Hello all. new member here.

Greetings Ladies and gentlemen!

I am not a mercedes owner (though, one day I hope to own one), but a huge admirer.
Also given that a good friend of mine is a huge fan of mercedes ( you know, one of those people who are bleeding with small mercedes logosб when they cut ) and a mechanic I am exposed to the Mercedes world of luxury / speed and sexy designs on pretty much daily basis.

Right now i'm driving a lowlife scion tC.. which is being put back to stock and I am on the fence between going for a used G35 coupe or getting a Mercedes...don't even know what models to look at here. my friend is suggesting to go for an old C class( 00-02), which I would rather not do so I could drive something newer and warrantied etc. Working in a company that pays under 50K/yr its a tad hard to find a good car..
but between me doing some IT work, photo / design, translation and Full time work, I should be able to save up for some good downpayment to have reasonable payments.

my main reason for registering here is to learn more about the whole world of the upper class vehicles, see what are the differences pros and cons, meet new people, and, possibly, make some trades
If anyone is cruious to see my tC, i'll be more then happy to post pictures.

I suggest you spend your stimulus check on a new wardrobe consisting of
a hardhat or tinfoil of your choice, bulletproof vest. a cup and hip waders
this should prepare you for now.

PS
Welcome! LOL

You are very welcome here. My attempt at humor has eluded you ( and others)

I hope you've lurked around a bit to see the personalities in here. Usually a newbie doesn't start off in OT.

How much do you want to spend? If we know your price range we could probably be more help. Please do not post a picture of a non-Mercedes car, it will only result in your being verbally abused. There was a guy named GMISBEST here, but I think he has been killed. Here is the strategy you should use for OT: get our advise on what car you can afford, then go to the forum that specializes in that type of car. Get out of OT as soon as you can, there are wars going on here, and cruelty and viciousness knows no bounds here. This is the back alley of the Internet, we use broken bottles and lead-filled socks on each other, and we never talk about cars.

Welcome to BenzWorld Foques! Yes, all are welcome here, but you seem to have inadvertently stumbled into the BW Psych Ward. Try posting here (General Mercedes-Benz) if you want to learn a bit about Mercedes and have your inquiries taken more seriously: General Mercedes-Benz.
