I'm not up to date but if I was MB I wouldn't sell ...
It's still a quality, low mileage, highly desirable car that's been cared for over the last 5 years.
Plus I'm of the opinion that you should buy a car as a "positive" action of wanting a new car that you've already identified rather than a "negative" action of wanting out of the current ride.
Reason 1: You jump too quickly to car that you might not really really want in the long term. - eg "if only I'd waited 6 months for the manual rather than this Tip/Auto !"
Reason 2: Unless the car is a real load of crap (and MB's isn't) then a few weeks of trouble free motoring reinstates confidence in the car.
Then, if you still want out, go for it when the time and car is right for you - however that may be determined.

I agree with you and the good news is...
I won't be even getting in the possibility of new car purchase until some point December when I go home for Winter Break, so I'll have a while for my car to reinstate the love

when I move out my dad comes up with an SUV to help. I just need enough storage space to get home with golf clubs, computer(s), and laundry
