Just got a "new" MB!

Hey everyone...

If anyone remembers my battles selling my w126 SEL, (which is still for sale)
I went in the meantime and got the W202 that I always wanted!

A very very mint condition 2000 C230 Kompressor! It only has 70 000kms on it and has every proper service done at a local MB dealer. It was traded in at a small rural fine car dealer in place of a Lexus and I found it the same day it was traded in. It was worth the drive out! I got a fantastic deal.

Being in Canada, we can get the C-classes in many versions. This one though is the most basic one (CLASSIC)....it even has the rare non-leather interior which I almost turned the car down for before I came to see it. When I did see it I didnt realize how nice the seats can be. The interior is silver. Exterior is silver. I had to actually LOOK for rock chips on this famous weak water based paint...found 2 little ones which were already touched up from the PO.

The car rides beautifully...sure the Kompressor engine can be a bit more refined such as the C280 but its still acceptable with lots of power (although I drive it like a turtle).

Will post pics soon!

Those are very nice little cars. They seem to be among the most reliable and cheap to run MB's.

Is it a manual? I think you can get a 6 speed in those!
