Tectite is a good color

There are very few Tectite C32s around (maybe 5) and no more to be made, and the color is easy to keep up.

LOL, I knew you'd like that one. Dont worry man, I cant afford another car right now. I still have to pay for the one thats coming in December and thats going to put a DENT. Actually, now that I think about it, its not really a dent, its more of a front-end, salvaged title, bent frame, motor damage, doesn't start type of damage to my bank account.

Well seems that you have a pretty good collection of cars. Nothing to worry about. I have a 330 also

That's what Sam told me at HOI. I was gonna go buy it last week but end up getting a new (2003) one at another dealer.
Last week when i spoke to Sam, he wasn't sure how much it was. He said maybe 50k. I'm sure you can work out a better price. There's couple of other dealers that have them in stock if you interested in a new one.

For those in my area, Do you guys go to HOI or Penske for service ?
I'm just curious on how you guys feel about the two dealers.
My family use to go to HOI but started going to Penske because their service is better.
I heard Fletcher Jones is pretty good too. I might start going down there for my car since it's only 5 mins away from my work.

man, you can not trust their website. By the time they put a c32 up, its already sold. You have to go and interragate them.

Sam Huang?...didn't get my car from him, but he lives in my community. Seems like a good guy.

I'm happy with my 02 . I'm not much of a fan of the new bi-xenon headlight anyway. There are few special point i like about the 02. One is that the center cap on the rims are black Mercedes-Benz emblem (like those flat hood badge). And, second is that one the s/c it doesn't have that out-of-place looking (no offense) AMG plaque. There is only one thing i don't like about the 02 is that, it doesn't have a spare tire. It saves weight, but it sure sucks not to have a spare.

btw I think the HOI has better service consultants. A friend of mine has a 01 CLK55, which he bought at Penske, and service there. He is really disspointed with their staff. But, i guess i'm use to HOI because i bought my car there. When i'm at HOI for service i can just find and chat wit my sales, and he'll take me for a ride in their used or new cars. Just the other day, i went to HOI and we drove a brand NEW used Mini Cooper S with only 15 miles on the car. CooperS is such a fun ride. I recommand it if you don't care about the room in the car, and just want to have something for fun.

2003 C32 AMG
I was just at HOI yesterday. THe two C32's are still there. Somebody was working on both of them, hopefully preeping it for one of you guys. am a new member to this site. I just got my brilliant silver C32 last month and I already have 1600 miles logged on. The car behaves and drives like it should but I still miss my MCoupe. The C32 is a perfect compromise car though. The soon to be wife loves it and she does not miss the bimmer one bit.

Another Tectite Grey used '02 c32 in Columbus, OH. (Ed Potter Mercedes).

Was the dealer's car (Tom Potter), he is tired of it and wants something else. Great condition, low miles, loaded.

I am buying my CLK from him -- stand up guy.
