why only a few days to decide?

Have you gone to the Mercedes International Site and then to the German Homepage and checked out the new 2008 C-class do out in the second half of the year. Bigger then the current model there wil be a 450h.p. AMG plus a range of v6's up to around 270h.p.
Build quality and handling should be much better then these 203, and 208's.

An AMG will take a beating on the horrible roads leading into and out of the New York area.

If you need to ask if you should get an AMG it probably means (my opinion) you should avoid it.

have you browsed these forums and gotten familiar with the problems Mercedes has been having in the past few years? seems that by 2005 the cars have been sorted out in a major way. 2003 model year is a sketchy model to aquire.

Diversifiedauto is a freakin Suzuki dealership, don't by a Mercedes from them.

Dude, trust me on this, go to your nearest BMW dealership and check out a new 3 series coupe, or live big and admire the new X5 - big money but very nice. Or else wait for thr new C-class, wild looking.

If you buy one of the Mercedes you've provided links to you'll regret it. Go spend your money on a mechanical Swiss watch and a deSede leather couch.
