W202 saloon c240 or c230K?

[johnnybravo]

Hi guys

I'm looking to buy my second w202 but can't decide between the 4-pot c230 kompressor (rare as hell!) or a c240 v6 - id prefer a manual gearbox but have accepted that i'm seriously limiting my choice this way so will settle for an auto.

I see the c230K had 193bhp and the c240 had 170bhp, which is the better engine comparing fuel consumption and power?

The_Don - lol yes i agree but it's gotta be a c230K or c240 as the '43 is a bit out of my league atm 2bh

 

[John Jones Jr]

C280.

Early one with the m104, the connoisseurs choice.

C230k rare? Wish I'd of know that before I gave my very good condition one to my young brother doh! Might be able to persuade him to sell it though if your interested? It's a sport with just under 140k on and factory fitted amg mono blocks and goes very well indeed here are some pics and pm me if your interested.
