2003 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Description: Up for sale is my 2003 Mercedes-Benz C220d (W203), directly imported from Germany. This model was never sold in the U.S. market, which makes it a rare find — especially with a diesel engine and 6-speed manual transmission. Clean U.S. Title in hand. Perfect car for a Mercedes enthusiast, collector, DIY mechanic, or export buyer. Runs and drives, but being sold as-is with full transparency. Known issues / notes: • Rear right window goes up and down but sometimes slips out of the track. • Key fob remote not working (likely needs new batteries) — I lock/unlock with the key. • Central locking: passenger door sometimes does not lock/unlock with the rest; other doors work fine. • Telephone unit in the center console not working (radio and screen are fine). • A/C not cooling (likely needs recharge). • Rust on the rear trunk door (see photo). • Paint overall good, but some clear coat peeling/fade due to sun exposure. • Foot-operated parking brake not holding (needs adjustment). Regular brakes work fine. • One fog light missing. • Currently no valid state inspection — but with these small issues fixed, it should pass easily. Why this car is interesting: • Rare C220d Diesel Manual – not available in the U.S. market. • Great base for a project, export,Tuning. • Enthusiasts know these diesel engines can run for very high mileage with proper care. Features / Equipment: • 2.2L CDI Diesel engine – reliable and fuel-efficient • 6-speed manual transmission (rare in the U.S.) • Cruise control (Tempomat) with speed limiter • Automatic climate control (dual-zone A/C) • Power windows front and rear • Power-adjustable side mirrors • Central locking with remote (key fob currently needs battery) • Multifunction steering wheel with radio/phone controls • Original radio with screen (telephone module not working) • Front + side airbags, ABS, ESP, traction control • Fog lights (one currently missing)
