$4,900 · 2002 Mercedes C240 Elegance, 2 Owners, Dealer Serviced, 178,000km.

This might be the nicest car I've ever owned. It's a wonderful car, reliable, economical, but full to the brim with Mercedes luxuries and accoutrements. Just recently spent over $2000 making it perfect - control arms/ball joints, tie rods, alignment and new airconditioning were all done less than three weeks ago. It runs like a dream and looks at least as good as it runs. The original indigo paint gleams like only European original paint can, and the body, for a 24 year old car, is a solid 9/10. Really nothing to fault this car on. Being a European sport sedan, it's fantastic on the highway, but won't bankrupt you at the gas pumps either. Might consider partial trade for an old work truck.
