After the insurance payout of £8333, minus my excess of £1k I am left with £7333 plus any money I have lying around. Lucky for me I have a little bit tucked away. I can stretch to about 11k maybe but that's the ceiling I'm afraid.


I'd be doing myself out of a discount purhcase of your grill, BUT.....


that Sunstone Orange C230K is lovely!

Wheels and arch trims already in place!

You never know those may even be Xenons, or at least you already have the washer system in place.

A £3K loan wont take much repaying :D

Theres a nice looking C230K on findit.co.uk. Low mileage but a bit overpriced for a P Reg Manual though.

Nick,

So phone them up and offer them £11k for a quick sale on their C230K, what have you got to lose? ;) :D What's the worst they can do? They can only say no. :devil:

My car was originally marked at £14k, I eventually got it for £13k, part-ex'd my old motor for a £1K (it was worth £650 tops) and got a 1 yr warranty FOC. 'Tis a buyer's market at the moment. :rock: :cool:

S.

P.S. Wouldn't it be funny if whoever bought it came here and then found out we knew about the car before they did :bannana:

P.P.S. @ VIKJ is that a C230 or C230K with AMG bodykit?

You mean like Graham's? I saw Graham's car and even posted a pic of it LONG before he bought it, like about 4 months before! It worried me a little that it had been sitting on a forecourt for so long without being sold but Graham bought it and it turned out to be a good 'un :)

LOL that was fuuny.

I remember seeing it in a post of Shudes.

Knew that it was at the dealer I use (Cambridge Autos) but never thought twice.

Months later, I was at the dealer, buying my wifes '98 Fiesta Zetec, which they had sourced for me.

I believe they had also bought the C230K in for someone specific, who let them down. Having seen the spec and the car in real + 1 test drive later I was sold. The fact I had just bought one car from them, was part exing the C200 (which I bought from them 12 months prior) and they had had the car a little while negotiated me a nice price.

Their stock is mixed, but some cars stay longer than others and they do tend to turn over the same cars a lot (buyers tend to stay with the dealer and so sell the cars back when it's time to change).

:eek: way to go...unless you drive a lot (which is what you do...)...
btw: that CLK55 cluster fits in a pre model updated 210 as well...don't sell it too quick!
Personally I don't like the 210 and rather have a 202, but that is just me...I like the sunstone orange one that was posted...

greetingz,
 
Buy the orange Sunstone C-class and make it look like Toni's C55!!!!!! ;)

Could you live with LHD? I'm guessing if it's AMG you probably could ;)

S.

DONT BOTHER

This car is a bag of Sh*te - I looked at it before i bought mine
It was offered to be by a dealer in Kent for £9500 - and I tuned it down!!

It was then bought by a local guy who had it into my mates ICE shop - and he said it was awful aswell !

What was wrong with it? Poorly looked after? I thought it seemed a steal for an AMG SL :crazy: Oh Well... too good to be true by the sounds of it. :confused:

I still love that Sunstone Orange C230K

Yes, but won't it read the fuel level the wrong way around?

BTW I'm warming to the orange w202 :)

Steve - that about sums it up

When I saw it - the body didnt do it justice, lots of little dents and marks, and the colour wasnt original - the interior didnt do it a lot of favours either, The dealers just wanted shot of it.

I 'm not sure about the mileage either !!! - maybe its been clocked !!
It didnt look like a 60k mile car then - I wonder if its been "tarted up" for sale

Why would a 60k mile car that has been resprayed - look in poor condition ?

Good point. I think its a C230 and not a K! Even more overpriced then!
