Thanks for all your opinions
We ended up ordering the white. I loved the red too, but I think it looks better on the coupe.

Here's what's on its way:
05 Sport Sedan (alabaster white)
ash interior (I want everything to get dirty )
auto
navi
sunroof package
power driver seat/memory
xenon lighting package
split rear seat (for carrying lumber :p )

Now I can't wait until it gets here...

Thanks again.

nice choice but for only like 2-3k more why not get a c320?

i have a 2003 alabaster white c320 and when i was ordering i remembed the c320 being only 2-3k more. thats why im wondering.

The 3.2 is nice, but I think the difference is about 6-7K for the sedan. The 1.8 is the "bargain" of the line.

The C320 Coupe is only $4K more than the C230 Coupe, the C320 Sedan is $10K more. Guess where Mercedes makes their money

tom incredibie

i like the 3.2 alot, i think next time it would be a tough decision for me to make. that price difference buys a lot of option packages.

Tom,
Those prices you quoted are for Sedans correct?
Remember there is a C320 Coupe too, and it is a bargain compared to the C320 Sedan.

The 2005 C230 Sports Sedan at FJ had auto, CD changer, sunroof for $34K

since my car is leased and i plan to buy my next one, i'm actually considering forgoing the v6 power for more options and the standard sportier features of the c230 sedan.

citron, or anyone else for that matter, since you currently own the 4 cylinder kompressor engine, how would you rate it power wise? is it satisfactory? does it feel quick? is it much noisier than the v6? i only got to briefly test drive the c230 kompressor, so i couldn't really tell other than the obvious power difference between it and the c320. thanks.

tom incredibie

oops i knew i forgot something. yeah its for the sedans. thats in 2003 though. now they eliminated the free services and increased the price like 3k?

i like the power of the 1.8, its not slow its peppy. whines abut but thats expected with a 4 cyl. kompressor. i like the whine myself. it doesnt have the solid power, of the V6 but i think its still got enough for me. i dont think its underpowered at all.
