2002 C240 sport...on the Penske dealer lot

just thought this is interesting. On the day that I went to take the test drive for the C230k sedan, I found a 2002 C240 sport on their lot. At first I thought this must be a used car, but when I saw the window sticker I was very surpriced because the window sticker clearly prints 2002 C240 with Option: Sport pkg $3k dollars. The sales who I went to the test drive with didn't know where they got that car from too. It's brand new with those 16" 5-spoke wheels.

What's the interesting part? I guess it's just a leftover. Probably has a high sticker price for a C240 because of the sport package. Apparently there are still '02 C-coupes out there, and there are probably a few C240's left too.

Why would you want the sport package with the C240's weezbag engine?

I wouldn't. But if you're gonna get a C240, the sport package is still nice looking. I would only get it for looks, not for handling or anything like that. I don't think it's much sportier anyway.

I was trying to say it's interesting because some people said 2002 didn't offer sport pkg. Or is that 2003...?...aaaaah...nevermind...:p

I had a feeling that was what you were thinking, but I thought I would give you a hard time anyway. There was still a sport package C240 in '02, and they dropped it in '03.
