Used 2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 230 Supercharged Hatchback for Sale near Santa Cruz, CA

my baby.. fast.. good on fuel excellent handling

I have owned the car for a few years and overall, I would say it was a great relationship. The car is fun and looks great. The down side is I am unable to tow a boat because trailer hitches are expensive for this car.

I bought mine used in 2007 with 29k miles on it. I haven't regretted my purchase at all. Compared to the 2006 BMW 325i my brother has, the handling on the road is much more grippier and has an excellent stock sports suspension. The supercharger really makes a difference, and the fuel economy is great. I only wish I had a model with a glass roof. The only downside of this car is the limited modding capabilities. You can only do so much with the 1.8L supercharged '03. If you want to spend some extra bucks to mod your car and you're interested in purchasing a used C230, go for the '02 model or just dish out a couple thousand more for the C320. Otherwise, this is excellent for the budget sports car enthusiast who is not interested in modding.

I expected to own this car for about 2 years and then sell it, but it now has over 150,000 miles on it and is in great shape. It is now primarily my work car, I intend to buy another at some point. This is by far the best car I have ever owned!

I average 30,000 miles per year and close to 30 miles per gallon. It's still a fun car to drive after now having 200,000 miles on it. Repair costs have been acceptable. It has a lot of the features from the more expensive models which is a real plus.
