This is after my 300SD sat in a friend's driveway with a broken transmission for two months while my 300E blew a coolant hose and stranded me with no transportation (my bike was even broken...). Anyways, long story short I had a wake up call and realized I needed something more reliable that will last me for a good solid 10 years at least as a DD. I closed the deal this morning.

Sounds like you got car fever and justified the purchase. One never HAS to buy new. I always invoke the "am I willing and able to write a check for the entire purchase price" test.
If I can't write a check, that means I can't afford it. If I won't write a check, that means I don't want it bad enough. Another way to say it is it isn't worth the price to me.
Blown coolant hose is a sign of deferred maintenance.
