Check the clearance between the rocker panel bottoms and the ground. My 00 coupe is slammed and the 3.5" min Harbour Freight jack wont clear. Solution is to get 2 x 6 boards and use to run up on then the jack clears. There is a Mercedes jack some have bought that is a different type and clears very low heights. Do a search and maybe you can find the thread.

That is what I do. get some 1"x12" x24" boards. Drive the front wheels up on to the boards then you have enough clearance to jack the car up.
