Just purchased a new 2005 C230K Sport Sedan and I'd like to install a hitch to attch my bike rack to it. The only place I've found is on the net where they sell Dolan hitch for close to $350, which is outragous, considering all it is, is a couple of braces that bolt in to the underside of the bumper. Any suggestion? I am sure I can have one custom made, but thought I ask..
Thanks

 

Check the Yellow Pages under Trailer Hitches and call around. There should be a few brands and dealers to choose from. You can also call the bicycle shops in your area. The ones I frequent all have a display of hitches and racks.

I assume you want a receiver hitch? I'm not sure anyone even makes a receiver hitch that bolts to the bumper. If someone does, avoid it and get one that attaches to the frame instead.

I'm not sure how much less than $350 you expect to spend, but you should be able to do at least a little better than that.
