Now that C-Coupe is discontinued, where can we find production/sales figures?

Hello everyone....newbie here
I just purchased an '02 C-coupe and was wondering since it is no longer sold in the US, which will make this somewhat rare (only sold from '02-'05), how many coupes were actually sold.

Does MB even break down C class sales by bodystyle?

Here's notes from a phone call John (husband) made to MBUSA 3 February 2005:

Here is a summary of my conversation this morning with Brian Klas, head of the C Class group for MBUSA in New Jersey.

C Coupe was introduced for first time with the 2000 model year. The following figures are from the introduction through 2/3/05.

Total C Coupes to date: 30,000.

Total manual transmission C Coupes to date: 3,300. (11%)

Total C Coupes this year to date: 50

Total C230 Coupes to date: 24,600

Total manual transmission C230 Coupes to date: 3,200

Total C320 Coupes to date: 2,400 (Rare!!!)

Total manual transmission C320 Coupes to date: 30 (Very Rare!!!)


Hope this give you a little more insight.

Carol K,
Thank you very much!!

This is great info, just what I was looking for.

If your husband happens to talk to MBUSA again, see if he can get the by year totals....that would be icing on the cake.

Thanks again[:)]
