OFFICIAL SO YOUR TIRED OF YOUR C230 TIME TO MOVE ON AND SELL IT What Are My Options ?
Yep Its time now I am officially tired of my C230. I am planning on selling in 2 weeks and move on to another car. I want to stay in the Mercedes Benz but I feel like a C-Class had just became to common on the streets. I mean everybody has one. I need something that I can enjoy more. I been through alot in my c230 its a nice car, but I am just bored with it. I guess this is bound to happen with just about every car, except a convertible probaly. SO how do you guys feel about your c230 ? Whats your next car ? Give some overall imput about your new options and the way you feel about your car overall. I am looking to purchase either an BMW Z4, or X-Type Jag. What do you guys think ?

welcome back C230_617... I thought you were gonna get a Porsche Boxster? Hmm... The Jaguar is a POS, but since you're buying pre-owned it's well within your price range. The Z4 looks like **** so you can probably call it the "ultimate car" like your ugly *** plain black coupe.

So nobody is feeling the Jaguar X-Type. Its AWD which is a plus. The woodgrain looks amazing. The looks are pretty stunning also. And their relatively inexpensive. Plus got better ratings than a Mercedes based on consumer reports in quality. What do you guys think ?

2006 C230 2.5 V6
BMW 325/330 would be my recommedation. I had a 2002 330Ci (2 Door) nice power good ride, plenty sporty and tons of upgrades available. After that I got a 2005 BMW Z4 3.0, I was really disapointed. Power handling were fine, lots of road noise at highway speeds not up to par with the 325/330's. I now have a 2006 C230 w/2.5 V6, 7g. I love everything about the car except it's a little shy on power and when rounding an intersection turn it doesn't drop down enough gears to pull alway smoothly unless I give lots of throttle. I found 3 new 2005 C320 sports I think I might give the 230 to my wife and get the 320 for myself. C350's too much gelt for me.
Audi A4 is another great car I'd recommend I had a 2001 S4 6 speed absolutely a terriffic automobile in every possible way. If front drive torque steer bothers you as much as me get a quattro verson. Any engine they offer is stellar with lots of mods available. I personally don't like the CVT transmission get the 6 speed or the tiptronic/quattro you won't be dissapointed.
Hope this helps!
