C230 For C32
Guys i have been thinking that for the price i paid for my used C230 SS I could have gotten a used C32 for something near it. Im now wanting to sell my c230 and buy a c32. My question is should i do it for a 2002 or 2003 model? Can someone point me in the direction to which i can find used ones on here for sale?

I along with Rlee did the same thing.
The newer the better as options like bixenon and a air con unit that looked a little more updated were available. Also nav tends to be a better chance on later models. One advantage is that 02's is that white was a more popular color. Also 04's will still have the warranty intact. & that means free service

a C32 AMG & S-Works Tarmac
Which ever year, the C32 is an awesome choice. Just make sure that, 2002 or 03 or 04, it has some sort of warranty. They will all have some sort of issues that cost a boat-load of money.

You got a good deal, I would just keep it. I remember reading somewhere that you are 15 years old. So when you go to are going to college at 18, your car would only be 4 years old. It would be under warrenty a lot longer. If you got a 2003 c32, it would be 7 years old already by the time you are done with high school. I wouldn't do it as power isn't everything although it is nice to have.

I've been thinking to get a white 2003 C32 myself, but not sure if it's worth it to get it since all the 2003s I found have alot more mileage (7X,XXX KMs in AVG) than my 04 C230 (41,XXX KMs) and I'll probably have to add extra 10-12Gs for the trade in. Adding more than 12 Gs is just too much for me ,that's why I don't look for +04s. What do you guys think?

another thing to consider is gas consumption, my c32 only gets 2/3rds the mileage my C230 did. So watch out. But I figured it would cost me a couple hundred bucks a year more. My insurance was about the same. I pay 60 a month for 100/300.

The thing is I've been looking for white color and NO LUCK! All I found were silvers and some blacks.BTW, I thought my warranty will be expired at 50K?I guess I'll have to read my warranty book.
