man rick, no one wants to keep this car you had
Thoughts?
Just wondering if this sets off anybody's gaydar. Mercedes-Benz C230 sport.
The owner of a company I worked for had one of these, a tad older(00-02ish?), and it was a only a two door hatch if i recall right..It could of possibly been a C230 Kompressor? To get to my point, it was a total piece of junk, only had a little over 60k miles and had all types of problems. Everytime I drove it, the check engine light was always on. I drove this car at least 10+12 different times. Ordered a few parts for it too, and they weren't cheap at all!
and i'd be scared if someones gaydar went off, lol, don't you have to be gay to have that?

Bo, it's simple, benz=***** magnet, nothing gay about rollin a high class pimp mobile, if I had the cash I'd deff get that or an M3 for sure
^this
Matt, yeah the 05 and before had a 1.8L supercharged 4, and they're kinda spotty, the 06/07 have a 2.5 liter v6 with 201 hp & a 7 speed automatic.
Went out looking at Benzos with my dad today, but I've had my eye on the C230 sports for a while now. When we were on our way back on the test drive I spotted one for sale. After we worked all the numbers and he eventually signed the papers, we went went back to the lot and I took it for a test drive. It's a very nice car, I enjoyed driving it. I had no idea it had 7 speeds. I kept counting the gears and wondered if I was crazy or the transmission was all ****ed up
Short story: Drove one, very nice, too much $$$, life goes on
Longer version: the car's really nice to drive & I like them a lot. They wouldn't move anywhere near a realistic price (at least IMO) unfortunately. As is, I can't swing the price, nor would I after seeing how much my dad's payments are going to be for a truck that costs twice as much with less money down. Maybe something will happen though, who knows. I'm really big into researching the shit out of stuff I'm going to buy, and I didn't have a chance to do that on the 06-07 models with the V6 and the 7 speed, so I didn't want to waste anyone's time working on the numbers.
Funny you say M3. I was looking at them & CTS-V's as well. You could hypothetically get an 01-02 M3 for 17-19k with 50k++ miles on it, or an 05 CTSV for under 22k with 30k miles on it. The M3 is doable, but they have major subframe issues (read: FUBAR'ed if not caught before the problem starts), and I'd really worry about repair bills on that type of a machine. CTSV has differential and transmission problems. Both are too much like the cobra, and I really want to keep it. Good thing I keep looking at shit I can't afford. I have a pretty good talent for that type of thing I think hahahaha

Adam, who pissed in your cheerios? You referenced that you work for a living (because clearly I don't?), and parent's money twice. If you have something you want to say to me I have no problem talking to you privately, I'm a pretty open guy I don't think anybody that actually knows me or has talked to me for any amount of time will say anything otherwise. I got a pretty good deal up through high school, I'm never going to deny that. I'm well aware that I've started out with a head start in the right direction, but I also know where I'm going in life. I have two job (although that just went down to 1 recently. boo fuggin hoo.), and I do some non routine work for my parents as well. What do you want from me by trying to call me out like that? An apology? OK. Sorry I had a Saturday off and shared the automotive experiences that took place during my day in the bullshit thread today, and have done the same in my recent days off, so I could see how you mistake that for being regular. You want me to change my behavior? OK, I'll not talk about shit I'm never going to piss my money away on. An explanation of my exact financial situation? Maybe, but not to a guy that's going to be a dick bag and pout about his life, and certainly not on a public forum.
If you're looking at the cars I'm posting and judging me based off that, then you're not the guy I thought you were. Plain and simple unless its in the driveway its just exactly what this thread is: off topic bullshit. Oh, and I have a $50 fake rolex too if you want to continue to judge me accurately, just pretend it is the real deal and cost $5,500.
Hope tomorrow is a more cheerful day for ya buddy. Your stab has been duely noted, if that's what you wanna get off to.
ok. this post was completely dick and shouldnt have been made. why do you care if someone has it pretty good? would you not accept things if they were given to you when you were young? fvck no you wouldnt. so why b!tch at someone else who might have things going for them a little more than others?
the fact that you are 'damn near 40' and are whining about what another person has is very sad in my opinion . seems to me that you are jealous
and for goodness sake, if you had to drive a geo metro growing up and had to bust your balls for all you have, then you must definitely appreciate what you have more than anyone that gets things 'given' to them. so instead of getting all upset about what other people have, why don't you be proud of what you have worked for and earned?

Bo,
I like the 230 sport. I've always been a fan of 4 doors.
I was looking at E46 M3's for a while too. Only problem with those are that you have to get an early model year with the crank problems or one that is higher mileage to get a decent price on them. 70K E46's will still go for 22K+.
I absolutly love the Laguna Seca Blue with Coral Red interior E46's though. Probably one of my favorite cars.
I also then started looking at LS6 (brain fart) CTS-V's. You can get them for about the same price but with less miles on them. They are nice cars too for the money if you don't mind living with terrible wheel hop. I know I'd live with it!

Bo, have you considered an 05, to 08, Legacy GT? They are AWD and have a 2.5 turbo and they hall ass. (0 to 60, in 5.8 seconds.) You can get them in a stick or a 5 speed auto. My wife and i had an 05 limited and loved it. We bought it in 06 relativley cheep and had it for a year and a half and had know problems with it at all. I believe you can get an 06, to 08, for high teens to low 20s. I know its not a Benz, or Beemer, or an Audi, lol (we have an 07, A4 now and love it).....Just a suggestion buddy.
