Default My first Luxury Car at 24

So I had a 1995 Toyota Avalon since 2003 and it had 307,000 miles on it. I went to a used dealership with the bias of wanting a Lexus. But then I got introduced to Mercedes and I'm presently surprised. I bought a 2000 C230 Kompressor with 115k and it's absolutely solid. I know there are better luxury cars out there but for only being 24 and being able to afford financing on a car like this, I consider it a blessing and it's premium black gloss paint turn quite a few heads in only the 1 week that I've had it. The super charger makes it 0-60 in 7 seconds and feels a lot more solid than a Mustang and the previous owner had purchased it fully loaded. Now I just need to polish the leather and buy a new cd magazine for the changer. But I certainly feel I took a step up. Even the stock 8 speaker stereo system kicks *** and so does the gas mileage. Any advice on making it last and run like new would be appreciated!

Haha....Glad your so excited! Don'tbuy 87 octane gas go for the good stuff..91 or 93....same with oil go withMobile 1...slap some K&N filters on her and no lie you will hear her thanking you! If you really wanna get her frisky new plugs and upgrade the ECU. For the inside I would say stay away from [:'(]ARMORAL[:'(]....Leather CPR and Zymol are great. later
