Sold my 2005 C230 with only 5K miles for a 2003 C32 with 26K miles. One of the best decisions I have ever made. My pewter C230 was beautiful and I did love it very much, but flooring the gas pedal simply did not put a smile on my face like the C32 does. From now on, all my MB's will be AMGs. I did love the gas mileage my C230 got though. I would fill the tank once every two weeks or so. With the C32, I visit the gas station at least once a week or more. My factory warranty on the C32 expired a month ago, but I picked up a 4 year extended warranty for less than $3K. Now I can have fun without any worries......

he's talking about the model badges on the back of the car,
not the front hood emblem.

I beg forgiveness from the MOD GODS !

yeah, well, if there wasn't double threads, I wouldn't be double posting.

Thanks for merging.... this cleans up the forums tremendously, when all the new owner question threads are put together in one place.

I don't think he knows what he wants to get or if he got what he already "has." He will eventually learn that people won't take him seriously if he runs his mouth saying something different every day.
