Default New to Mercedes

I have an 89 Honda crx si, with a Built LS/Vtec All motor setup, and well...93 octain on 12.6:1 compression still doesn't stop detonation. Long story short...3 broken pistons.

So I needed a car. I went to tle local Luxary dealership, and bought my self a 2000 C230 Kompressor. Huge difference from a Little crx with no power options (not even power steering, uncomfortable most times, and squeeky noises, to a bad *** Very comfortable car with more buttons to push than the apollo 13.

It has just over 65000 miles now.
