NN....

Go to www.mbusa.com and hit the 'build your own' link....pick exactly the options you want, then total it up and print it out.

After that, go to www.Edmunds.com or Carfax...and get the dealer invoice...then haggle with the sales guy. Show him you've done your homework, and they'll show you the respect you deserve.

I think you'll be happy with the current C320 coupe...but if you can wait until April to ORDER the exact car you want, you'll get the updated model and be driving it by June.
(never buy off the dealer lot unless you simply cant walk away from a bargain)

Good luck with your decision....and welcome to the forum.

Hmmm...not building any 320 coupes?
Hmmm.
One thing....if you were to wait until the 'end' of the year, meaning like June or so,
you could get a screamin deal on a 320 coupe assuming they're are any.
Try carsdirect.com.
2003's were listed at 22K to start there!
And although I have an auto, a 320 with a 6 speed would be a formidble vehicle!
And aren't they coming out with a new 6 banger?
Might be better to stick with the old 320, a proven platform just like the 2.3L K. But then thats your choice.
The coupe with the 3.2 is a screamin' deal.
The sedan costs like 10K more to get that engine.
A BMW 330 ci with comparable power starts at like 35K-40K.
