Is this thing for real?
I have never heard of a C-class like this.
Is this a franken car or an actual factory build?

When it left Mercedes it was a C230K. The Lorinser mods would have come at some point after that. In my opinion, and I don't really know the Canadian market that well, that car will be fortunate to get half of the asking price. Generally, people just don't pay for modifications.

yeah this is absolute horse poop. it's just a C230k with completely unnecessary modifications that result in virtually no real increase in power. this guy is asking 4x more than the car is worth. it would be worth more as an all-original C230k with those miles.
notice how the ad provides exactly zero numbers as far as the results of all these "mods." completely fails to cover how the "supercharged" is OEM (and is the same on every single C230K for like 10 years)

I figured it was a bunch of malarkey!
Under it all it's just a C230 Kompressor.
What a waste of money.
On a side note, I noticed an ad for a c22 AMG and I figured the owner didn't know much about his car.
Am I wrong?

If it is repeated multiple times through the ad, absolute crap. If you only see it once, I would venture a guess that they missed the 3 key and meant to type C32.
