Question Newbee with a few questions...

Hi all, I am in the process of selling my car (a 2005 Subaru Impreza WRX STi) and am in search of a more refined vehicle. I am very interested in the C32 AMG and am currently searching for an 02 low milage silver over black leather car while in the process of selling my STi.
Firstly can someone comment on a stock C32 handling abilities, I drove a 1999 C200 for a while and that really was a P.O.S. - the C32 will be drastically different right - I mean I am sure it wont be anywhere near as agile and able as the STi in terms of cornering ability but I would hope it was infinatly better than the C200 I drove?
In my current car I have a double din navigation unit installed (Eclipse AVN 2454) which I would like to put in the C Class. Do double din units fit the C classs', if so where can the correct fascia aapters be bought from?
Last Qu for now - I have found a 1 owner car in silver with black leather with just under 25k miles on it, the car has the Xenon lights and is in very good condition what is a descent price for this kind of car, maybe $34,000?
Thanks in advence for any responses,
MarK.
Attatched below is a pic of my current ride, for the money nothing quite compares when it comes to a performance car bargain and on a twisty road virtually no car can outrun it or as the case may be, keep up...

The most important Qu I need the answer too is in regards to the Nav Unit as if it fits the class I will take it out of my STi if not I'll sell my car with it, so can anyone tell me, is there a fascia adapter for a 2002 C32 that will allow me to fit a double din head unit?
Thanks,
MarK.

I don't think such a unit exists.

If there is no unit as such, could I get one of the regular trim piece to fit an aftermarket head unit and just remove the storage slot - would that space then be "double din" as such?
Thanks,
MarK.

Unless I'm mistaken on STI prices, for about $2K more, I'll get a new one. You might need to get more realistic with your asking price if you really want to sell.

Depends where u look I suppose but if u can get one for only 2k more your getting a great deal, with the options I got, the Out The Door price (inc. Tax, licence ect) was $36,500. Considering I have only had it 2-3 months and it only has 3500 miles on it I thought taking $6000 off the price was fair enough, also its one of the lowest priced STi's advertised on autotrader as most are asking between $32-34k. Regardless though, thanks for looking and your input, I really do think its a more than fair price but time will tell, if it dosent sell I'll lower it then.

p.s. any info on the whole double din issue I mentioned above for an 02 C32?

Sorry I have no info on the double-DIN issue. Good luck selling.
