Non-AMG that is. Someone please buy this thing so I can envy you. It has every option from iPod adapter to illuminated door sills and apparently an ///AMG badge that needs to be removed ASAP. Damn I wish I could buy this.

Perhaps the rarest W203 of them all

That is nice, good price too. Cant believe it doesn't have the heated seat option. I've never driven a manual 203, how's the gearbox? I have a 2006 s2000, which has just about the most perfect gearbox you can fine.

This car was posted before and is an excellent find right in FL here, I wish I could unload my 230 for this, but the accident damage looks like a deterrent. Its perfect except for that. Im going to email then and arrange a test drive.

I agree...
They claim it only needed to be repainted. An independent shop performed the work. Wonder if they used the same quality paint and clearcoat as MB would.

It's too bad that new buyers unknown of the car's actual rareness won't buy it because of the accident, and people who do know of it from the forums already have a w203. The seller, though, does make effort to try and explain how rare a 350 manual in a w203 is, but he doesn't word it quite right. :/

My car has technically been repaired in a similar way as this C350 and to hold it against it would be ludicrous. The front bumper was damaged slightly and an indy shop replaced the bumper and did paint work. You cannot tell anything ever happened and OEM parts were used (per the work order $980 for OEM bumper). Just because a car isn't repaired by a Mercedes collision shop doesn't mean the work is shoddy.

See the catch there is via the last post about this car is that the car was repaired by MB sarasota, and the shop since MBSAR doesnt have one and is owned by auto way, was done at auto way ford, and they are a **** shoot of a repair shop. I actually have an appt to see the car tomorrow, So Ill tell you if they did a good job or the crappy job im expecting to see.
