Newb here..with pics

Hello all!

Thought I would say hello and you'll probably find me browsing around in here a lot from here on out....

2004 C-230, 30K miles; Just traded the Accord for it, the color completely sold us on the car! We love it!

I am already eyeing up a CL grill!

2004 C230's came with the AMG 4-piston calipers up front. For 2005, the went with a 2-piston setup. Also nice is that you have the free scheduled maintenance for 4yrs/50,000 miles, something M-B got rid of for the 2005 model year.

Congrats on your new car, and welcome to the Forum. You'll find a lot of friendly people here !!

BTW...nice color. I have an '05 with the next step up blue in darkness (Capri Blue).

Was a 2006 Accord, very nice car, no complaints besides uncomfortable seats, just was not exciting to drive or own.

You think? Curious why you say that? I am fairly confident it will be reliable (cross my fingers). The car was previously owned by the service manager at the Mercedes dealership I bought it from, so it was well cared for.

I have always had good luck with cars, heck I drove a 1998 F-150 216K miles without any problems!
