new 230k sedan!

My girlfriend just got the c230k sedan for ~6500 below MSRP! Wow, what a value, just have to say coming from a clk owner I am so jealous. She has the cross-drilled ventilated rotors with 4-piston brakes (I had to upgrade mine to get similar braking power), nice fat chrome oval exhaust, and the newer wheels. Plus textured aluminum, so sporty, I still have to change mine. Not to forget the 23/31 gas mileage and faster , lighter than the 240. Drives very well with more responsive braking than my car and good steering. I still like my car but having paid ~20,000 more, I feel cheated.

Got the exact same deal last week on a 2004.5 with cd changer, sunroof, lighting package MSRP 34,150, sales price $27650 however since I made the dealer get this car from another dealer 5 hours away (no cars with xenons close by), I had to pay $250 to flat bed the car to me. The car is sweet!

Everytime I see a Citron C230, it always makes me think of the VW Beetle. That's why I never liked that color.

no comparison. my last car was a beetle. i wanted cyber green, ended up with batik blue ( dark blue, kinda purple). anyways, citron is totally different next to the beetle, brighter and more yellow than the VW gree. i see where your coming from though.

LOL! It's funny, I liked the beetle when it first came out, but then I started to see too many middle aged women driving them, and that image kind of stuck with me. I still think it has a rather feminine appearance; it even comes with a flower! :p Glad you upgraded to the MB!

I know the MB is a different green, but the "stand out" factor to me is the same. And because it's an unusual green color, it makes me think of the beetle. But at least you don't see a a majority of drivers that are middle aged females!
