Right. A 1998 C230 retails for about $28,000 here. A 1998 C280, same condition is about $32,000. $4000? Yikes! The base price for a C230 in 1998 was $37,950 and the C280 was $49,995.

The twelve grand shrunk to four! And no, the C280 was not that much better equipped to account for the price difference. The only equipement difference was a driver's side power seat and standard Tex vs. cloth. A C230 with roof, heated seats and Tex was about $43,000 with delivery. A similarly equipped C280 was $54,000. Still $11,000!! That difference shrinks every year as the car ages.
