First Drive: 2002 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport CoupeA hatchback by any other name wouldn't be a MercedesFrom the June, 2001 issue of Motor Trend / By Todd Lassa / Photography by The AuthorMercedes Benz has a brand new sports coupe when viewed from the side. Get behind it, though, and you can't miss its hatchback styling. With this all-new C-class variant, Mercedes hopes to change Americans' perception of hatchbacks as entry-level cars-while also altering the perception of Mercedes as a brand many can't afford.Designed to compete with the Acura RSX (Integra), BMW 3 Series Compact (not yet committed for our market), and maybe even VW's GTi VR6, the C230 Kompressor Sport Coupe mixes the feel and versatility of those sporty hatchbacks with the solidity and quality of a Mercedes-at a base price well below 30 grand.Its 2.3L/190-hp 200 lb-ft supercharged I-4 provides sprightly performance-Mercedes conserv- atively estimates 0-60 mph in 7.5 sec. The four works best with the six-speed manual gearbox, because the optional five-speed automatic emphasizes supercharger lag. Shift throws for the six-speed feel shorter than in the SLK. Steering is like the C-Class sedan's-quick and crisp. The rear-drive Sport Coupe's suspension, identical to the C-sedan's optional Sport setup, is compliant yet serves up good cornering grip and no excess body roll. It feels quite tossable and lighter than its 3300-lb (European-spec) curb weight. At 171.1 in. in overall length, the Sport Coupe is about 7 in. shorter than a C240 sedan, but just 60 lb lighter than the U.S.-spec C240 V-6.The coolest option-a panoramic sliding sunroof that really lets the sunshine in-adds just 44 lb. Like the '88-'91 Honda CRX, the Sport Coupe has a small strip of glass in the vertical part of its hatchlid, below the backlight, to aid parallel parking.Will the Sport Coupe succeed as an entry-level Mercedes in the U.S.? Probably. Euro-centric buyers who like the modern, versatile style of hatchbacks will appreciate it-not to mention young buyers looking to move up to a premium nameplate. Expect a base price of about $27,000, with lots of standard equipment.

First Drive: 2002 Mercedes-Benz C230 Kompressor Sport Coupe
A hatchback by any other name wouldn't be a Mercedes
From the June, 2001 issue of Motor Trend
/ By Todd Lassa
/ Photography by The Author
Mercedes Benz has a brand new sports coupe when viewed from the side. Get behind it, though, and you can't miss its hatchback styling. With this all-new C-class variant, Mercedes hopes to change Americans' perception of hatchbacks as entry-level cars-while also altering the perception of Mercedes as a brand many can't afford.
Designed to compete with the Acura RSX (Integra), BMW 3 Series Compact (not yet committed for our market), and maybe even VW's GTi VR6, the C230 Kompressor Sport Coupe mixes the feel and versatility of those sporty hatchbacks with the solidity and quality of a Mercedes-at a base price well below 30 grand.
Its 2.3L/190-hp 200 lb-ft supercharged I-4 provides sprightly performance-Mercedes conserv- atively estimates 0-60 mph in 7.5 sec. The four works best with the six-speed manual gearbox, because the optional five-speed automatic emphasizes supercharger lag. Shift throws for the six-speed feel shorter than in the SLK. Steering is like the C-Class sedan's-quick and crisp. The rear-drive Sport Coupe's suspension, identical to the C-sedan's optional Sport setup, is compliant yet serves up good cornering grip and no excess body roll. It feels quite tossable and lighter than its 3300-lb (European-spec) curb weight. At 171.1 in. in overall length, the Sport Coupe is about 7 in. shorter than a C240 sedan, but just 60 lb lighter than the U.S.-spec C240 V-6.
The coolest option-a panoramic sliding sunroof that really lets the sunshine in-adds just 44 lb. Like the '88-'91 Honda CRX, the Sport Coupe has a small strip of glass in the vertical part of its hatchlid, below the backlight, to aid parallel parking.
