ok so not sure yet but if the w203 i buy doesn't have these options i want to add them but would like to know costs roughly.

-Power folding mirrors..... I will be upgrading to the new arrow design covers so depending on the costs i'd like power option.

-rear power sunshade... I'd need the actual shade along with the rear decklid tray, wiring harness, switch for console? Anything else ? and about how much?


- Heated seats.... the elements, switch, wiring harness? Heard the cost should be pre-wired to install the heated seats but not sure. can i install aftermarket pads but use oem switch?

-Tpms--- anything aftermarket that will work for the c230 and will it display in the clusters info?

thanks

 

I think the sunshade is going to be too expensive... 1k-2k?... Did you consider installing a suction-cup-style shade there?
I had driven with the sunshade stuck up for several months. Does not really affect the rear visibility. But I folded it down now and don't use it anymore.

 

yes we have tried those, they suck....one brand was good but for some reason when i took it off it took off my tint as well...i have a back up idea but would like to have it powered...need it for my lil guy, he doesn't like the sun in his face since he's rear facing

 

There are PLENTY OF CARS OUT THERE! Wait a minute and find the one you want...adding after the fact easy OEM options is SILLY and NOT WORTH IT!
I would get a 2005 C320 and ensure it has a good balance shaft. Or, like me a C230 and ensure it has good service and no timing chain issue and all of them are fitted with pigtails. That said, I would get a MANUAL trans. No computer or other "common" automatic issues. The 2005 is PRE-WIRED for things you may want to add...i.e. phone/sat.
- Folding mirrors. Steve at MBENZNL.Com...may even have used ones.
- Power shade...like mentioned, unless you can get it all from a wreck...no way is this worth it. Tearing the back of the car apart alone. This is a pretty common feature, you should be able to find this...It's part of the SUNROOF PACKAGE.
- Again, Heated Seats pretty common. People have added aftermarket units.
- Aftermarket, not sure. You can add OEM per MBenzNL or Jr.'s posts. You will need DAS and/or a Dealer you can work with to turn it "on" in the display.

My two cents...find the car you want...then ADD Euro/Rare options...like the OEM SIDE sun shades!

Was thinking of a 05 before but now don't want to deal with any supercharger issues down the road so I would do a 06 and possibly a 07...I know the folding mirrors isn't going to happen but rest shade and heated seats are a hit or miss...I did a 100 mile search in my area but didn't find too many that had the color combo I was looking for and if i did find a few they were asking way over market price.
