Ok so I'm really close to signing the paperwork on this car. That means I would have to sell my TL though.... I went and test drove it today and loved it!!


2009 Mercedes-Benz E350 with AMG Sport Package

 

sweeeeeeeeeeeet. I love the E class..

 

Buy it and sell the TL. Looks hawt.

 

that >tl

but can you afford it? realistically? without making big changes in your living? i ask cause you seem pretty young (yes im young too)

 

^I would most likely lease it, my payment would be $599 a month plus tax and stuff. I currently pay $627 for the TL so I would be right there payment wise. I don't know if this is what I really want though, I looked at new TL SH-AWD and I just couldn't see myself in it, other option in C300 or 335i Coupe.... I hate car shopping...

I'd owned the TL since brand new so I have had it for almost 4 years (In Oct 2009) and I am really getting that new car itch

 

MB ftw..for sure bro go with it

 

Life's short man. Go for it.

 

now that you mention the 335i...

 

decision decision decision

 

this is the one I would get. hardtop conv FTW

 

now if it was me I'd keep the TL. while the E a stunning car you'll be paying on it for awhile. the TL a reliable well built car. run it atleast till it's paid off then go shop for a new car. payments FTL.

 

your 23- get the 335i convertible and have fun!

 

As good as that white E class with AMG package looks, I think at the 335i vert would be a more thrilling choice.

 

i like the car, but seems kind of an older man's car for you at 23. i'd get a 335 too.

 

That E is amazing but I would go for the 335 Convert too unless you have a family or something.

Oh, 627 a month for the TL, wow! I wasnt thrilled about my payment for 324 a month on the TL

 

fawkin suite car

 

Nice MB

 

335i for sure bro!!!

 

you are 23.

 

on second thought, just get it.

you'll have one of the last good looking E classes until who knows when.

 

Eh, I'd look at the C63 with track package (or whatever they call it)

 

e-class is win, i love sedans myself.. e-class lowered with 20's is just pure sex...

 

I'll be the conservative person here and say keep your TL and save your money. You're young, already have a nice car that is still running fine, and have a lot of other stuff to look forward to. I know it's tempting, but look at the situation realistically.

 

Save your money. I'd sell the TL still and get into something cheaper. You're paying way too much a month on cars.

 

Remember, that a new model E class is about to be released and this body style will take a huge hit on resale..you may want to wait

 

Exactly. If it were me, I'd either wait for the new E-class or buy the 335 convertible.

 

You could buy a new car, or put that extra money away and in over a year, I bet you could almost pay a monthly mortgage (depending on where you live). The TL is already a great car, so in this case...potential house > car. You'd be way ahead of many people your age.

 

Don't be foolish, cars are nice but they are ALL bad investments. Any car you buy will depreciate but a house will always maintain value (nevermind the current market, but it will increase in value eventually). Owning a home >>>> a nice car.

 

Don't lease.....ever.

 

Wise words there.

 

Thanks guys for all advice, especially the ones who suggest buying a home, right now I would not be able to afford a mortgage though, but that is definately in my plans for the next couple years. I agree with the fact the MB E-class is more like an older persons car, I think I am just going to keep the TL and see what happens but most likely next car will be a bimmer (335i Coupe or Conv)...
