2006 C230 Interior Night pics...

Hello I am going to be getting a 2006 C230 and I can't find any pictures of what the interior looks like at night. I would really appriciate it if someone could post some night time interior pictures of this car or tell me where I might find some. Thanks!

if i would buy a car ... i wouldnt be concerned with how it looks at night. as a driver you shouldnt be looking at how nice all the lights glow up an night but rather the road. also your passenger maybe make a short glimbs, but thats about it. IMO the mercedes interior is the most elegant which probably provides the nicest interior at night compared to the sporty middle console from audi with red little lights.

the tachometer lights up white which i love ... and the middle console more like orange which is okay too.

i think you dont have to be concerned with it looking like ****.

i would take a picture for you, but unfortunatly the car isnt anywhere close to where i am - sorry

I took this a while back. As you can see the tech and speedo light up in white, and the rest of the switches and buttons light up in yellowish orange. I hope this helps.

The C230 has an excellent appearance at night. Most of the buttons glow at the same intensity (if you look at some other previous Mercedes cars, the air conditioner and the radio control panels have different shades of orange lighting) and colour.

As for the actual lights themselves, the reading lights on the Lexus IS is super cool, they're really white instead of amberish. The BMW 3 series lighting is nice, but overall the interior in my opinion is not as beautiful as the C's.

I know it's summer but go to the dealership early in the morning or just before closing time and have them turn off the lights in the showroom so you can see the interior of the car at night. It's not an unreasonable request. They might think you're weird but you can tell them that you are more discerning and detail oriented than they are and that'll shut them up (pardon my language).
