@GoBoGo I'd love a Sport Coupe and have been looking for the right one for years now. They're great drivers.I remember when the C-class was introduced and got an invite to one of those 'test drive events' downtown (parking lot of old Turner Field) or at AMS parking lot--I remember putting several cars (and competitors) through their paces but actually had the most fun in the C-class coupe (e.g. hatchback) with the manual and a large sunroof. It was smallest (therefore lightest, with a 4-banger) and was a ton of fun to toss around!@GoBoGo I’m such a fan and I love seeking out slept on rare “common” cars. With the miles… yeah, unicorn is about right.Kind of a unicorn. Cool vehicle!Good luck to the final bid today! I'm available as needed until the end and looking forward to speaking with the next lucky owner. Thanks to all for a good auction thus far.$14,500 bid placed by @apooster

@Bad_Idea_Dante No problem! I have a ton of info in my listings it’s easy to miss stuff.@Stuttgart_Steel That's my bad. I should have been thorough. Thanks for the response!@Bad_Idea_Dante March of last year. Those markings you see are not fixable via paint correction. If you watch the video I cover the scrapes in detail there.@Stuttgart_Steel - Do you know when was the paint correction performed? Asking because of all the present marking on the front end of the car in photos ~40-48.With seven hours left, just want to check in with everyone! If I had the room, I probably would have bought this car for myself before doing the photoset with the owner. I shot it for DC Motorwerks when they owned it and just drove it around for a while before returning to their shop since I just kind of clicked with it. It's kind of the reason why my driving video here was long... I didn't want to give it back. A few key points: - Recent service by MB independent specialty shop DC Motorwerks who went through it - 2 keys - Original paint - Sport package car (AMG body kit and staggered wheels, revised springs and dampers, thickers sway bars) - 1 on approximately 1000 manual C300s sold in North America making this about 3x as rare as a SLS. - 37k original miles - Immaculate and complete interior - Enthusiast owned - Full paint correction Not sure when another one as nice as this will pop up again. Really happy to have this car on my profile.@DCMotorWerks It's been made even nicer since you guys serviced it last year too!This car is really as nice as they come. The interior is a pure time capsule of every sensory input taking you right back to 2007's showroom floor. Coupled with the already uncommon manual transmission, it really ticks all the boxes.Just checking in on everyone and making sure bidders have everything they need from me. PM me or comment! Thank you for all the private messages so far.Dang. Enjoy.$13,000 bid placed by @Bad_Idea_Dante

I love seeing all the guys who know their stuff come out of the woodwork on this one. It’s hard to understand how good these are until you drive one. In theory and on paper they sound just fine, but driving them is a whole other story. I tried to captivate that in the video. I’m going in a Matt Kweik rally tomorrow in my E55 AMG and there’s a large part of me that would rather be in this on the tight Western North Carolina roads than my W210.$10,000 bid placed by @Bad_Idea_Dante

Ooofff...... This is sweet. Better looking than the face lifted version too.Okay I'm really excited to help sell this car since I'm such a huge fan with how these drive. When I can, I always opt for manual transmissions in all of my other non Mercedes since in all reality, I'm a manual snob and a driver. I'm so pleased Mercedes stuck a six speed in the W204 because these absolutely rule. I am obsessed with the driving dynamics and the way the engine wakes up with this transmission. You can use every ounce of power and this is a true Mercedes sports sedan. Not only is it a good spec (black/black is ubiquitously liked and timeless), but it has the Sport kit with the staggered AMG wheels (and upgraded suspention) AND it has barely any miles. I personally try to either buy high mileage obscenely maintained Mercedes or low mileage cars since I'm a suspension freak and like my stuff to feel like new. This car has that new feel to the bushings and everything else that bears load and articulates. The interior is in ridiculous condition and smells like how I remember these smelling in the showroom. I'm selling this on behalf of the owner whose garage was this and a Guards Red 997 C2S as its stable mate. Kind of a perfect two car solution, isn't it? I love that it was enthusiast owned and he's selling it because he got another car and didn't want to kick this one outside since. Let me know if you have any questions or need anything else to make you comfortable bidding on this really rare W204. I'll be around to help in any capacity.
