Hello........i just bought my 2004 c230 sport sedan on march 25..............i traded in my 2002 porsche boxster for it .......i bought the car for $1500.00 below invoice including the $1000.00 factory incentive....total price of vehicle was $30k out the door plus tax tags and reg.fees....so far i like the car although i only put just under 100 miles on it .....after driving a boxster for a little over a year it is soooooo nice to drive a car without any rattles .......my wife drives a 2000 c230 and the difference is night and day between both cars ....the older c230 feels much more powerful and alot louder ......while the new one is very very quiet and more refined ....i live in west palm beach florida and purchased the car from Palm Beach Mercedes so far i am very happy ............i will keep you posted </P>
