The Mercedes c230. Pretty inexpensive too..

How much they going for? V8 or 6?

not a fan of the c series.

e series all the way.

that is a prety sick car though.

It's a 1.8 at 189hp. They go for about 21K-25K for an 03-05.

Atleast it looks sick. S2k's go for more then those do. lol

my brother in law has one. its not bad. get a 320 if you can...if not why not just an IS300?


im thinking of getting the wife an IS250

Dude that's pretty sweet ride thats for sure. I would own that exact car thats for sure. I didn't think they were that long. I always thought the C230's were short, well maybe just the new ones, but whatever year that one is, it looks sweet with those wheels on it.

Screw it, I want a 240

to bad to do a 240 like that it would cost as much as the benz

What about this?

im taking the wife down to check those out....i have already been....44k sticker on the is350 i want though.....can get a loaded 250 (no mark levinson audio) but navi and ac seats ect ect ect for 36 sticker.....

its just tuff to go from no car payment to car payment again.

Check Costco.com or Samsclub.com. You can get good deals. Thats how we bought the xterra and the mazda. No haggling and you know the price before you even show up.

Get a 240 Dallis!!!

I dig that car, it's just a pain to go from a car that has the comforts of 2003 back down to 1997...

That Mercedes is tight

if you get the 240 you already start out with more power than the Benzo.

for a benz, i would get a CLK 320 at a minimum.

funk the old cars, i will never buy (ab)used cars again.

the IS is sweet too tho, like u said, don't want a car payment and my car is still fairly new.

edit: scratch that, it's called CLK 350 now.

screw that 350...i built one that was close to an IS350 in features (it seems like everything is an option on the benz) and it came out 4k more than the IS350 and still lacked a few features and almost 40hp
