Sold C320 Coupe

Well guys - I sold my Coupe. Two reasons. First, the dealer could not get the car to run right. It had "skip" at 2000 RPM and hesitation "off idle". It also would not start now and again, door locks would unlock when I went around a corner...... Second, I just needed a truck. I am very active and needed something more practical.

The dealer gave me 4 grand over wholesale on the coupe and a good discount off a '05 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab NISMO. It took a nasty two page letter to MBUSA and the dealer to get them to take the car back, so I came out ok. I do miss the rock solid feel of the MB but don't miss the weekly dealer visits.

One reason to post is to say I do have my H&R sway bars for sale. I will post in the "sale" section of this forum.

Have fun with your MB's!

Wow. Glad I haven't had to make weekly trips.
Yup, that rock solid feel...at speed, nice handling, stopping on a dime, and the killer turning radius
it's like herion to a herion addict....
Too bad they couldn't fix it.
It took a lot of visits for me to get my car properly sorted out
but it's really nice now...Just took a while.
Everything works properly and
no squeaks after the 2nd sunroof replacement!
I love being in it. It's like Zoloft, but so much more expensive. So comfy.
Always wished I woulda got the 320 coupe, but it wasn't available in 2002.

I don't see them in the Classified section, so please PM me with your asking price. Are the front endlink holes 10mm or 12mm? I've been meaning to measure mine to see which ones to buy.

Wild guess but maybe "H&R C Coupe/Sedan sways for sale" posted by 66 Roadster could be it... :p

Maybe it's the coupe as I've had too many issues to list with my 2002 coupe but the sedan has been flawless (except for a faulty wiper blade). With these type of cars made with cheap east european labor it's just a matter of luck. Just so you don't think it can happen with Nissan, my last lemon law buy back was with an Infiniti in '97 and let me tell you, Nissan headquarters are the most arogant customer service people I've ever dealt with and I'm sure the parent company Renault is no better so I've vowed never, ever to buy any Renault product again.
