Pros:
Very comfortable drive
It is powerful (above comments mentioning it isn't is totally crap)
Very stable
Elegant looks
Cons:
Heavy on fuel (calculated it to be around 6-7km/L in Islamabad)
With the range you have, the car you'll get will probably have around 1 lakh on the odo.
Im using the new civic nowadays, the only thing better about it as compared to Camry is its fuel efficiency & zero meter smell
Another person mentioned a Prado. I own that as well (2000 model). Its pretty heavy on diesel, & quite frankly, you should consider buying it ONLY if you're a die hard SUV fan (which im supposing you aren't)
The mark X with 3.0L engine is like a highway robbery of fuel. Consider it only if you can afford the high fuel cost.
I'd recommend a 2005 E class. C class is a small car, so if I were you, I would go for the bigger Camry instead (I know im gonna get criticized for this comment, but what can I say, I dont like the looks of the old shape C class, looks awkward to me. The new C class is out of the budget range). Coming back to the E class kompressor, it is very fuel efficient, & at the same time, produces very decent amount of power)
Your question on why Camry is top selling car in the US for this many years is highly valid! We cannot claim thousands of people buying Camry's as dumb! It's a very successful, popular & reliable vehicle (esp the model you're looking for).
Best of luck!
