2014 Sport White on black
I bought mine in 2003 but it was a 2002. Saved over 8 grand when I waited a few months after Oct 03. I knew there were no differences between the two models except the price. So with the money I saved I made my wife happy and bought some cool mods and still under the out the door price of the 2003.

August - October is the best time to buy a brand new (previous MY) Benz.
(ie: 2003 MY in Sept 2003 when 2004's are out / 2004 MY in Aug 2004 when 2005's are out ) = each $8-$10K off MSRP.

2003 Citron Green C230KMT
my only problem with that is you cant order a 2003 when the 2004's are out. i will probably always order a car from now on, just because i had such a great buying experience the last time. works for me, not for everyone.

2003 Citron Green C230KMT
very true. i was going to order a 2002 but i had to wait for the BIX, i didnt know then you could retrofit, plus im glad i have autoleveling. i saw pics back in oct 02 of what they looked like and had to have them. truelove79 ordered his car like 2 weeks beofre mine. he had almost the same config except orion blue. he was the first US coupe with BIX. i was #2. my cars configuration, required ordering, since not many fully loaded Citron's with manual trans were sitting in the US.
