Yeah it was $7,614 off.. it was tough to get that deal on a new one. haha.

Pretty expensive buy on yours. I didn't opt for the extended warranty as I guess I have too much faith in German engineering! I can't expect anything major failing in the time I own it, which will probably be less than the standard warranty anyways.

Exclamation New Jersey Photoshoot C320 Sport Sedan 4MATIC

Been seeing photoshoot threads....

I very seldom use the car and only use it in snow and winter.

Went to the garage, and whala!....the car started!

huh, well i'll be. they certainly don't have 4matic sport anymore. i wish they did. right now mb has nothing to compete with the audi a4 2.5 quattro or the bmw 325xi. i mean, unless you wanna get a wagon. (or did they get rid of the C-wagon in 2006 also?)

Btw, the combination of your license number with the plate color is, well, unfortunate.

4matic was only available on the C320 sport models during the 2003-04 (not 04.5) model years. It was never available on the C230. I believe the 4matic sport models had the standard car's suspension as well.

I've driven C230 Kompressor and C320, C240 luxury sedan loaners and the ride is so different compared to a sport suspension read features on post #6

Yes it's a 2003, and sport suspension was a standard feature.

I researched and called all New Jersey, New York and Penslyvania MB dealers for this specific model to suit my needs (sport & 4MATIC) and found a couple in MB Princeton, NJ, 60 miles from where I reside.








No C320 Sport 4MATIC's made in 2004. I'm lucky I guess....

The first time I saw a white C with "sport" on the side I thought Hmmmm, then it drives by & I see C320 & I notice the 4-Matic I thought it was someone playing around with the badges but my dealer confirmed it was legit. Nice pics, nice car, nice Porsche, nice boat, nice _ _ _ _ .

wow, nice! I never knew they had 4matic sport sedans...

they'd totally give audi a run for their money in that category. I wonder why MB didn't continue em?