Will the Sport Coupe succeed as an entry-level Mercedes in the U.S.? Probably. Euro-centric buyers who like the modern, versatile style of hatchbacks will appreciate it-not to mention young buyers looking to move up to a premium nameplate. Expect a base price of about $27,000, with lots of standard equipment. A fully equipped model, with panoramic sunroof and navigation system, should sticker in the low-$30s.
Is that a screamin' deal for a Mercedes, or a lot of money for a compact hatchback? Yes.
WE HOPE YOU ENJOY THE PHOTOS OF THIS FINE CAR. HOPE YOU ENJOY THE OVER 50 HIGH RESOLUTION PICTURES THAT SHOW THE POSITIVES AND EVEN ANY NEGATIVES WE SEE.

Fee and Tax Information: 1.Dealer Fee of $399.00 is added to each FINAL bid. This means if you win a bid at $10,000.00 you would pay a total of $10,399.00. By Florida law, if we charge a dealer fee, we must charge all customers the same, via computer/ in or out of state, dealer or non-dealer.
2. Florida customers pay the Florida sales tax and registration charges. Also, Dealer Trades is required to handle the registration of the vehicle. OUT OF STATE CUSTOMERS WILL RECEIVE AN EXEMPTION FORM TO AVOID PAYING FLORIDA TAXES. WE WILL PROVIDE ALL THE TITLING DOCUMENTS NEEDED FOR YOUR HOME STATE. YOU PAY ONLY YOUR HOME SALES TAX. WE ALSO PROVIDE A 30 DAY TEMPORARY PLATE TO TRANSPORT THE VEHICLE TO YOUR TRUCKING COMPANY SO THAT THE CAR IS LEGAL ON THE HIGHWAY.
WE ARE DEALER TRADES, A NEW CAR DEALER WHOLESALER. OUR PRIMARY BUSINESS IS ASSISTING NEW CAR FRANCHISED DEALERS KEEP THEIR INVENTORY UNDER 60 DAYS OF AGE. MANY OF OUR DEALERS ARE OWNED BY PUBLIC COMPANIES WHO REQUIRE A 60 DAY TURNOVER TO PROVE TO THEIR SHAREHOLDERS THAT THE VALUES OF THEIR INVENTORIES ARE REALISTIC AND NOT BLOATED BY AGE OR MISTAKE.
THESE DEALERS ARE CURRENTLY SPENDING $800- $1,500 TO PREPARE CARS FOR RETAIL.
THIS MEANS THE DEALER AT 60 DAYS HAS TO TAKE THE CAR TO AUCTION WHERE HE GENERALLY LOSES THIS REPAIR MONEY, PLUS THE COST OF MANPOWER, TRANSPORTATION, ANY DAMAGES AND WHOLESALE LOSS.
I HAVE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM WHEREBY THE DEALERS REDUCE THESE LOSSES BY OVER 50%.
THIS SYSTEM ALSO GIVES ME THE OPPORTUNITY THE CHERRY PICK A FEW NICE CARS EACH MONTH OUT OF THE OVER 500 UNITS THESE MAJOR DEALERS WHOLESALE.
WE HAVE ALMOST NO OVERHEAD AS WE SUBLET ALL RECONDITIONING AND REPAIRS. OUR WAREHOUSE IS NOT FANCY BUT RATHER DESIGNED FOR SECURITY. THERE IS NO ADVERTISING AS WE SELL ALMOST EXCLUSIVELY ON EBAY. LASTLY, THERE IS NO SALES COMMISSIONS AS THERE IS SARAH, MY ELEVEN YEAR OLD DAUGHTER, SWEET TEA OUR DALMATION PUPPY AND MYSELF.
WE ALWAYS TRY TO OFFER THE BEST COMBINATION OF PRICE AND VALUE. WE NEVER FORGET THAT OUR SUCCESS IS BASED ENTIRELY ON YOUR SATISFACTION.
