2002 C230 Coupe Black/Charcoal C5 C7 Auto
should have my '02 C230 Coupe next week!!questions
i'm doing lease $3k down and 39mnth/15k mi for $450 a month. I know its about the same for 03 but really wanted the 2.3L and also the car has to be shipped from GA or AK (black/charcoal, C5, C7, auto). I have a few questions...
1) I have beautiful mint cond. Flik Lex 17x8 wheels w/ yokohama AVS 235/40/17s from my A4. They are 5x112 and 35 offset I believe so I think they should fit the c coupe correct? I heard I may have to get different hubcentric rings (spacers?)
2) I opted not to get the 6 disc changer (dealer install like $700). I figure I'd get the Audio 10. Can I find one for about $300? I figure install shouldnt be more than $100. $400 total realistic?
3) I have nice H7 white bulbs from the A4 that I used. They should work for low beam in c coupe correct? what about the fog? H7 or H1 or ??
Thanks guys. I know its a lease but I figure I can do minimal customization and just take them off when my lease is up. Any input is appreciated!

Where did u buy your car from.
I just picked up an 02 C230K with c5, c7, silver/charcoal, auto.
It cost me 365 a month 0 down.
Is the base price higher on 03 now?
I wanted the bigger engine too, thats why I decided to get the car on the lot.

you can easily get an audio 10 w/ shipping & wire transfer for $270. you can also install it yourself; it's pretty easy. just check out my install thread; it's linked plenty of times around here if you look for it.

I totally agree with Session. I just got mine from eBay.de for $259 (shipping included). It took 1 week to get here and I installed it last Saturday. The installation is pretty straight forward thank to the awesome instructions that Session posted.
I compiled them on a Word document (I can send it to you if you want) because it's easier to print and share with others (session is quoted as the author).
Just let me know....
