Good bye to my 04.5 c230k
After 6 months of driving this car, I went back to the 3 series. Just traded it back to Fragship Motors in Lynnfield, MA for a stick 03 325 cic with sport/premium package/xenons. To my surprise they actually did not kill me on the trade (got back 27,500) and bough it for 29,100. On the other end the convertable was 33k which is a preety good price since book is 39k (i think its because it end of summer).
Anyways, despite how much I loved the looks of the c230k, I just could not overcome the lack of low end power on the car and the handling. I did come from a 3 series before which I loved. Bottom line I did not like driving the car. For some reason, when I test drove it, it did not seem that bad...
Good luck to all. I do have to say...this was a fun board to be part of...!!!
