Where can I buy a copy of this book?

Apparently MB published this book some time back:


Where can I buy a copy of this book?-c-klasse-20coupe-20book_zpseq7900so.jpg


I know it exists because I got the photo from a forum member. I'd love to buy a copy for my car library. My local MB dealership parts guy pleaded ignorance and didn't seem interested in doing any helpful research.

I did a forum search but found nothing on it. No apparent mention of it on the MB website.

Anyone know where I can get one? The forum member whom provided the photo got it from his dealership a long time ago.

No luck with that particular one, but search on ebay for 'c class coupe brochure' and you'll find lots of options.

I agree about the brochures being much easier to find - I downloaded those right off the MB website (they keep the old ones on the website!)

I can't see your image from this computer. Did you mean this book?



I think it's on Amazon.

Otherwise, out of print books - particularly from auto manufacturers - can usually be found on eBay. It's like the Google Machine for buying used stuff.

I actually had a copy of that sent to me by M-B. That suggests thousands (and thousands) of copies were printed so they are out there. I pitched my copy about a year ago while packing some stuff up but they will undoubtedly surface on eBay.

Josh was diagnosed at about age 1-1/2, and my wife and I managed to guide his education to where he graduated with honors from high school. His hobbies are Astrophysics and Quantum Mechanics. Mocking a disabled person is pretty low.

I am mocking you and you alone because you're arrogant and inconsiderate.

You're also correct, I had no way of knowing details of your life other than that precious mustang you've mentioned owning over and over.

Suggesting that I was mocking a disabled person I didn't even know existed is lower than low, but that's how you roll. You like to interpret what others write to suit your augmented reality because you believe you're better than everyone here.

You asked for "cluttery" noise and now you're getting it.

It seems like the "I'm a vegan" would be the next appropriate level in this conversation.

Maybe you could offer to buy the copy from the forum member you referenced before reaching out to the forum as to not get ridiculed... you really should think things through... I don't know if your out for attention because most of what you post, I wouldnt post myself unless there are no other solutions/resources, information already available. (i.e. The hack post...why even bother? Just change your password...)

He just likes attention, that's why. He has left a trail of ruined forums in his wake, we are merely the latest infection.

I already bought it, and every single copy I could scour on the internet.

Stay tuned for wicked bonfire video in the near future...

Calm down, bro, he forgave you, even though you didn't ask for his forgiveness.

That is the highest honor; being forgiven by Jim for a comment he took too personally, and, in a self-righteous autistic episode, made all about himself. Or his son. I don't actually know.

Thanks for the clarity brah. I do feel honored now after reading this post.

To show my deepest gratitude. On behalf of Jim (I feel I have this power after receiving his highest honor), I forgive YOU for something you didn't do, or won't do in the near and or distant future.

Please spread the joy!

And I forgive you for all past, present and future offences committed that I, acting as a vessel of the all mighty Jim, may decide to make all about me, and my wicked sweet Mustang life.

The C coupes that I believe this refers to have been out of production for years so I am not at all surprised Dave or Bob would not know about it. They would only be familiar with the newer ones.
Call MBC Toronto and talk to Customer Service. The other option might be MBUSA or the Classic centre in LA.

I knew that was coming. Or should have known, at any rate.
I'm kind of offended though that I was neither forgiven nor damned.
Used to be people cared enough to throw me under the bus too.

Thanks, Alex. I'll try the 3 places you suggested.
