What's the payload in the trunk of a c230?
I'm hauling slate tile next week, need to know how much weight the trunk can handle.

2003 C230K Coupe Orion Blue
It's in your manual.
Not sure about the sedan, but the coupe is rated at 100kg. I'm sure one can go over this number without damaging the trunk, though I would personally reinforce the flooring (for example using a sheet of plywood) first.

since the panel that makes up the trunk floor is only about a quarter of an inch at most, I would not recommend no more than a hundred pounds or so. I damaged my trunk floor panel before because of putting too much weight there. Also, the rear suspension will probably bottom out with all the slate back there

Used to haul my bass amp, sound system, instruments etc.
Totally hosed the trunk, had to replace all the pieces and then put plywood down.
It's all plastic.

Why not install a hitch (about $250) and buy harbor freight trailer. I bought the small 4x4ft and stretched it with an angle iron to about 7 ft, works great.
