C63s AMG, c230k
Just bought a c230

Hey all, wanted to say hey and look forward to learning a lot about this car. I’m not new to Mercedes coming from a 98 c350 to a 2011 sls amg then currently a c63s amg. And now my new daily a 99 c230k.
stats: bought it for $3400, original owner with 99k miles. A file an inch thick of all maintenance records with receipts. Took it for a test drive and drove very smooth, no rust anywhere. Engine bay super clean as well as under the car.

Very nice.
You'll like this kompressor. It's a fun, peppy ride. 123Kmi on ours. Runs very strong with the 18" shoes - still do the occasional burn outs with these kompressors.
Keep us posted on what you plan for it.

ive just done a little things here and there like blacking our the grill, clear side markers. Right now she’s in the shop getting the headliner redone. I do want to put new wheels/tires and lower it a bit.
