$6.75 is not a lot for shipping...
...When I had to spend $350 last month on shipping a small package, express to London... that is a lot for shipping

2002 C230 K
I ended up buying two of the Maisto 1:18 scale Coupes. A silver one and a Capri blue one with C7 rims. I then switched the bodies so I had a model more closely resembling my actual car. I also painted the black door handles silver to complete the transformation to C7.
Interestingly enough, the silver one was a manual (pedals and shifter) while the blue one was an automatic and had the COMAND system - both were cloth interiors (maybe someday I'll paint mine to look like leather). I had to switch the silver car's interior as well to the C7 chassis (manual with no COMAND). I don't recall the steering wheels being different though (no C7 pleasure nubs), and the C7 chassis' exhaust still had a resonator, although the tip looked bigger (could have been a manufacturing variance and not an actual difference as the chromed parts looked to be the same on both models).
If anyone in the Bay Area wants an automatic, Capri blue C230K model with the double-spoke 16" rims - buy me a beer or two and it's yours.
Cheers, BT

Speaking of Buell and rims, I saw some chromed 16" Coupe wheels on a Citron green one at my dealer. Didn't look too bad (although I imagine they look better on a black car).

Best C models
IMO the best models of these cars are made in 1/87 (HO) scale:
- Herpa C Sportcoupé, magma red, panorama roof, regular wheels - just like our car
- Busch C sedan and wagon, Avantgarde and Elegance versions (correct wheels, of course).
Herpa also makes a sedan but to me it's not quite as good as the Busch.

I bought a Minichamps 1/43 scale c-coupe off eBay a little while back...it's pretty cool and comes in a box w/ the tri-star and is fully MB badged and such. I'll have to scan a pic of it because it looks pretty cool...

white and whiter
yep...Herpa makes great MB and BMW models. 1:87 scale. i have all their MB and BMW and Porsche models. each would run about 8 to 10 bucks or more.
check out www.herpa.de
Busch have some model that herpa doesn't have. imo that Herpa have better precision on scale or their parts. i only bought some Audi model that Herpa don't have.

OK, where do you get them?

2. You can mail order them (or online-order) from a German hobby specialist like Müller-Versand, Schweiger, etc.
3. Some model shops have them too, such as Wilkinson's Automobilia in Vancouver. I imagine there are lots of places like this in most cities.

Finally found a place that sells the 1/18 scale and in several color, will be ready next month, check it out. I did buy a 1971 Mach 1 Mustang from them, great model, getting models for car I have had and enjoyed.
