Age old question.... C230 or C320
It seems like a simple question - but are there any reasons to buy the 230 over the 320 - if the cost difference were only $1000.???? I would like to move on my deal today... but just wanted to make sure...

noob....

C320 is only 1K more?? Why get a 230 then? I THINK you may be comparing 240/230???

Yea I don't think it is possible to have only 1k difference b/t 320 and 230. Or maybe you are talking about fully loaded 230 with no-option 320

Do you mean essentially the same car, just a choice between the V6 or the I4/sc? If so, then for $1000 it's a no-brainer: get the V6.

It's possible that the difference is about 1K. At the time I got mine, the difference is around $2k already (about 1 month ago). It was a no brianer for me to get the C320 at the time. I love it.
