seller might have accidentally hit 8 instead of 5 on the numeric keypad on the keyboard since 8 is right above 5 on the keypad.

yes jogger, the car originally comes from the US, i am living now in the middle east. the description of the engine as on the licence is that it is a 2800 cc engine...

and all the reviews i saw regarding the w203 c230 was a 2.5 or 3 L engines, none was with a 2.8 engine.

the guy who is selling me the car said it came originally like that. and i am wondering how common this can be... and should i have any worries ..

thanx
