whats a good w203 to buy 230vs320 ?

Hi all. I have w201 and w202 and have had w204 c230 and c280 rental. but I was wondering if some of you could tell me more about the w203 and what is a good model to choose from. I know for a fact I do not like the c240 (it has no engine)

my dad is looking for a new car and is looking at a 2004 c320 just shy of 100,000 miles for something around $9000 after looking at autotrader it seems to be a good deal as cars on that site are around 11k+ for a 03-05

but I am leaning towards the c230 kompressor being a better idea? my 2000c230komp has been real strong engine and transmission wise.

is the 2004+ the face lift model?

EDIT: What country are you in?

Look for any of the 06+ USDM w203's.

2005+ c230 is the best one to go with in my opinion. This is the facelift model with the updated interior and AMG kit standard on the c230 model. The previous ones look outdated in my opinion. I've seen a few with higher miles from 11-13k.

ya i agree, i remember when the 2005s came out, they looked hot compared to the 01-04's.

C240
Why would you say the c240 doesn't have an engine... Just wondering..

But the +05 230K are great buys, and 320s are awesome if you can afford them.
