Thanks guys, I seriously had the hardest time with this, I flipped back and forth between cars for a good couple of weeks. The BMW face lift on the sedan made it look much better, and I was ALMOST sold on it after going to BMW Gallery to check it out. First time I ever got service there. Before that, I was almost sold on the IS250 because of its price and F-Sport line. But the C just looks sooo much better than those. The interior is top notch too. Only other car that looks just as good is the A4, but the residual value isn't as good as the BMW or the C Class. In the end, luxury, comfort, and all round driving characteristics came out on top. I couldn't wait for the 2010, woulda pushed delivery until August

Yeah and August would have been just an estimate, you probably would be getting it in the fall

You can't beat the interior and with BMW reliability in the toilet recently I think you made a pretty sweet choice. Lexus is a bit overpriced for what you get IMO, same with Audi.

Good stuff with the job, you are going to be working downtown then? Me you and ET can do lunch when you start up once you get settled in!

Man, I don't know how much longer I will be downtown. I am hanging onto my job by a thread and all my "back up" prospects have fallen through. I would say that 4 out of 5 people I know in the industry are out of a job right now

Is a tough market out there!

You need to type a minimum of 12 characters to post... if your post is short like "Good" or "Deal", you can add that 12 chars to let it allow you to post.
