The only main feature that I want is the sunroof. And of course it has to be manual. Color I'm not picky as I know with used cars it's kinda hard to be picky. Going crazy looking for this car.

Just picked up a 2005 C230 sedan (the exterior/interior styling is A LOT better than the earlier model years in my opinion), was hard to find the features/mileage I wanted. Finally got one from a dealer, still has factory warranty, and a further 1 yr/100,000 mile MB certified warranty. MB is having a financing special on Cert used right now, so I got a 4.9% loan for 6 years. Those things were huge selling points to me. I looked for a few months on eBay to get a sense of what things were selling for, and where. The one I bought turned up at the dealer as a fresh trade (the 2005's are coming off lease and are old enough that owners are trading them in). Keep your eye on dealers, not a bad place to find one.

I also had another dealer looking for me, most will search the wholesale markets for you, maybe this is another route to look into.


Good luck, loving mine so far

If you want a m/t then the c320 is out because I believe it only comes in a/t but it does have a tiptronic slap shift which is very fun.

I just bought a 2005 C230 a couple of months back. There are a lot of them coming in this year because of Lease returns. A local dealer has one here with only 5K miles on it. Mine only had 15K on it.

Tiptronic just isn't the same as standard for me. Can't drive standard without the clutch.

So I ended up buying a 2004 C230 about a month ago and my gas gage has stopped working a few days ago. Is this a common problem?

Congrats on your new car. This is fairly common and probably the fuel guage sending units. Find a good and honest MB mechanic and have him look at it. The sending units are under the rear seat.
