What's a good Mercedes-Benz forum?

What's a good Mercedes-Benz forum?

Looking into 2002-2004 C230s...

Thank you!

I'd not look at the discontinued 4 cylinder C's. They were discontinued for a reason. Prices are so cheap on all of those now, there's no reason to not get a 6 cylinder version, which have a much better engine and are a much better value.

benzworld.org isn't too bad. Some pinheads on there, but generally a good forum overall.

I agree. Get a 6-cyl 230 (year 2006+). You can get a low mileage one for around $16K and still under warranty. The 7 speed auto-manual is a very nice tranny in the C230 6-cyl. The C230 Sport is a nice ride and looks great. I shopped for and my pops bought one a few months back. They are good bang for the buck.

My SLK is a V-6. Very good and reliable.
