2002 C230k - PLEASE need opinions

Hello Everybody... I am a newbie, and I really like the MB C220K, but need everyone's opinion/ This is going to be my first MB purchase Today I saw one at the dealer a 2002 Blue Evolutoin package C220k with white/biege interior. I test drove the car and I must say WOW I loved it ! My question is the car has 70,000 kms on it and they are asking for $23,500 CAD. I was wondering is this a good buy for that price, should I jump on it, o r should I wait a bit longer.


Any opinions would be greatly appreciated......looking forward to driving an MB.

Thanks

What is the advantage of waiting longer ? Do you expect to get a better choice of options in a similar car or lower mileage for the same price ?

2002 C230 Coupe(M111)
2002 and 2005 are the best years for Coupes. Being youre buying with funny money, I can't say if its a good deal or not. It probably is, but you'll need another Canadian to say yeah or nay.

Try MBKlasse

C230 Sport Coup + 2006 W164 ML350 + 99 Ford Escort RIP
Well those of us with coupes love 'em, but try to get some sort of warranty. Repairs can be very expensive.
Unless of course it's MBZ's money.
The coupe is a unique car in it's class with unique looks.
Safe, solid and a blast to drive. Also the 5 ft of storage in the back make it great for hauling mid-sized cargo's a sedan never could....
The 2002 has a 2.3L engine with more low end grunt than
all the came after due to a smaller engine, unless you find a C320 Coupe. (rare)
