Still order a 2005 C230K?

Hi. Is it still possible to order a 2005 C230K in the US. Or is it too late? Thanks.

If you go to the MBUSA website and can still find it on the options, then I would assume that you can still order it. The simplest thing to do though is just call a dealer and ask.

yes you can still order one. go to MBUSA.com and either:

a) find the color and options you want, print it out and bring it to the dealer

b) order the car off MBUSA.com

You need to wait a few more weeks and see what the numbers are gonna be on the '06.

well...

I spoke with a MB product specialist at a media event this past weekend and according to him the only changes to the 06 models will be the addition of the C350 lux and sport models as well as the deletion of the C320's. All sport models will continue to carry the AMG bodykits and C230k, and C240 models will also continue.

This is different info than what has been talked about recently on our boards, but the opinion of MB seemed to be - add competition where they need it, at the high end, but leave the good stuff alone. He also noted that MB would be fools to strip the AMG body enhancements after one year since they've attributed to the rise in sales of the C (along with incentives and lease deals, I'd imagine).

If you want a C230k and cant find one you'd like on a lot, it would probably be a non-issue to order one. Doesnt seem like they want to change too much for the last year in this w203 model cycle.

Thanks to everyone for the info. If I go with the C230k I'd probably order since I want a 6 speed and am fussy about color, and the few six speeds I see around (Upstate NY) are either black or silver.

How much is good deal for a 2005 C230K sedan? I know that base is around 30K, would the dealer come close to invoice (28K)?
