Just make sure you go over the CarFax, but other than that, it sounds like it might be a deal.

Excellent. I'm jealous. 6MT C350 is the best W203 there is, IMO.

I wasn't joking, at least personal preference. The AMG W203s being automatic only is the real joke.

Karo, totally! it'll still have the Auto'X numbers on the windshield for dramatic effect.

i might also have it painted (Maaco of course, only the best) back to graphite, just as my current c230, the day it arrives.

LoL!!

Karo, I should offer the trucker a 12 pack to take it past your house on its way to KC so you can give it the Star reach around. Ill see what he says

Above comment is an inside joke. A banned member here said he bought a C350 manual and took it to auto x. He posted pics but it was his c230 (he lied) it had his c230 brakes and no badges...that's what the auto x comment was about...inside joke

Sure, why not ...then I'll give the trucker a 24 pack and we'll swap out the car for an old beat up civic

On a serious note, you bought yourself an amazing and very rare w203. You're gonna have so much fun with it I can already feel it. I'll be happy to plug up the STAR and take a look at the car for you

What to do when you DO NOT own a C350. Post pics of it on the truck too that adds to it.

LoL. Sad that adidas made everyone so paranoid. But, why not.

btw...
Here's to hoping I get my c230 sold sooner than later!!! taking a chance, but from all the responses, sounds like it was a risk worth taking for a 6mt 3.5

I just got the paperwork on Friday, so that'll go back via overnight fed-ex tomorrow, but dealer said he'd go ahead and make arrangements with the trucking company tomorrow regardless... since they already have the money (wired it).
that said, shipping will take 5-10 days... whatever that means with holiday and dont know if that includes weekdays only or not.

i couldnt enjoy it right now anyway... ive been in hospital for 2 days with pancreatitis. wife brought me my laptop just now so i wasnt bored out of mind.

anyway when it arrives, ill be waiting with camera in hand... so pics to come!

Should have gone & picked it up so you could have driven it home!

How much is the delivery?

Hope you get well soon, your early Christmas present is on it's way!

It would've been home already had I picked it up but wasn't looking forward to 14+ hour drive plus 1,000 extra miles on the odo. Especially when shipping was...free . Yep, they threw it in. I didn't even pull their leg. It would have cost me about $600 had it been on me. Sooo glad I asked one last time if they could do any better!
The trucker is supposed to call me like a day prior I guess and make arrangements? First time I'll have seen a car come off of one of those big car carriers. Interested to know how they do it.
And yea Wife has defintely let me know that this is the last present Ill be allowed for awhile since it was, in her eyes, "unnecessary"... obviously she has no clue haha
