C230 K
new 2004 C230 K owner
Dear all,
Traded in a 2001 VW GTi and picked up the car last weekend.. compared c240 and c230K, wife made the right decision to get 230..
it's an auto and premium sound package, 6-cd changer and moonroof..
I got pewter silver with grey interior.
lovely little car..
Just a quick and stupid question, with the 225/45/17 in front and 245/40/17 in the rear, how can I do the tire rotation?

Congrats on the car!! You will enjoy it way more than the VW.
As for the tyre rotation, that will not happen with the staggard set up from the factory!

as far as tire rotation goes, just figure your saving the cost of having to do it, since you can't.

Well the car cost 22,000. And we got 16,500 for it. We had put 5,000 down. we still had 15,500 to pay. so i guess we lost 6,500. My mom was the one that really wanted it gone. We traded it in on a jaguar x-type 3.0

thanks for all your warm welcomes...
yes.. I do have michelin tires. and it shoud be the one you guys mentioned 2004.5..
I own a Mazda Protege5, 5sp manual, myself and I love it. The handling is good , at least compare with other japanese car in the same price range. Sad to hear someone has to trade in his Mazda 6 which only has 3500miles on it.
Anyway, I believe I will enjoy the ride...
After one week, wife only put 200 miles on it.....can't wait to break it in...
:p
