thoughts on getting w203 soprtcoupé?the one im going to see is rich spec swiss imported 2004 3.2 v6im in europe and depending on the spec and engine they sell between $1500 up to $6kthis one is listed for around $5kPROS:>bulletproof M112 >722.6 5G-Tronic Gearbox>improved Rust Protection (Facelift)>high-spec (it has the panoramic sunroof, heated full electric seats w memory, harman-kardon audio, xenons, parktronic etc.)CONS:>higher maintenance costs (12 spark plugs etc. some parts are more expensive than in w203 sedan for example)>potential RUST (even tho its facelifted)> mercedes electronics>21-23 mpg (but i wanna to install lpg which is popular in europe and costs half price of gas plus m112 runs well on it)
>>29084892I guess it's fine if you don't mind driving an ugly car. Don't lpg it.
>>29084895the rear isn't pretty but the front i likewhy not lpg?
>>29084892>00s merc
>>29084892>sportcoupé>éNot related, but are European keyboards different so they can use letters with symbols above them?
>>29084892i have owned a 2.0 kompressor for the last 2 yearspre facelift rust is terrible, only thing that doesn't rust is the rear hatch because it's made out of fiberglassi have a 50l lpg tank and because of that i basically don't have a boot and had some major electrical and coolant leakage issuesDON'T LPG IT
>>29084913the french copy no one and no one copies the frencheven bongs have different a different layout
>>29084897I think you are going to lose 15-20% range on lpg as it has less energy density
>>29084897i don't see the pointyou pay a bunch of money, ruin the car in the process and no one will want to buy it from youjust to save $50 a month
>>29084892>swissLand of salted roads and humidity. Hope that car has good rustproofing.
Why not get a CLK320? Those little W203s look like retarded midgets.You could go C208 or C209.
>>29084929Thanks Anon.
>>29084913ñö
>>29084892Been eyeing one myself, looks cheap enough to choose as a trackday/rally car
>install lpg
>E46 compact, but not fun to drive>also crust>slushbox>thirsty V6whyA 325ti is a better car in every possible regard
>>29085100
>>29084892Underrated, a bit frumpy looking but solid as long as it's not from one of the rust-prone years.>lighter weight, RWD liftback>double bones + multilink rear>available with manual + cloth seats even in the US (and often still with a pano roof, funny enough)>supercharged 4cyl or bulletproof V6I owned an E46 coupe years ago and like how it looks better, but I'd definitely look at one of these instead now (if not a Z3/SLK). Significantly more rare especially in manual or with reasonably low mileage now, however.
>>29084892I always see these at ridiculously cheap prices compared to the other versions of that model, so either they are unreliable shit or people just think they're too ugly to pay much for (I'm in the latter desu, that thing looks horrible). Just pay the extra for the sedan or the coupe.
>LpgJust get the 4 cyllinder then you fuckin LOSERImagine buying a "fun" car and ruining it like thisKILL ALL LPG FAGS NOWTHERE WAS AN E38 728i SELLING NEAR ME FOR CHEAP AND I WOULD'VE SNAPPED IT(despite it being autotragic) WAS IT NOT LPG CONVERTEDWhen I save up enough money for a second car damn right I am getting that V12 manual E31 and damn right I am filling it with the best gasoline possibleIf you want a cool car, be ready to pay the pricefuckin loser
