Which one???
Hi All-
So I've looked and looked and have narrow my choices down to two cars:
Car #1: A 2003 C240 with roughly 59000 miles. 1 owner car. No service records. Not service at a MB dealer since 2007. The car is near flawless. Runs and drives great. It's a basic C240.
Car #2: A 2006 C350 4-Matic with 94000 miles. The miles are due to the car being driven back and forth from Kansas City to Chicago. 1 owner car. Car was bought at the local MB dealer and only serviced at the MB dealer. All service records since day one are in a binder. All service has been done as scheduled. Runs and drives great. This car is loaded with Harmon-Kardon, rear sun shade, etc.
I've negotiated (today) a great deal on both. Obviously the C350 is a bit higher.
So, which one would YOU select? Thoughts?
Thanks!!!!

2006 C230
neither but if i had to choose, the c350 by a mile
reasons:
newer (obviously)
better performance (obviously)
better audio
and my deal breaker, amg facelift
how much are you paying? that is the question right there. if youre paying anywhere near the $15-$16k range, i seriously recommend just getting a 2003 or 2004 c32 amg. theres one on the kansas city craigslist for $14k with 90k miles.

I also say neither. Hate the pre-facelift W203 and the facelift Luxury models are soooo plain looking.
But if forced to choose, the C350. The facelift really made a big difference inside.

2006 c350 4matic
i too, am biased as well.
i have an 06 c350 4matic. nice car, very enjoyable drive.
bought it a couple months ago, so i have yet to see how the 4matic performs in the snow, and also its my first all wheel drive vehicle.
i have a set of snow tires ready to put on when the time comes, should be fun!
