I am going nuts!!
2 things....One, I haven't slept well cuz I've been on this forum 
and on the calculator, and thinking about shifting #'s from my trade-in and hopefully, my new 2005 C230's MSRP/Invoice
Two, I've been lurking in the Classified section on this forum!!! (and I still haven't gotten my C yet!
!!!..(I have an appointment with the Benzo dealer today!!!), can't wait to get off from work and cash in the check!
Just gotta share my excitement with you guys/gals here (and THANKS SO MUCH for all your help with the ammo to see the dealers)

You have to mod, I think that is a rule around here! You will see what everyone else is doing and you will have to do it too. It is a sickness my friend, be prepared! :p

Brilliant Silver will always be a classic and nice looking color. Can't go wrong with that. And yes, you are smart for looking for models with the lighting and sunroof package. That's funny you mention that because, initially when I was gonna get the Granite Grey C, they told me it had the bi-x. When they called back a 2nd time, they told me it didn't have it and I immediately ordered my car...lol...I didn't realize how much money I had saved until I saw how much it was through Steve to purchase and install (plus the fact that the dealership told me bi-x had to be on the car already in order to have it and could not be placed on the car after-the-fact).
As for persuading you NOT to mod...wrong forum for you and wrong person to ask that...I tried to convince myself that I wouldn't mod this car, that it is great as is...in the beginning...now, I'm not even half-way with the mods I want to do. :v

A few weeks ago, I was thinking that I could get the 02 C32 close to $31k or so that had a trade-in of low $29k from KBB...never really pursued it any further due to expired warranty and wife didn't like it too much...but wow...i would've loved to have that too....
but the C32 you were looking at was an 04!!!...I would've gotten it for $100 bux more regardless of what the wife said!! :v hahaha

The thing is the $100 more per month was not taking into consideration increase in insurance (due to supercharged v6) and also gas guzzler fee in Cali..., plus adding on another 1 year and 1/2 of payments.
Basically, I'm barely making it work with my C230 (and other bills), so to add on that extra 1 bill would've killed me...LOL...oh well.
