There are only a few made, like max 50 or something. Go figger when you need replacemant parts for it. To bad these kind of cars are always to exclusive to actually drive it. These will end up either in someones collection and will never be driven (sad) or with someones who lacks the value of money and take it to the wall the first corner he goes into at the track..
Good luck to the owner keeping it together
whats going to break that you'll need parts for? Im sure mercedes didn't design braking systems, transmissions, motor parts that ONLY are used with this car... Just because 50 were made doesn't mean you can pull mercedes parts from other places. If you can *afford* it in the first place, im damn sure that mercedes will give you a replacement of whatever you want, and could easily afford it.
I can honestly say I don't like the wheels though

wheels look okay to me, but the rear spoiler looks like something off of a civic

why not just say any carbon fiber spoiler looks the same
that apc spoiler looks nothing like the one on the benz, besides that its CF, the benz one appears to be one piece, not some bolt on universal design, the mounts conform to the trunk as well.
its a status symbol, people with alot of money arent going to bother spending money to dump some engine in a old broke *** car for the sake of going fast.

had almost decided to get the gf a c class sedan when she gets a new car, maybe not now since almost every bay in the shop is occupied by one.
dude, that is EVERY ******* car these days. at my work customers complain about bubbles in the dashboard, electrical problems. **** happens man, every car that I know of has had one recall or more.
cars are meant to be driven, they face rough roads these days, and alot of idiots who simply don't know how to drive. she would be very happy with a c class benz, we had one at work with 115k and we sold it for 10k. it was a clean car, and it was a 240 Kompressor, or it was a 230, i don't remember. mercedes makes a great car.

if i remember correctly, german cars "lately" have had a terrible rep, and terrible reliability.. vw had the poorest reliability of all makes.. right down there with chrysler...
