Did c280 sports have factory xenon option??
I recently found a c280 sport that Im going to look at on monday, Im curious if it may have self leveling xenons?, because I noticed it has headlamp washers which Ive never seen on a c280, and makes me think it may have xenons as well. Was this a option offered on the c280? I don't want to ask the guy cause it may be more ammo for him to hold on his price.
Here's the car: Its a 2000 Model.

That is a C280 Special Edition. I had the same car (which my son now has). The SE cars were produced at the last of the W202 model run and included several option packages like the Sport Package, CD Player/Integrated Phone Package, Nappa leather with contrasting stitching, etc. Headlight washers were not included. The could be ordered as Package C1 - Heated headlight washers and rain sensing windshield wiper. There is also a Special Order Option for Xenon HID headlamps with auto leveling. Just because the car has the headlight wipers does not mean it has HIDs. They were separate options.

Thanks guys, Vince C, you seem to know quite a bit about the options. I wonder if there is a factory list that could be dug up listing all the W202 options available back in the day, would be cool to see. Anyways, checked out the car today, seems to be very well kept. Only issue is a sagging moonroof cover, but the guy will not budge on his price, going to see if my buddy can check it out at his shop this week.

I'd like to see those brochures transcribed as well!
I have a pair w202 xenons with ballasts for sale, let me know if you're interested in them.
They are Bosch retrofits, but don't have self leveling or headlight wipers
