Congrats on the W203...the albaster white on MB's is one of the best looking whites out there next to Nissan/Inifiniti's white. Good choice...and enjoy the ride. I doubt you will have many issues with the car as MB has worked out lots of the kinks in the C class platform...knock on wood...I have had the same amount of issues (zero) with mine as I did my GS or RX.

Love the design of the c class. It's my 4th favorite benz behind the cl, sl, cls...in that order. I won't go into any reliability issues as they are well documented here. This is the time to say congrats on the new ride. I wish you years of enjoyment.
Are you going to mod it? They look great with staggered wheels.

Many people are saying MB cars are not reliable. Maybe it holds true for new/newer cars and I can't comment since I do not have them. However, I have 2 older S-class MBs and one is approaching 300K on the original engine and tranny. Except for the regular maintenance and some wear items, it has not costed me anything else. It only left me stranded on the road once because of the alternator belt broke off. It's aging but it sure out lasts my other newer cars (Nissan Centra, Toyota Camry & Corolla, Honda Civic & Accord, and Bimmer). Why don't they build car the way they used to? 
congrats and enjoy your new ride.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but does 29k seem like a high price to anyone else for a C230k demo car with 10k miles on it already? Did it come loaded with every bell and whistle, except for the HK sound system, and a couple call girls to boot?
Anyway, nice car, congrats. Good thing they threw in the extended warranty, I'd personally be a bit weary of a demo car as it most definitely was thrashed hard, although cars these days seem to be able to withstand quite a bit of abuse to the mechanicals. Peronsally, I would most definitely ditch it as soon as the warranty ends, given its history, or at least as soon as an expensive repair is needed. Again, not trying to rain, just trying to suggest what may be in your future.
