Default mercedes-benz question.

I was out looking at some C230's Sport Coupe...

And I am a bit confused on something.

I looked at a 2002 C230 and a 2002 C230 Kompressor.... THe kompressor was 3,000 more then the non-kompressor version, but put out arounf 10 less horse power and a little less Torque...

When I questioned the guy he couldnt give me to much of an answer... (go figure... arent sales guys great). I thought kompressors where Supercharged versions of teh motor but both window tags said they were 4cy SuperCharged. Also the Kompressor was a 1.8L engine when the standard was a 2.3L.

So my question is why is teh car cost more if its badged kompressor when it has nothing more to offer then better fuel milage??? All I could see was smaller engine and less HP??? It didint seem to have any more optiosn then the regualr C230 Sport Coupe

Thanks,

Mike
