The 4.3 liter V8 is a sweet engine. You're gonna love it.

My mom had a W202 C class car, and I found the front seat to have generous amounts of legroom.

Yes I had a w202 C180 back in Australia, I really loved that car but was only a 1.8l 4cylinder so the c43 should be a nice change!

Will post some comments on it once I pick it up

I love this car and engine. OMG. Seems it got the Xenon light option too.

Has Black/Navy interior.

It pulls nicely. Sounds great too.
The car is in really nice shape. I need to get the front end fixed up (spray bumper, fix broken foglamp etc)

Not a bad daily driver! Though not as classy as your other one (in my opinion) - good luck with it.
