Post Official German stats for the w203

Its helpful that I read German

I came across this site,

http://www.mercedes-benz.de/content/...lass_w203.html

You can enter your model and it will give you the original manufacturer stats. Sorry but I didn't find an English one.

I was having trouble finding the official 0-100km/h stats from the Australia websites as they were wrong.

I am annoyed that MB Australia dont allow you to access this on their website, I get 'access denied'

I am so lucky to live in the USA. European taxes are levied without benefit of a reach around. My car sold for $50,680. in Germany. With trunk money and a coupon I paid $27,500.

It was 12-31-2004. Thank you George Bush.

Yes, George Bush alone saved you from higher state sales taxes or a VAT Federal system.

The German site says;
6-Gang-Schaltgetriebe (gears)

but my C200 only has 5.

I am German but only lived there as a child so dont really know much about the way they see things when it comes to cars. Maybe the Germans count Neutral or Reverse is a gear?

Here in California, liberals have certainly cost us increased sales tax rates.

I thought it was the treaty signed after WW2 which determined that Germany must sell to USA with a subsidy.

There are a lot of reasons for CA's problems, plenty of blame to go around.

6-Gang-Schaltgetriebe = 6 speed manual.
