Folks, nevermind, i found the old thread. sorry for the trouble.
Mdx, this board with various discussion on equity, fun car to drive, most expesive cars, etc... already convinced me that i should keep the C240 no matter what. she drives 10k a year. We had it for 3 years. the steep depreciation for the first 3 years just took effect, the rest of the 10-12 years will be nice to have zero obligations on a monthly basis except for insurance. By that time, my daughter will turn 18. so she will be taking over before she decide what car is good for her. Element will be replaced in 2008 when lease ends and see what my options are for any 2007 new models at their 2nd year. X3 is a thought now based on size only.
