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!

I can only answer #3. H7 will work for the low beam and high beam. The fog lights are HB4 or 9006.

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....

Do you have WinZip installed? I want to zip the document (it's 5 mb) to make it smaller.
