C-Coupe going the way of the Dodo ??
Was just browsing the mbusa.com website and noticed they no longer have info. on the C-coupe. I had no idea they were planning on discontinuing it. I have th 2005 C-class catalogue and it's listed in there.
Sorry, if I'm not up to date on this or if it's an old topic, but I don't always frequent the W203 forum.

Sales of the Coupe were actually fine, and the planned B series hasn't materialized because of said exchange rates, and, most likely, the drugs have worn off.

lol funny thread, but i'm now in the serious process of moving to a benz. I was wondering if anyone knows if there are any remaining 05 C230K SC in the country, as I'm considering one, brand new fully loaded, with the intention of getting a good deal on it. I test drove a SS and was incredibly impressed, especially with the new interior gauges and all. regardless, is it possible that if another nationwide dealer has one to my specifications that it could be transferred to a dealership near me. i looked at the 02 M111 Coupe, my cousin has one, but the interior of the new models really won me over. anyway, thanks for the help. im startin to think this should be a new thread..

'04 Mars Red C230K Sport Coupe (not Coup-EH)
This dude here at this thread just mentioned several SCs that he saw: https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/102844-anybody-need-c-coupe.html
I'd actually go for the 04 SC if you can find one. Good deal, and, most importantly, full maintenance, unlike the 05s. Plus, I'm not too big on the new center console. The gauges I like, but that Japanese-looking radio has to go. (Not that the 04 radio was much better in the sound department, but in the end it became much easier to swap out for something more decent).

PrsnBenz: Since you are still in the process of deciding, you may find the following link useful. I summarized my impressions of the 2005 Sports Coupe (some of which I had posted in various threads on this forum) in an Epinions review that you can find here. I have also included in that summary review comparisons I had made last Summer between (A) 2005 vs. 2004 coupes and (B) 2005 Coupes vs. sedans. Hope you find it useful

Go drive a Coupe. There's nothing else like it on the road. And you'll save about 7K over the sedan price(new).
