Hello everyone, I am posting here for the first time. If everything goes well I shoud be purchasing a brand new '05 C230K SS in late August early September. Ive been browsing around to see what kind of options I would like and here is my list so far.
*324 Sun roof package
*319 Lighting package
*Illuminated Door Sills (worth paying $500 to dealer or DIY?)
*All season floor mats
*Rear seat cover (might have to drive my dog in the car)

I was also looking into a in dash cd changer instead of the one in the glove box. Can I get that here in the U.S. or no?

Color wise, I am leaning towards the Orion Blue Metallic and black leather interior.

This would be the first Mercedes for me and probably in the family. Yeah I am young but not spoiled. This car will be all paid for by me as was my previous car (see below)



As the date gets closer Ill probably want to get a C-Spot Coupon from you guys, because I doubt there will be a party before than.

Thanks again,
Luke K

Welcome to the forum.

As you are looking into a MY05 I would suggest you start by using our forums famous search function. It will give you valuable information regarding new features of the car and the availability of the coupons and their expire date. You also might start with MBUSA.com to get familiar with the contents, std and optional, of the car.

Would you guys recommend me getting the illuminated door sills straight from the dealer? Unlike my WRX I would like to keep my warranty on the C230k.
