
E46 M3, FTW!
