Car has an aftermarket, transferrable warranty good until November 2009 or 100,000 miles. This car is a "no surprises" car, but with the extended warranty, you can buy and drive this car with complete peace of mind knowing that the major mechanicals are covered.
Car comes with all factory manuals and the original window sticker. I have owned this car since 2004 (when it had 49,000 miles.) Car was purchased out of the Fort Worth, Texas area and has lived the last 4 years in the Southern California area.
I am an auto enthusiast and have meticulously maintained this car. All oil changes have been performed using Mobil 1 full synthetic motor oil with a factory Mercedes Benz oil filter. Modifications and maintenance items I have made to the car include:
NGK Iridium spark plugs (BCPR7EIX-11)
BF Goodrich G-Force KDW tires (245/40-17)
Cross-drilled and slotted front rotors
Porterfield R4-S brake pads (low dust, superior stopping power)
ASP supercharger overdrive pulley (increases power from 192 to approximately 220)
KN high flow air filter
Factory Mercedes Benz COMAND navigation system
Integrated cell phone system (upgraded to Bluetooth, but am including the Universal Handsfree Interface cradle and Nokia cell phone)
Factory Mercedes Benz 6-disc CD Changer
Factory Mercedes Benz auxiliary input (for iPod, etc.)
Mercedes Benz C32 AMG swaybars front and rear (much flatter cornering without sacrificing ride quality)
Eibach springs (lowers car without significantly impacting ride quality. Stock springs included if desired.)
Mercedes Benz AMG Sport Coupe spoiler (tasteful, discreet rear spoiler available only on European Sport Coupes)
Mercedes Benz factory 2005 Coupe tail lights. (Much cleaner and modern looking. Stock tail lights included if desired.)
Tinted windows
New floor mats
Car is well dialed-in and a joy to drive. It is also very fuel efficient. I have included a photo of the trip computer display where I averaged 63 mph and 31.3 mpg. The C230 also follows Mercedes Benz's legendary pursuit for safety with:
8 air bags (2 front, 2 side impact impact air bags for front seats, 2 side impact air bags for rear seats, 2 curtain air bags.)
Electronic Stability Control
Electronic Traction Control
Automatic headlights
Turn signals in mirrors (better visibility)
Automatic headlights
Vehicle flaws: This is a used car, so there are a few flaws. I believe in full disclosure since this helps prevent disappointments for both of us. I have taken pictures of the flaws. Those flaws are:
Small scrape under driver's side headlight
Small indentations on the lower rear bumper (on the lowest skirt around the rear bumper)
Small rock-chips in the front bumper and hood (in-line with the age and miles for this car.)
Why am I selling? I actually don't want to part with this vehicle. It's a tremendous value with all of the equipment and fuel efficiency versus price. But I needed a 4 door vehicle for the family to help reduce mileage we're putting on our SUV. With gas prices where they are, having a fuel efficient 4 door made sense for us.
Bidding Rules and Request: Please have your financing ready before you bid. I reserve the right to cancel bids from those people with zero or negative feedback. If you have zero or negative feedback, please contact me prior to bidding.
I know many of you are amused and tired of the on-going scams, so forgive me for having to reiterate this: I will not accept checks or offers from random countries for exhorbitant amounts of money. I will not take foreign checks, I will not send a balance back to anyone despite a "healthy" brokerage fee. Please don't ask and waste both of our time.
I will ask that the winning bidder provide 20% deposit within 48 hours of auction end, and the balance of the winning bid within 7 days. I will not pay for shipping of the vehicle, but will be glad to help assist in delivering the vehicle to a transport company within a reasonable distance. Winning bidder to contact me so we can work-out details.
Car is for sale locally as well. As such, I reserve the right to end the auction early if the car is no longer available for sale.
