New here need advice
Hey guys i am new here i would like to ask for some of you're expertise i am in the market for a c230 kompressor however i live in lebanon here the cars are more expensive then in the states i have two options:
first option is 2001-2002 c230 kompressor the price is btw 17k-18k however these models didnt come with amg kit and 17" rims.
second option is 2005 c230 kompressor the price is btw 23-24k sport package amg kit and 17" rims i am leaning toward the second option
i dont want a v6 i want a 4 cylinder for fuel economy this is a Daily driver guys keep in mind if you could give some of the pros and cons of both models i have never owned a mercedes so any info is much appreciated thanks.

Buy the 2005 - Fit pigtales in case the camshaft sensors leak & enjoy - what mileage have they done?

I bought my 05 C230 last July with 25,000 miles. Today it has 44,000. I consider this to be a good mileage range on a car that's 4 years old now.

I liked the smoother 1.8L M271, but I've heard people on this board say the older 2.3L M111 is more durable. One didn't seem any quicker than the other to me. I have silver, but that wasn't my first choice. I liked Mars Red best.

03 c320 coupe
Im in lebanon too Kooxs.. theres no amg kit on the 2005 c230, most of the kits you see are made locally, custom made to look like amg's and they are not good quality...
if you're looking for a good mileage, then u should get the 2003 coupe instead of 2002... some will say its less reliable (i have no idea)...
DONT BUY a car without a CARFAX...
i had my c320 shipped from the usa just because nearly all the dealers in here (leb) refused to provide a carfax... so the car could have salvage title, modified mileage and .......
anything else, dont hesitate to pm me...
