yesterday I went to eat w/ couple friends and saw two silver C32 and one pewter C32 right after I parked the car and walked out of the underground parking garage.

one of the silver one was lowered w/ LM-5 rims while the other two are stock.

it's pretty cool to see soo many C32s...heh

probably because used c32's are now affordable. it's somewhere in the upper 35k range. it may even be lower.

you probably saw the new 230K (the ones with the amg body kit) - but with fake badges. i saw one the other day and i thought it was a c32. it had amg on the right side of the trunk but i saw it didn't have amg brakes. from the front it was impossible to tell.

I know the difference from a 05 sport from a C32 from miles away. those were real things. Lots of people do have them in Monterey Park area.

Frank, can you teach me how to distinguish a 05 sport from a C32 from miles away? :v If its really miles away, I think they all look the same! I'm just teasing you!

Same thing happened with me last week at JHB Int airport. I have seen only about 7-8 C32's so far. That day I saw 3 C32's, 1 CL55, 1 S55 and one E55. Couldn't believe it, here by us AMG are still very rare.
