'06 E350 Iridium Silver with pano
bi-xenons are a must. compare with it and without it. there is a big difference and definitely worth the ugraded lighting package.

You should get about $1500 off MSRP for this 2006 C230.

I'd take the 06 C230.

From my experience their is a noticeable difference in the driving feel and quality feel with these new facelift models with the new V6s. Even better with a 7 speed auto unless you really prefer manuals!

More direct handling, steering, braking, etc. Interior is up a notch in quality and generally feels like a better car. I would choose this over whether or not it's fully loaded. You can always add goodies as time passes if you must.

just my 2 cents!

2008 . RX 350.
new C-class will be 2008, so you may get it late 2007.
plus give it 2 years till they fix all bugs. and now 2005.
3-4 years , go get 2006 and then (if still want it) you can get 2009 C.

I agree about the handling and the interior materials. The facelifted cars are just plain better.

Get the manual transmission. The extra gear can't make up for how uninvolving the automatic is.

Well local places are doing 1.2k back of DEALER COST so I would push harder than that.

There is no lease program for the 2006's so they will be stacking up really quick as soon as the 2005's are gone.

They are dealing big time on the 2006 cars because they cost way too much to lease.

Wrong !

Coupe's do not come with AMG front bumpers.
It's a PHOTOSHOP of the previous picture.... removed star / replace with badge / and photoshopped grill. See post # 16.
