Porsche 911
In the Club...Just bought my 2012 C250 Sport

Had written how i wrecked my 911 3 weeks ago & got a rental from Enterprise a 2013 C250 & was so impressed with the interior & the peppy little engine (IN SPORT MODE) that i thought maybe i'll get a C250 & save some $$

FFW after 2-3 weeks of looking & finally finding one with the options i wanted, i had to have Xenon Lighting package for sure & was hard to find..

Found a 2012 C250 Sport w 19k miles in San Diego at Land Rover of San Diego (Great dealership & gave me a great deal) - Made a deal with them over the phone.....Just flew out today & drove it back 5.5 hours to Phoenix WITHOUT STOPPING ONCE TO FILL UP, got 25mpg, i used to get 14 with the 911 and 16 with my 745Li.. ** GOT A TICKET ON THE WAY BACK FOR 10 Over ** haven't gotten a ticket in almost 10 years

2012 C250
*Lighting Package
*Black MB Tex interior
*AMG Sport Line
*AMG 18"WHEELS
*Avante Garde (Sport)
*NAV Voice Command
*Premuim Pkg w/Harmon Cardon Logic 7
*Keyless Go
*Back up Cam
*iPod Jack
*Rear Spoiler
*Wood Grain Pkg (which i'm gonna switch out for the Aluminum look- although the wood grain didn't look as bad in person asi thought it would)



Coming Mods:
Black Grill-Sure
Clear Side Markers- Sure
Shadow Line with Black Vinyl the chrome around the windows-Sure
Aluminum Brush Vinyl Wrap the Wood grain - Sure
Aluminum AMG Style Door Pins- Sure
Lower with H&R springs **MAYBE**
19"Wheels with some Black in them **Maybe**
AMG Rear Diffuser with Dual Exhaust *Maybe & Doubtful*

Still can't believe i went from owning 2 BMW's & 2 Porsche 911 in past 2 years to a C250...The thanks all goes to Enterprise rental cars for giving me that rental...i would have never EVER thought i'd like this car!

ps: The rental was Bare Bone stock & sucked with no options...but finally i found the one i wanted!

Congrats on the new car! I look forward to seeing more pictures when the mods are done!

And, lucky you, in the experience that me and my dad have had with Enterprise, we have always gotten the crappiest Hyundai they have on the lot.

Car looks great! It will even better with the mods. If you would like to wrap your side markers instead of going clear- let me know. I have some 3M 1080 Vinyl that is a perfect match.
I miss my Iridium Silver sedan.
