91RS

Found this on eBay, has a FL tag on it. The rare C350 Sport and the even more rare manual transmission! Also has BiX, Comand, and folding mirrors.

Cool - it has the AMG option too!

They should immediately lose $5k on the sale with that sh*t.

I'm still not understanding the way-too-frequent oil change thing, but you're right - that car would be a good steal, assuming it is truly a 350, of course.

skittles

somebody just please run the VIN and get it over with...

91RS

What's wrong with the oil changes? You won't catch me going anywhere near a 13k mile oil change, no good could come of it. Just look at BMW and all the sludge problems they have now.

mbclub.ru verifies it's a C350.

W203E35

I have seen this one before. I believe this is the one that has been in an accident.

Edit:
Nevermind the one I saw was black 07 with same options but no tint and Salvage. This one isn't salvage.

skittles

yeah. look at the carfax records close to the bottom it sez there is an accident in record.

the car looks immaculate.. wonder why its so cheap..

W203E35

Because for couple of thousand more you can get a clean C55

Ya it's a 350 manual and it's rare but for that price you can get a more fun and fast car manual

Nick, you need to jump on this or imma smack you!

tommy

Well, you can always get something faster. Just get an old Mustang.

The 350 is a pretty good blend of performance and fun, esp. with the better manny. I doubt I'd ever get a MB sedan, but if I did, that would be the one I seek out (same with the SLK350 with the manny).

91RS nothing wrong with those oil changes, if you don't like money. I find the whole idea of the multiple oil changes a bit silly, but you may not.

just so all know he's aware and open about the "accident". this is at the bottom of the description on the ebay page
"WAS REAR ENDED LAST YEAR AT A LOW SPEED MAYBE 3- 5 MPH WHICH LEFT A SMALL CREASE ON THE REAR BUMPER. I HAD AUTOWAY FORD, WHICH IS THE AUTHORIZED MERCEDES BODY SHOP IN MY AREA, SINCE MERCEDES DOESN'T HAVE THEIR OWN BODY SHOP REPAINT THE REAR BUMPER. IT ONLY NEEDED TO BE PAINTED, IT WASN'T REPLACED. THE WORK LOOKS EXCELLENT. I CANNOT TELL THAT IT'S BEEN PAINTED OR THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN AN EXTREMELY MINOR ACCIDENT. I HAVE THE POLICE REPORT SHOWING A $300 ESTIMATE FOR DAMAGE"
hes got plenty of pics on there showing the rear end of the car and it looks perfect to me...

W203E35

I don't know.

Usually if there is no bodily damage then the police don't report the accident. If it's 300 dollars then it won't cover deductible so insurance wasn't reported.

It's possible but for 300 dollars the guy ruined the record on his car (IMO).

Policy might be different in Florida.

Again overall a great car and anyone who wants a manual w203 fully loaded this is your chance.

Thank 91RS for finding it

samaritrey

+1 i would get a copy of the police report before i would even consider looking at it.

TemjinX2

i'd rather get a c55. From what i heard, the mercedes manuals aren't really that great.

Milkm4n

i got no complaints lol

nrg_mike

It's def not a bad car but I'd seriously punch myself in the head if I ever considered jumping from one W203 to another.

OneOfaKindTrini

Man, that is just such a nice w203 it's a shame.. AMG+Folding Mirrors+COMMAND+Manual. Where were these cars when I was in the market???

moosejaw

No matter what anyone else says
You will never offload a C Class Manual
Mine was in pristine condition with Carlsson Rims and it took 8 months and $ 4,000 below my asking price to sell

C280 Sport

Nice car. Its located about 5min away from where my summer home is. A couple things no good about it. The AMG badge is a no no and no heated seats.

skittles

karo ran it already. and theres a carfax connected on the ad.

AdidasC230

I just went and saw the car, and it looks like its in good shape.

Also in FL we call the cops for everything. Auto way ford is owned by MB sarasota so his story checks out. Im trying to get financing but I dont know Im pretty in the whole on my 230

We don't care too much about heated seats here.

Viper98912

That's a great looking car with a lot of options, but you can get a C55 for that price.....
