RobM23...My 07' C230 Sport.
Zup everyone? I'm Robert and I'm new. lol
Here's my story.
This is my old Integra DC4 1998 in late 2008 sitting on Function & Form coilovers...
2 months after I upgraded the coilovers...
STOLEN. From the parking lot at my apt complex.
So looking for a change I got a 07' C230 Sport from a local dealer. Got it on February 16 2010 with 35,120 miles. I'm the second owner.
Its been raining a lot here in South Florida, so this is what I have for now. I'm gonna have a nice photoshoot soon
Flat Hood Emblem bought at the dealership a few weeks ago.
Got a few mods in mind, Ill be updating. Comments and criticism are welcome!

my question is if u don't mind...what was the asking price and what price did you actually buy it for? I dunno about you guys but have you been noticing it's a lot harder to negotiate car prices with dealers now awaydays?? especially with sites such as autotrader.com etc etc where they are all competing with one another until the point at where the price listed is as far as they can go?

I paid 18,000 something for it at a repo dealer, carfax and all the original manuals included. The Mercedes dealer down here in Coral Gables wanted to charge me 24,000 something dollars for the same car in the same conditions.

Welcome! The Sport looks great--huge bump up from that Integra thing.
The 203s have such an aggressive stance, like they're moving forward while standing still. Very nice.

Looks great! Very clean... Looks like it's siting higher than mine in the front, but looks great all the same! Is it a black interior?

Zup guys? A little update for me.
Got rubber mats last week from a seller on ebay, I've heard bad things about them, so far I'm happy with them.
went to the dealer yesterday to have my cup holder replaced (peeling) and the car had an open recall or something like that for the replacement of a pulley. This is what the invoice says "Replace Guide Pulley A For V-belt" they replaced it and when I get home i notice that they broke my door handle!(gotta go back on saturday for warranty) plus a fat dude slammed his door on the passenger side impact strip on the parking lot, at least nothing happened just a little ding on the chrome trim thats it, yesterday sucked! ohh and my front tires are in really bad shape so no front lip this week for me.

That mat looks brand new! I've never heard bad things, and my mats are from 2001. What have you heard about them?

Quick update.
Got window tint yesterday, I'm not a fan of tinting my windows but its too damn hot down here (105). I did my research and almost went with Huper Optik($375+tax) because nobody here had Formula 1 Pinnacle Series. After a few weeks of looking around I found a place in Hollywood, FL that had Geoshield DarkMatter for a good price and I decided to give it a try, plus the guy gave me a discount of $20 of his already good price, went with 30% all around, still thinking about getting the windshield done with 60%. So far I'm happy with them, cant wait for them to dry and get the moleskin installed.

The 07s are the best looking 203s. No mods (aside from tints if that's your thing) needed.
Add me to the list of those of us who had the cup holder replaced under warranty for peeling chrome trim.
