Tough question..It all depends on your dealer. My dealer doesn't care that I am modded at all. I am leasing and I have changed my exhaust, rear diffuser (bumper trim), BMS Tune + intake, added spoiler and few other goodies. I have already did my 1st schedule service and have came back to the dealer a few more times for other annoying issues.
I have leased cars for the last 10 years and never had a problem with a dealer and my modifications... Well one time i was extremely lowered and asked for an alignment and they refused because my car was so slammed that it couldn't go up the lift ramps. You should be ok.

If you can get a good deal on a 2013 I would make that move. Some of the members on the forum have went from a 2012 to a 2013 c250, and they have stated the transmission is much better on a 2013. Much more responsive.
If you want a v6 you can find deals on 2012 c350s now. Much better deals on c250s.

I have no problems with my car. I just wish the Lighting Package (Bi-Xenons) were available and not on back order when I bought my car in August 2011. Besides that I have no problems, and it fits my needs as a daily commuter to and from work, and occasional weekend runs.

2013 C250 Coupe
You can get a good deal on a C250 coupe. I just bought one for my wife 3 weeks ago. I got just over 6k off the msrp of $44k. that included the holiday cash. I already lowered it on 19's. It looks great and is a great little car. It drives nice too.

Yeah the deals are great now. I was just at my dealer testing a 12 E550 4matic and my sales guy buddy was trying to talk me into informing people on their good deals on c250s. They have a 12 coupe on the showroom floor went from 44K to 35k new. He said iin April, the deals are even better. I can't wait for the new body style E class to come out and then they drop the prices of the 2012 E class sedans and coupes.

C Coupe
If my car was leased at dealership A and taken to dealership B for service, would dealership B make note in my "record" that I have certain mods on my car? As long as I don't take it to the dealership where I leased my car at, I don't see why dealership B would care if my car was modded or not... Is this correct?
