Hi, I'm a college student and I'm trying to get a car
because I can no longer live without a car in this little town.
The budget is $40K, and I planning to ride this at least for
7 years.
I was planning to get a new C-300 sedan, but SLK
always has been my dream car, and it looks like
I can get a certified pre-owned SLK-300 from 2009
with less than 10K mileage with the money.
I'm going to be driving more 7 years and buying
a new C class seems to be the answer, but
I really want to ride SLK, although its pre-owned.

Here's the question: New C-300 sedan or certified pre-ownded SLK-300 (2009, less than 10K mileage?)

 

If you are a college student how do you have a 40k budget?
