If i saw this vehicle before i bought mine
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2007-...=p4506.c0.m245
Man if i saw this vehicle I would've taken it. Has everything i want plus more HP and a manual! The next car i wanted was a Manual car but the C230 was to slow to be a manual. The C350 is more fun as a manual. But it has XENON and NAVI.

Yep, very rare, and almost exactly what I am looking for, but can't live with light interior. It is worth the current bid, but not really worth the buy it now, considering it is salvaged. Oh well, still on the hunt.

I agree with C350 6MT W203 is the one to have over a W204 C300 or C350. I disagree with the OP on the fact the C230 is "too slow to have a manual". I've never heard anyone say that. Typically it's better to have a manual in a car with less power because there is less drivetrain loss and it makes the most of the available power.

You're looking to add another to the family or replace your car?

I love the W203 C-class so much, I can't be without one, so I am getting another.

I know what you mean about the W203. I simply adore my lowly 5-year-old C230. Such a competent (and efficient) little machine it is. And the 2005-2007 Sport sedan is, IMO, one of the best looking cars out there. Simply stomps the W204 in the looks department.

That would be a tough call for me.

My only problem is trying the find a well maintained 07 C350 is hard enough, but I am really picky and want specifically:
1)07 - Have to have an 07.
2)Really, really want a manual, but will probably end up with an auto, but I am OK with that.
3)Has to be Black/Black or Diamond Black/Black.
Almost every C350 I come across is a 4-Matic. Not sure how I feel about that. On one hand it would be nice for the winter here, but really like a rear wheel drive car. I am not in too big of a hurry, since I can still drive the Sentra, but that will probably get old fairly quickly. We'll see.

Agreed. That is why I am not even considering a W204. I drove the W204, and it drives nicely, has a similar feel to the W203, but just lacking something I can't quite put my finger on The exterior of the W204 is SLOWLY growing on me, but still don't really like the interior styling.

The 2007 is definitely best looking, but in Sport guise. If you're finding 4Matic cars those must not be Sport models. I couldn't do a W203 that's not a Sport, but that's a personal preference.
The W203 C350 is elusive, that's for sure.

2006 C350 Sport 6MT
The 0-60 on the MT and AT is half a second so you can imagine the extra power you will feel.
I have heard the C350 AT does 5.9, 6.1 and somewhere can't remember the article but 6.4 (which is not true at all) the C350 takeoff isn't super fast but once it get's pasted 2 1/2 - 3 K RPM that thing hauls. Think of it this way a G35 coupe (rated at 280hp and manual) with an intake and exhaust and rims (dont know how heavy they were) up against my car with rims the G35 was on my blind spot and I was pulling from him.
The G35 was right behind me and after we both hit 2nd gear the G35 caught up to me (took a jump) then I started slowly pulling away from him and the race ended with him being on my blind spot. A lot of people underestimate the w203 C350 (especially because it looks like a C230) but once you show them whose boss they back off. I once had a guy is a 745 as me if my car was realy a C350. I said "ya mercedes custom built it for me" he said "ya right" I said "light hits green lets go" and he did and I smoked the 745 and at next stop light he said "wow..how much did you pay to make it custom" loool
Overall even thought right now I am having big trouble with my C350 I really love that car. If you can find one especially MT jump on it.
You won't regret it.
Ohh ya my whole story about the G35 was the 268 hp might look like nothing but it really packs a punch.

Good luck finding one (not in a sarcastic way) I have searched Autotrader and put distance as "any" and never found a 6 MT C350 (w203 body).

a quarter mile at a time
anyone have manfacturoring statistics on 2007 C350 Sports? And yeah i did the same exact search. I found the model i was lookin for but around 26,000 with 20K miles fullly loaded. Most of the C350 are AWD. And yes I wanted to have a fun car that had power and a manual. Almost bought a 2006 G35 SEDAN Manual...rarest ones to find. Only 6 percent were made. But I couldn't find the one i want for the right price and mileage. And most of the dealers wouldn't haggle. Funny now the guy loweered his price.. lol

When I went to go look for my car in Jan of 06, they had 50 TOTAL C350's in the US (dealer lots, ports, etc etc).
