C300 Coupe. 2022 3,770 miles on odometer. Still under factory warranty.
Traded the Toyota Crown for it. Even up trade pretty much. Paid cash, and that is a first for me on a car of this caliber. Taking that $540 monthly I was paying on the Toyota and putting it into a Roth.

If I may ask, what was the reason for the change? Wanted a smaller car?

The Toyota Crown is very nice. For a Toyota. It misses the mark for me with too many bugs in the electronics and software. It's ride is compliant and smooth but a little too cushy and a little too loose feeling for my taste. It doesn't feel as confident in the handling department as I would prefer. It's increased height doesn't contribute to great handling characteristics. It doesn't "feel" like a Mercedes.
I gave it a try. It was a nice car but one that I knew I wasn't going to keep long-term. I lost a few dollars in depreciation but that is always the case when buying a new car.
I wanted to pay it off to stop the interest payout monthly, but I didn't want the car.
I just wanted to be back in a Benz. I have been driving them since I was 25 years old. I have had many models in various vintages. I just sold my 2005 S500 that served me well for 13+ years and 100k+ miles. We didn't need 3 cars. We still have a 2021 Subaru CrossTrek.

Oh Lord won't you buy me a Mercedes Benz?
