Picked up a new toy. well rather I pretty much stole it...
Well It was time to get my Fiancee a new car. Picked up a 2004 C240 with 17,600 miles on it. no more civic for her.
I literally stole the car off the lot for the price I paid for it.
I paid $19,500 for it which included the tax and licensing, Certified Pre Owned with warranty till 2009 and maintenance till 2008. and can get the extended warranty till 2011 on it!
KBB on the car is About $29,000! original stick was close to $40,000. I should have paid at the very least $$24,000 - $26,000 for this car if not more! It pays to have your brother working at the dealership I bought it from.
It is silver on black. stock 16" wheels, which I already have in the works their replacements, a set of the C7 wheels.
Tint is going on monday. I'll post pics once I have the whole wheel thing worked out. Car is in great shape with 2 small dings I will take care of later. I will probably rebadge it to say C320, but not sure I may just debadge it.
Not many mods planned for it, cause it is for the Fiancee, but there is one big mod planned for it. Should be done by december!
Yes, Scroll down...
Yup, That is my future Child in the oven as we speak. We find out what it is at the end of the month...

congrats! W203's are nice cars
but please do not rebadge to say c320 if it is not a c320. you are only lying to yourself. debadge would be the best option.
any future mods planned? (suspension, brakes, exhaust, engine)
if you plan on lowering, go with the tein basic coilovers. great product for a very good price.
for brakes, you can get the c32 amg front brake kit for around $800 this includes 13.6" cross drilled rotors and 4-piston brembo calipers
the exhaust, you have many options like eisenmann, remus, supersprint, weltmiester...
the engine, there are some good pulleys availible. the c240 can feel a bit slow with only 168 hp. if you really want power, you can get the kleemann supercharger, but its expensive ($9000)
let me know if you have any questions about the w203.
