C320 CDI Estate, E500 4M Wagon
Buying slightly used W203

Just finished searching for a couple hours - great site as usual. I have a 2005 E wagon and now picking up a C wagon - probably the C220 (Euro Spec - 52 MPG). I see that 05 is the facelifted model but need to compare, I'm not familiar with the changes. From what I just learned, the 04's and beyond solved the tranny fluid/oil mix issue and many other gremlins.

Hoping to buy an '05 like this one:

Any advice appreciated. I'm not very familiar with all the options available, on the 05 for instance. Are there different seats on the sports models? Any rear climate control options? Rear window shades available? I assume the phone/NAV/settings loop system is similar to the one in my E? Is there a Harmon-Kardon option? These have the add-on Ipod connector with in-speedo readout like in my E?

Thx,

Smash
