Yeah we were thinking about 1500 or so....he wants 2500, but he's crazy.

We'll probably offer 1500, if we buy it it will be a project car and we'll replace the trans ourselves. Can get a used one for less than 1500 with under 80k on it and a warranty. It'd be a lot of work, but to have a pristine C230 for 3.5k or so....would be awesome!

I see the C230 in your sig is identical to this one, do you like the car? Any issues with it?
