How do I tell if my Starmark C240/6 speed has sport package or not?
It has every option that was available on the year of manufacture as far as I can tell.

Here's a pic of a 2001 C320 with the sports package. Maybe it will help as there's lots of detailed pics. Didn't know they didn't have Sport badges on the side back then.

What are the main differences between sport package and standard sedans? Other than the wheels? Are the brakes different as well?

Here's a check list:
Do you have 5-spoke wheels?
Do you have aluminum trim in the cabin?
Are your door handles the same color as the rest of the car?
Some more subtle things.
Charcoal full leather
Blue tinted glass.
Car sits about one inch lower.
High performance tires.
If yes to all of these than you probably have a factory Sport package. You should be able to use the VIN to find out how the car was originally equipped.
