I also enjoyed the fantastic paint colors they offered, I was a huge fan of the Mars Red option with a nice black leather interior
I picked up a 2007 with low miles (14,000) because I'm going to drive the heck out of this car and did not want to take a big depreciation hit. I'll only have this a year or so to get me by because I like a car with a bit more power. I still have a Chrysler 300 SRT8 with 425hp so I can get my 0-60 thrills with that when I need. It only gets about 11 MPG so I was spending about $50 a day in gas and I don't want to stack on the expensive miles on that car.

The car is White with Black interior and has the Sport package as well as most the options that came with that year. I miss the memory seats and electronic steering tilt as well as the electric forward and back for the seats. White cars show less dirt and clean up nice and most important tend to be stealthy. I'll be driving 3 days a week down Hwy 101 and on to HWY 280 into San Jose and that section of freeway is the Bay Area Autobahn. Most of the time cars are passing you if you are going 75 and 85 moves with most traffic. It also happens to be one of the most patrolled sections of freeway I've ever seen. My V1 keeps me ticket free and not being flashy helps as well. I like the clean lines of the car but I almost picked up a Loaded 07 330. The car sold the day before I decided to buy the car and parked in its place was this C230. The deal on parts and labor helped me decide on the MB so it was fate the 330 sold. It was a good move.
