Ok i was looking around on the mercedes benz site the other day and found the c230 kompressor on there. It seems like a pretty good car 6 speed manual transmission, 192 HP(not that great but you can always mod) ,all the goodies you'd expect from mecedes and its only 25,000 for the base model(which is what i would get) any one see any problems with this car. Ill try and post a pic but i always seem to have problems when i do.

They are not that fast, I think like 15.7-15.9 in the 1/4. It would end up costing you more around $28k+. My old manager was buying one when we laid him off. I think the total price3 for the one he was getting was around $32k, and that wasn't even fully loaded. Hold onto your $ and buy a Lancer EVO VII, they should be about the same price.

Well I think it is kind of ugly myself. The Benzo's are cool cars, but I think some of their new styles are kind of bubbley looking. I have seen a couple of the new Hyundai Tiburons and they do have a good look to them, but I still wouldn't buy one of those either. I think it was you who was looking at one in an earlier post.

That Mercedes is so ******* ugly when you see it in person. Maybe a 1985 190 mercedes is more in your price range.

Most of the Benz collection are ugly, but you have to admire their ingenuity

i personally dislike the c230.......my top 3 cars that i would actually buy would be a 2003 cobra factory supercharged v8 with warranty LOL, WRX or a EVO VII when they come out...... i might get an old school audi turbo quattro coupe for a daily driver. we'll see what happens
