iPhone app helps buyers find used C230s in New York

Mercedes-Benz (MB) and Apple have come together to develop an iPhone application that could make finding used C230s in New York easier.

MB recently announced mbrace, a new system that connects drivers to their Mercs using their iPhones, according the New York Times. The system will include all sorts of features, like an application that will allow owners to unlock their cars using their mobiles.

Another application included in the system will help MB enthusiasts find their local dealerships, reports the new source. C230 lovers, for example, can receive directions to the closest MB locations on their iPhones and go check out the sales floor or have their vehicle serviced.

The 2005 C230 Kompressor features a 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine equipped with a supercharger compressor, according to Automotive.com. This Merc’s motor gets about 23 miles per gallon (MPG) in the city, 32 MPG on the highway and produces nearly 190 horsepower.

The mbrace system could both improve the driving experience for existing MB owners and help interested parties find used C230s in New York and elsewhere.
