I read that the last W203 rolled off the assembly line on Thursday the 14th, it was a silver C230. They have a picture and article on german car fans. Is that possible? If so yours must have been one of the very last made.http://www.worldcarfans.com/news.cfm...eries-produced
They build the C-class in 2 plants in Germany. They just ended production in 1 plant. I assume that they are retooling the plant posted in that article to make the W204.

hknladdr,
Thanks for posting the pic. I think it looks more blingy which is nice. I don't want to modify my car much at all really but price depending I might be interested in getting my OEM's chromed up. Thanks! I would get that option if I were you because not many people would have that mod. Good luck and thanks again for the pic!

Damn, got a quote for the factory wheels chrome plated from the dealer, and they want $1295 I think I will just get a local place to do them when I replace the 1st set of tires.

Man, the wait is killing me. Just got an update from my dealer today, but it wasn't good news.
The car was finished 4 weeks ago and has been sitting at the port waiting to get on a ship. The latest is, it is STILL waiting to get on a ship. So, best case scenario is 4 weeks

If I had known that the 2005's were gonna have upgrades in a few months after I got my car, I would've negotiated even lower.

I got my car for 36K out the door (including tax title licensing). That was below the list price of the car, so I figured I got a good deal, since it had lighting package, comfort package and premium audio. I probably could've negotiated lower, but didn't want to hassle with it.

Well, the crossfire is the old SLK with cheapened materials. So, you can tell him that you're driving what everyone else will be able to get 10 years from now.

Well, the car finally arrived and I picked it up last night!
This is my 1st Benz, and so far I am VERY pleased with the car.
I'll post some pics as soon as the weather breaks, as it is raining and the car is dirty as hell already.
I will keep this as "my" thread and post all pics and mods here

Diamond Black If they had it when I ordered my car, that's what I would have. Has Dark Blue metallic pieces so the car changes color in different light.
You want to change the thread title? Let me know if you want to and what you'd like it to say. - drex
