I have a 2006 C230 that I really like, its the longest I've ever held onto a vehicle. The car just suits me, the ride and handling, the feel of the interior, the size of the car, the four doors and the way I feel when I drive it. The one thing was I always think "I wish it was a bit faster." I investigated Mod's and nothing seemed worth the cost. So I just kept trucking. Then I stumbled onto a C55 locally (really I wasn't looking). I went for a test drive and BAM, my car but faster, um WAAAAYYYY faster. So tomorrow I'm picking it up.

Great call, welcome to the club!

Awesome! Post some pics and this is defiantly the place to find info if you want to make that c55 faster

Diamond Black Metallic, Ash interior. Got the garage door opener programmed, got the CD cartridge unstuck (still trying to get it to play). Have to get a better detail job done, the dealer did a crap job. Love the engine sound, the heavy steering will take some getting used to. More bells and whistle that I am finding compared to my C230. Happy camper right now.

If you really want to modernize the car get an android Nav unit. They make it in the same size as the radio unit so it looks factory. You can install whichever Nav app you want and use your personal hotspot on your phone to connect to the Internet . If you do buy the system make sure you get optical cable converter.

Got the CD changer to play. Just basically played with the insides of it, a couple of little wires and struts seemed to be off. Checking into the Android Nav unit.

I have this one http://www.seicane.com/1024-600-andr...ink-obd2-k7508 . Be advised though, find out if your car runs on fiber optics. I thing there is some converter for it. I think you can get them cheaper on eBay, but the people from this site are very helpful and even sent me an update recently.

Do you have the Harman Kardon system?

I had one, but when I bought the nav I had to convert the digital to analog. The Harman Kardon amp had to be switched out. I ended getting a more powerful/customizable amp, then bought better speakers and a box for the trunk. I'm very proud/satisfied with my system.

Going through the growing pains of finding out all the little things wrong with the car. Some normal stuff from what i gather from this site. Headlight blinking off issue, readjusting the headlights. Then stuff that needs replacing/ repaired. Tail light bulb, rear seal, slightly bent rim, vent adjuster, headlight assembly bolt. You know stuff to get a used car up to snuff. I forget not everyone takes car of their stuff like they should.

Got the rear seal fixed, the mechanic said it looked like someone had gone in and tried to fix it but quit and put it back together before they were done.
