JUST BOUGHT IT!

2009 Black on Black C300 Sport 6MT

Msrp was $33,775...got it for $30,500 + TTL...so i think that's pretty good, under invoice...kinda screwed me on the trade but you can't have it all I guess. I'll be going in sometime this weekend to finalize it.

I hope this car keeps me entertained for a few years. Being a young guy, especially coming from a Cooper S, that's my only reservation.

nope. according to the dealer those 18" wheels are pretty much at cost already at the $1,010 price point. If someone were to order them from the dealer they'd be significantly more expensive. So basically, no wiggle room on the rims (if this is true). They did say i could come back and buy them at dealer cost (which is just under $1000) at any time if I choose to.

I found a nice selection of new AMG rims from reputable vendors on ebay for quite a bit less money, so I'll prob just go that route this summer.

In high school I had a 2005 Saab 9-3 sedan...that car had a turbo and a manual tranny and I still got bored with it after a year.

I wanted the Mini SO bad...i begged my parents for a good two years for it. Now two years later im trading it in for another big-ish 4dr.

I hope I'm not crazy, that's all.

The good news is, if i end of missing the Mini badly, I could always trade the C300 after a year, take the huge hit, and still be able to afford a new Mini.

Congrats to you too, I saw your pics in the other thread. I got mine last night!

It's a little less sporty than the Cooper S...steering is really light and the car feels less planted to the road, but I think as I get used to it I'll love it more.
