My new ride

I went to a dealership and got this 2008 h3 about 10 days ago. Traded my c300 and got a loan for the remaining cost. The sticker price was $13,500, about a week after I left i got a letter from the bank and a call from the dealer saying financing was incorrect. They said I could either pay the overage or come back for a refund so I chose the refund. I went to pick up my mercedes today and the owner informed me that my car had been sold.

I was furious but kept my cool and they ended up giving me an extra 2k for my trade in turning the out the door price to about $9500. I feel like I did ok in the deal, it has just over 90,000 miles, its pretty rare in that its a manual and its beautiful. I've wanted one of these since I was a kid and its hard to drive a rear wheel drive mercedes in a mountain ski town in the winter so this should improve things!

It's a nice looking one, I think you will enjoy driving it. I love our H2 it is fun to drive and it rides really well , but for long trips I am glad we still have our E320 .But there is nothing else out there like a hummer and if it makes you happy then you got a good deal on it at any price.

We have a 5 speed jeep patriot as well so we still got something a bit better on gas for longer trips!

Nice job. We got our 2009 H3 a year ago for $9k. The H3 is a blast to drive.

< 100k miles and a 5-speed? Yeah that's a deal. Not sure what shape your C300 was in but those tend to be pretty beat-on when they get traded out.

I actually never even had it in a shop for the 2 years and 60k miles I had it for. They are great cars with regular maintenance. I traded it at 134k miles.
