Upgrading from a 97 C280 to an 05 C230K, will I be disappointed?
I'm finally trading in my '97 C280 Sport Sedan, and I wanted to get a C320 Sport Sedan, but the price seemed too high. So it looks like the C230K... Will I be disappointed in the power? I'm getting an automatic.

Anything I should know about the C230K? Thanks.

You will be disappointed if you dont trade it in.

Even if you had to "Flintstone" the C230K, the looks alone make it worthwhile.

C320 Coupe
the c230 will actually be faster than your c280 (8 seconds to 60 i believe, versus 7.5 for the c230 6 sp). you know you'll love the car....who could refuse a newer, vastly improved car?

I think you will be VERY disappointed on the engine sound but performance will be great tho... I rather get a yr old C320 for the same price.
