finally got one... My C32 amg Wagon

first some introduction:

hi, I'm Tim, and from belgium
been a member here for some time, and I fell in love with these magnific W203 C-classes. currently my car is a C220cdi. But since i have my new job, i only need to drive like 10 mile's a day... so a Diesel car was no longer at any use ...

some pictures of the old car :





finally got into buying a C32 amg. It's a 2003 wagon, with only 30900 Km's
the low mileage and the full specced option list made me get into buying it
it is an Obsidian black wagon, with bicolor Black-winered interior, and has 17" dual-spoke standard amg rimg mounted

the car will be modded in the future, but they wil be small and subtile mod's. i't will be like a 3 year plan

-CF interior trim is a must.
-LED winkers in the mirrors
-window tint
-other wheels (summer)
-other exhaust (don't know yet what to get)
-maybe a Brabus front bumper (liking the amg for now , so that will stay on for some time first)


pictures of the new amg wagon are still to come


grtz

I swap the wheels from your diesle and if your wagon doesnt come with bix, swap those as well.

Hboy Wagons are exclusive in europe unlike here and command a certian premium and desirability believe it or not.....

thx guys

@hooleyboy: well, The wagon choice was kinda easy, i must say i like the "lines" of the wagen somewhat more than the sedan, plus , i currently had a sedan...some change ist'nt bad


@moose: the car is full specced, has the bixenon, heated seats, command navigation, full electr. seats with memory, parctronic, Bose sound system (precessor of Haman kardon), electric roof, etc etc

and wheels will stay on the car as it goes on sale, the 17" standard on the wagon will do fine during winters. in the summer I'm gonna look for some other wheels. don't know yet what to buy...

tomorrow i'l put on pictures

Nice! Very unique. The wagon versions of AMGs, or Ms for that matter, are pretty rare - at least around here...

Tim what's it like owning a car like that in Belgium as far as taxes, registration, levies etc are concerned?? Is there a CO2 or green levy?

taxes are killing al the fun around here ...

registration of the car cost around 2500 € ( would be 5000 € for a new car that has + 200 hp )
driving taxes every year are around 800 € ...

belgium really is expensive when you buy high powered sports cars... Most of the more expensive cars are often bought on lease or are registrated on a company , due to the high registration cost and they can get some of the vat returned...

So, it is more expensive than the diesel i had ... but damn, the fun you get for that money

Also, in amerika, i often read about cars being sponsored by company's, you dont see that around here in belgium...
the tuning-scene for exclusive cars almost doesn't exist in belgium.... Seeing a tuned amg or mseries or ... Is very rare in belgium.

diesel cars however need to pay an extra tax , due to the C02 ...

i'm also thinking about the CF interior trim, but haven't got to ordering it yet

Your project looks very nice that will be one crazy merc


meanwhile, my first mod on the car is made, i retrofitted the 05 Led-turningsignals in the mirrors, looks much nicer now, makes the car look younger
