C204
Moving down..

to the C204 section. The W204 went back to the dealership yesterday & I picked up a C350 coupe.

It was a pleasure getting to know you guys. I'll still be checking around & throwing in updates as I modify the C204.

I don't plan on having anyone in the backseat, but it looks tight back there. I do love the fact that both backseats come down & extend the trunk space.

I LOVE the interior.



& I took the lighting package. So I am not sure if you're referring to the stock halogen look, but I like with the way the front looks.



The lease rates are good, mid 400, 24 months.

im so sorry to say but the c coupe looks so much like an accord coupe in profile..

i know cuz my wife has a black accord coupe and when shopping for my 2012 sedan we parked next to a black coupe at the dealer and i was like WTF!!!!!.. the similarities were staggering.. only profile.. not the specifics please don't be offended.. i don't think i'm the only one that thinks that

enjoy the new ride

So, if ordering a coupe, avoid any Honda colors, inside and out.

Having gone soft in the head, I am fantasizing about a C350 Coupe. What are people who are buying paying for these cars around the country? What is a reasonable percentage discount?

The arguments against this swap are that my C300 has only 32K miles with zero problems and is a unique car that cannot be duplicated, not to mention that it has lost 50% of it's purchase price.

What am I missing here? You still have a W204 chassis, and you switched from a c-class C300 to a c-class C350.

You're memory is pretty amazing, especially for someone who hasn't been to Brooklyn in years.

The last time you posted something about how special your bartolo red car with tan interior is, it took about 5 minutes for someone to post an ad for one identical to it for sale...relax with that already...search autotrader zip 75006 there is one in TX and zip 33801, another one in FL, etc...
