Post help?

hello all,

im in a tough spot right now, for you see i have ordered a c320 and it is due to arrive on the 9th of january. well the situation is this, with the upcomming release of the c230 kompressor sedan with sports package included and the re-offering of the sports package should i wait? i really like the bumpers, window tint, and sports seats that the sports package includes, but ive been waiting for the longest time (3 years) should i wait? i would appreciate your responses..

If I were you, I would just stick with the C320. It is a very nice car, and you can always do your own mods to make it look more sporty. And you can just do black window tint which looks better on most cars. What color combo are you getting?

It depends on what you like. I really liked sports package so I had to have it. I love my brushed aluminum trim and blue tinted glass, sports seats...hehe.

Would you rather wait longer to just to get A car, or would you rather wait to mod the one you can get in a couple weeks? If you're willing to wait, you can save some money on the C230. But I love white and that C320 should look good with the C4.

i say stick with the current choice. It's not like you are choosing between C240 and the upcoming C230k sedan. You can always get springs, rims, and bodykit yourself in the future.

if you really want the sport pkg. you should ask the dealer how soon will the re-offered sport pkg cars arrive. If it's not too long wait for it.

If you were going to add something later, you could add the AMG bodykit and it would look like a C32. Either one of these would by pricey. The sport package kit might cost more, cuz i think you can only get it from a dealer. There are other places to get AMG kit.
