C230x ???

Hi Guys,

I'm a 1st time MB owner, so excuse my lack of knowledge, but I recently leased a 2005 MB C230X 4 door sedan, 6-speed manual. My question is, what are the differences (if any) between the C230X and C230K OR is there even a C230X because I can't find any info on it anywhere ??

One thing to keep in mind is I haven't actually gotten the car yet, waiting for it to be delivered to my dealer from Halifax because apparently it's the only 6-speed manual left in all of Canada, so I'm wondering if the sales rep made a mistake, or maybe there is a mistake in their computer system because she showed it to me on the computer and it DID say C230X ..

Thanks in advance,
Boss

It would be a C230K, there is no C230X.

Actually, I asked the SR today. She said that's an "internal code" that they use to distinguish between different cars. How do I find out if it's W203WZ ??

Also, I verified with the SR that it's a Black on Black..but she said that from the gearbox all the way up to the screen/command area is all wood trimming...is that normal ?? because on the MB site, when I check out the interior pics of the black on black, i don't see any wood trimming.

If it really does have a wood trim, I think I'm going to want to remove it, cause I'm not sure that would look good, although i haven't even seen it yet :P

1) You're in Canada; different built than US.
2) If you're not sure what you're getting you better find out before its to late instead of asking questions with the limited info you're providing.

I have this version as well. In Canada, they have the C230 coupe, the C230 luxury sedan, and finally, the C230 sports sedan..What you're getting is the C230 luxury sedan...The interior trim comes with wood...the rims are not the same as the sports sedan...go to mercedesbenz.ca to see actual pictures...and also, the suspension is softer than the sports sedan for a more comfortable ride.

Ya I checked the site, but the interior pics on the site look all black. I don't see any wood trimming, UNLESS the wood trim is a charcoal color (which would be awesome) vs a regular wood color. Can you post some interior pics of yours by any chance ?

you're getting a Luxury Sedan, when you thought you were getting a Sport Sedan.
