Question Where else is the c230k available?

When I bought my car, the dealer told me that 1 out of 715 C230k is blackonblack with a c7 package. In my area, Ive seen my car often in Silver , white, and some reds. Not many black with the wheel package, I guess there's some truth in what the dealer said . Now, I know the car is becoming pretty popular with the younger population ... but now Im curious what other countries have the c230k, do they go by this model (c230k)- (for ex. in the states we have the nissan 240sx, but in japan its called NISMO) . Also, in many of the import scenes, MB in general is not a popular car to modify probably b/c it voids the warranty as well as how many more modifications can you really do to improve the car In any case I haven't seen much MB in the import scene (Import Euroasia, HIN) and I would like to see some... so if any one knows the answer to my question as well as have pics of modified C-coupes... please don't hesitate to share it. Thanks

the 240sx is actually called a Silvia, which is the model name under which it is sold in japan. the new ones are very nice, not that the old one was bad or anything. NISMO is a tuning company for nissan, in-house i believe, but not sure.

Just C7?

Hmm, I've got a B/B C7 as well... Do you mean your car only has the C7 option and nothing else?

You probably won't see many C230Ks in the sport compact seen. They are pricey compaired to the Civics, Eclipes, and Caveliers. There are not as many companies making parts for them and the parts that are available are expensive, except for the SC pully.

C230K Coupes are available almost everyplace they sell Mercedes. Most countries also get a few addtional engine choices (C180K, C200K and a C270 diesel). Currently the C230K sedan is only available in the US and Canada.

Cheers, BT
