Hey everyone, I'm Justin. Just signed up here and I'm from the Boston area. I've had a 2011 C300 Sport 4Matic for almost a year now and love the car. I don't have many pictures yet but will be taking more soon. I will upload them from my PC because the movile uploader isn't currently working for me. Nice to be a part of the forum and hope to be learning a lot from everyone! (I'm not new to cars but this is my first european car, previously had 98 Eclipse GSX and 90 300ZX TT).

Welcome to MBWorld Justin. Nice looking w204.

Let us know if you ever want to upgrade any of her lighting. Eyebrows, rear plate, fogs, interior, low beams, etc are all popular in pure white. We have an in house w204 so we're very familiar with that platform

Thanks guys. I actually just ordered a set of HIDs from the retrofit group the other day and a black single fin grill that should be here tomorrow as well. I got some depo smoked sidemarkers with 6000k leds as well but will definitely look more into the other lighting!

No problem. Like the retrofit group, we also carry Morimoto products so feel free to hit us up if you ever have any needs on those products and we can see if we can be competitive in pricing.

Hey Justin. I just joined the forum too because I'm looking for a c300 (since joining I'm starting to lean toward an e350 instead). Since you've had yours for a year now how comfortable is that car with 4 or 5 adults in it? I need a car for my business which means transporting customers and my biggest concern besides price is size.

I'm also from MA and used to have a 300zx TT which is one of my all time favorite cars.

I don't personally know too much about the E350 to make a comparison, but the C300 is definitely comfortable for 4 adults (never had 5 in one yet). I usually only carry two but have taken 3 or 4 plenty Of times and have also been in the backseat of my friends 2012 C300 when we have been on some trips and I can say the car is plenty comfortable and enough room where ever you sit.

Yeah my 300zx was also one of my favorite all time cars but it got totaled when I was rear ended. Such a shame I got it for $5,500 with only 79k miles and never had one issue with it.
