I drove an E320 CDI at the invitation of the local MB dealership.

I was in the market for a new car, had been saving for a while, and wanted something nice.

But they wanted so much - $56,000 sticker - and it would have been over $60,000 when it was all said and done after taxes and all the other crap.

So I bought a really nice 240D instead, and used the rest of the money on a down payment on the house I now live in.
