I'm happy to hear that you will hold out for the right car. That's the best thing. Have you driven a 300ce? If you haven't, see if you can take one out for a road test to get a feel of how it drives. One thing I can tell you is that a 300ce with oem 15" rims with cheap tires will give you a much different impression of the car compared to one with 17" AMG rims for example, granted the suspension of both cars is in the same condition.
