Description:

I bought my C230 new in early 2005 and have enjoyed it tremendously over the past 15 years DIY'ing all maintenance, repairs and enhancements since 2012 ... but I am making the transition to fully electric so it is time to find this car a new owner who can continue to care for it and enjoy it as I have.

I purchased the car in Redwood Shores, CA 94065, it has lived its entire life in the 94065 zip code and has only been driven in California.

No accidents or body work.

Two sets of keys with fresh new key fob covers, and all the original documentation from when I bought the car.

All recalls serviced on it and still drives very well (better than any of our other cars!)

Upgrading the stereo was one of my big projects ... I am a pro audio sound guy on the side so getting the stereo to sound really good was one of my priorities. I put this all in myself:
