I only saw one manual and that was on ebay. It was an 07 salvage. (LILBENZ found it) It would be great to know the statistics.

Here are the 350 brakes that I was talking about (not my car):

There is no way in hell a late model C350 sport will have c230 brakes NO WAY IN HELL.

It was a late late 06 C350 6 Speed, after sending a few pictures and having him assure me it was in good shape, I jumped in the car for a road trip to texas. Well after a good deal of driving I picked it up about a week and a half ago. I then jumped on a cruise and was gone for 5 days while my little C350 was waxed buffed and cleaned into oblivion. I bought it untouched it is a bit rought, paint needs a bad buffing and the front has highway chips but its a C350 6 speed! I already called and ordered a box to send my ECU to get modded. Im pretty excited, traded the 230 6 speed in and ended up breaking even, I only had to pay 500 over the cost at the dealer because my buddy is awesome. So I walked out with a 100 dollar lower payment and a year shorter payment book. Thank you Todd

I auto X'd it today, it was great went to the novice school to brush up on RW driving, it was great. Every one said excellent brakes, mushy suspention (even sports MB suspension is softer then a BMWs or Subies) and they said the power was good, but could use more. I however love the stock power. I didnt think it would be that much power, but wow, the power and the brakes are even better then I expected. Anyways here are pics, with more to come tomm, I do the points day tomm!
Ohh really, I thought you said they waxed it and buffed it already

The license plate thing would be fine, but it's clearly the same car. When you were posting this, you overlooked the fact that the C350 has different brakes and it's a recognizable difference to anyone with a keen eye. There's nothing wrong with a C230 6MT, so it doesn't really make sense. Careful scrutiny reveals that the cars have what appears to be the same type of tires, and the cars clearly have the same AEM tint-job. The debadging is not conclusive, just convenient. A careful eye also reveals a bent headlight component, apparently one that was evident at your FL meet.

So, what do you do when you buy a C350 6MT? Anyone with one want to chime in on this thread?

Ya but Karo look at this new one. It has scuffs on there it can't be the same one
I got an explanation for that too.

Look at these cones. they are dirty and also look at his buddies car (same scuffes not a lot more because his buddy probably hit less and not that hard)






Thanks for playing but you must go now because you got exposed.

Also don't think me and Matt are after you, just a lot of members had questions and we gave them the answers which made us question your car as well.

Your car is a 230 dude, also I know Eric was being generous when he said they made sooo many changes. They never made changes on the brakes and your answer on how the car is weird it has some options that it did say sport brakes and that they look exactly the same but bigger looool and how some parts should have been missing on the car is just you playing dumb.

But like I said before:

Thanks for playing...Game Over

He can PM me the VIN for a free autocheck history report. Just tossing that out there. It's pretty obvious that the car is a C230, though. Not sure why this bothered him to the extent that he had to make up an elaborate story about how it actually is a C350. Also it should be noted that the facebook album (from months ago) that features his C230 is titled "C350" so I guess this was the plan all along.

Yes these are all my 230. I still have it. I did buy a 350 and it is a manual but I have no pics of it yet, front bumper needs to be repainted very badly, it doesnt have the HARMON KARDON system yes I said bose, my bad..... My 230 is going to be my track/every day car, those are all of it, I figured I could get away with just posting pics of the 230, I didn't want to come off as a douche little rich kid with 2 expensive cars, so I figured the trade story would help that, apparently not (I btw financed both of these cars I didn't buy either outright, and my parents don't help me at all with them). Ill post some up of the 350 when the bumper is fixed, and yes I plowed into a few cones, I suck at RWD but that why I went to auto X so I can learn ( I feel I improved alot), Sorry I wasn't honest about the pics, but I will get some up. Also he only ran 3 times, I did novice school which was like 8-12 runs and sunday was points and we all ran 4 runs, and he also has 3500 dollars in coil overs and azenis tires...so I would hope he hit less cones then me, RWD is a different world then FWD volvos and focus's I drove at auto x before.

Here are some more of the 230 after the auto x on this cool road my friend found...

You said this was the C350 in the flesh, which was a lie. You said that you traded the C230, which was a lie. You came up with quite an elaborate story about the trade and you got busted. I think it is safe to say that this is likely also a lie. It's so incredibly.. needless.

My 230 is going to be my track/every day car, those are all of it, I figured I could get away with just posting pics of the 230, I didn't want to come off as a douche little rich kid with 2 expensive cars, so I figured the trade story would help that, apparently not
A C350 6MT is a rare breed but it is not something that can't be driven daily. I think coming across as a douche little rich kid would've been an improvement over what is obvious about you now. Neither C230 or C350 W203 is "expensive" anymore, just so you know.

You're dishonest and no one here is going to believe your future BS. Be satisfied with the 230 6MT, it's a fine car and you could do much worse. The key to successful lying is making sure you cover your bases. Posting photos showing C230 brakes on your "C350" is leaving bases uncovered.

+1 First story and Second story contradict themselves. You basically tried to sell a fake diamond to a jeweler.

Can a mod change my name to SherlockHolmes ? Is this possible?


You are a complete lie because you said the brakes look exactly the same as the 230 brakes but bigger. Cmon buddy you are making a fool out of yourself. Just admin you made up the story and call it a day. You are only making it worse for you. Good luck trying to find a White C350 MT and when you do make sure it doesn't have the C230 brakes

This was nothing personal but when you take the MBWorld guys as fools we bite back and we bite back hard.

For the record I didn't have anything against Adidas just proved what's right.

Like Matt said:
"Do you know what you do when you buy a C350 6 speed?"....Anyone??....Bueller?....Bueller?.....Bu eller?....Bueller?

I auto X'd it today, it was great went to the novice school to brush up on RW driving, it was great. Every one said excellent brakes, mushy suspention (even sports MB suspension is softer then a BMWs or Subies) and they said the power was good, but could use more. I however love the stock power. I didnt think it would be that much power, but wow, the power and the brakes are even better then I expected. Anyways here are pics, with more to come tomm, I do the points day tomm!

Its almost a twin of my 230 except it doesnt have the bose, just the normal stereo, and the seats and steering wheel are power, but other then that, its nice to have basically the same car just with a bigger engine.

The rest you can figure out yourself. Whatever the real story is it doesn't matter. All I know is this was a HUGE lie. Making up stories how the brakes were great and everyone complimented him looool Supposedly the car was being buffed and everything is good but now its needs a new paint job on the front and he has no pictures even though his buddy sent him pics of the car.

I'm done posting here. Waste of time. Guys I also have a C350 6MT but I never post the pics here and never mention it because I don't want to come off as a rich little douche kid. Even though max they will total is 40k together lool

Matt, Frank and Phil you shouldn't post both of your cars because you will come off as a rich little douche kid

LOL! I can't believe that I missed out on all of this. I'm quite surprised none of you called shenanigans on the photo of the hood up. Engine cover is "similar" but not the same. Woulda asked for more.
Anyway, It's ok Karo. Your car exists. I've seen it. Kinda reminds me of when I used to run the Accord Racing forums with my Honda and people didn't believe that the car existed. I literally got IMs and forum witch hunts for me. It's funny too. People wouldn't believe that my car existed even though I was hosting meets, showing it, racing it, and had magazine coverage on it. LOL.

But yah, Adidas, NICE try. At least you weren't trying to sell us magic beans.
