Got some basic questions on the C300

I'm thinking of trading my S430 for a 08 C300 sport, but I got some questions if you guys can help.
1) Is navigation standard?
2) whats the biggest rims can you put on? I think its 19's right?
3) when changing wheels can you use the same wheel sensors?
4) Does Automatic trans cost more than stick shift?
5) Is there decent back seat leg room?
6) are fog lights standard?


Thanks to anyone who helps.

First I feel sorry for you if your going from an S class to a C class essentially going from the top level (although CL is considered the flagship) to the bottom level.

Some have already answered you but here is my take. Navigation isn't standard but for $2,950 you can get navigation and the harman kardon sound system. I'm not any help with the rim question, but others here are. The automatic does indeed cost more than the stick shift about $1,440 but there are some catches with this. The six speed is only available in the C300 Sport Rwd. There is virtually no rear seat leg room in the back for adults, its fine for kids but anyone over 5 ft will be complaining after a few miles back there, not to mention you'll hit your head getting in if your not careful ha ha. Fog lights are standard.

You need to read the fine print: the lease offer is based on this:

"Includes Destination Charge, Automatic Transmission, Premium 1 Package and Metallic Paint. "

So you could get Auto Trans. and P1 package for the $399 deal, but keep in mind that is only 10,000 miles per year.

Also keep in mind you could try to negotiate more, to get the payment even lower, or try to get a car with more stuff, for the same payment, before tax.


As for space in the back, depends how picky you are. I'm 5'11 approx, and I don't mind it back there, when sitting behind another 5'11" person. I sat back there for fun once, for about 200 miles.
