William,

I will say this, I did not replace my C240 with another road car. My 300E now serves as my road car for my occasional trips to Kansas City (Over 400 mile trip.)

The car that I got is just another toy and not the kind of car that would be at all appreciated by most MB owners/drivers.

I probably won't have it long anyway because my daughter and wife both have gone bonkers over it and want it for their own.

Have a great day,
