Default Which Car???

ok so i'm trying to decide on which car to get. I do have a 3yr.old daughter in a carseat, but that is not an issue since I'll always have access to a vehicle with a back seat. I don't want to go over $23,000..Car has to be either Black or Silver w/ Black Interior, Automatic w/ Sunroof/moonroof/targa top.... . anyways here are my picks

Mercedes C320
Corvette C5
Nissan 350z

I wouldn't get any of those with a kid. You'd be better off getting a G35 coupe over a 350z since it has a backseat. I just wouldn't put my kid in the front seat of any sports car.

The new C class is very nice, but I dont know if you will be able to get the new ones for under 23k. If you can, my vote goes for that. For some reason, I have never liked the 350Z, would much rather get the infiniti G instead. The vette ofcourse is the top dawg if you could really care less of a back seat.

The C5 seems like an easy choice to me. You should be able to get a low mile one.

That's an average deal.
Whenever I was looking for another vette, I found quite a few FRC's for around that price range.
Coupe's just don't do it for me.
I came within an inch of buying Pain's old FRC, but he was there and I'm up here and things didn't come together as planned.
Just keep your eyes pealed and definately go with the vette!
Not the fastest ride, but definately super-clean.
