Well after posting about the g35 and doing a little research I decided on the 300c. I am going to wait and order a 2006 but I have a few more questions for all the experts here. Im only 23 so besides a boat I bought this is going to be my largest purchase to date and I want everything to go right. I found out that my girlfriends friend sales mercedes so does anyone know if I could get a friends and family discount through her? Also for options I was going to get sunroof, woodgrain, and navagation but after reading some posts I decided agianst the sunroof and now I dont know if I would rather get the navagation or buy this aftermarket unit http://www.crutchfield.com/S-L5RXlU6P2un/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=168550&I=113DDX7015&search=kenwood and the last question is in regards to the color, my last 2 cars have been black and I love the color but its so damn hard to keep clean. I never liked silver cars until I saw a silver 300c but someone told me that silver paint fades worst than any other color of paint so if silver and black owners could give me some input I would appreciate it and lastly I am glad I found this site
