I've been mulling the idea of a certified pre-owned 525i, to get a little extra room (the other possibility is using the Camry for weekends with the kids, and just driving the 325i during the week [oh yeah, mom can get behind that!
)
Was doing some research at Edmunds.com, and was very surprised that they recommended Mercedes over BMW for a used car:
"Luxury Car: 1996-2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class What? We chose a C-Class over a BMW 3 Series? Yep, the baby Benz offers more rear-seat passenger room along with a more luxurious cabin. Those looking for a sportier driving experience would be better served by the Bimmer. But if its upscale ambiance and Mercedes-Benz vault-like build quality you're seeking, the C-Class is the one to get."
Not knocking Mercedes, but I've heard all kinds of people saying that they 'ain't what they used to be' - so why would you buy a used one ?
