2004 C230 Sedan

Hi, I bought my 2004 C230 Sedan yesterday and I am taking delivery today. I had read on one of the posts here that the steering wheel on a 2004 is a 3 spoke and the fog lights have clear glass. Is this true? The one that I am picking up has a 4 spoke steering wheel on it ? Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, V

Thanks! It is Brilliant Silver with Charcoal. Automatic, Sunroof Package and CD changer. Wanted Xenon lights but couldn't find one with these. I ended up paying $29.5k for the car - Approx $1500 under invoice. I think it is a good price given it is a 2004.

It was a painless experience at Rusnak. I was actually looking for a good deal on a 2003 but couldn't find it. I put in a request thru the internet that went to a number of dealers. Every dealer wanted me to go in person to negotiate the price. Rusnak was the only one that actually did the deal over phone / email and when I got there last night the deal was still good. I am very happy with the service. Feel free to email me if you guys need a contact name and number at the dealership. I also got 5 year financing at 3.99% thru MBCC.
