#37 of 125 C240 after six months... by mhs7386 May 09, 2001 (12:53 pm)
Have had my C240 (Brilliant Silver w-Charcoal) since early November and not one problem to report. After the first few hundred miles, the engine seemed to run smoother and pick-up seemed easier. Love this car in every way, after getting used to it being on the small side compared to my previous rides.   Matt (mhs7386aol.com)

Is anyone out nearing the end of your lease, or maybe even not that close to the end, but are already getting offers to buy the vehicle from the lessor? It doesn't matter if you plan to take the offer or not. Does this describe your situation? If so, please post your story in our discussion Talk to the Press, or respond directly to Jeannine Fallon, our PR Director at Edmunds jfallonEdmunds.com. As always, your identity will be protected at your request. Thanks much! KarenS Host Owner's Clubs
#39 of 125 My Black C320... First in Chicago Area I believe.. by interweb May 15, 2001 (7:05 pm)
I got my 2001 C320 Black I believe one of the first, if not the first Black C320, in Chicago I got it back when it was released in September 2000....   Great car. I had only these problems:   1) Drivers Side window had an air leak where noise was coming in and was heard during highway speeds.   2) They fixed that problem but then introduced a squeaky window open/close problem, which was then fixed   3) The Teleaid Alarm System one time FALSED around 2AM in the morning and we got a nice wake up call.... Well, fortunately there was no intruder.... Anyone else have a false alarm?   4) Now just yesterday I got the TELEAID VISIT SHOP SOS error message where I read about back in October. There's a computer software upgrade to fix this problem. Gotta bring it in for repair... Anyone else have this problem?   Its a great car but all these little problems?? My first Mercedes and am happy, but I expected less problems then this!   Later!

Glad to read that you're enjoying your car. Regarding the minor problems, it's a first year model, so it's really not surprising. German makes have typically not matched the Japanese makes in terms of reliability, so if that's where you're coming from, you will have to be aware of this. The trade-off is a great driving experience, and the prestige of owning a Mercedes-Benz, of course   Good luck, Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket & Accessories message boards
#41 of 125 Thanks... Are there any other bugs out there? by interweb May 15, 2001 (7:33 pm)
Besides the Teleaid bug I read about before are there any other bugs in the C320? I've been off these boards since October and am trying to catch up.... I saw something about a fuel filter defect in the C240 series??? Thanks!
#42 of 125 Hello from Paul_P who loves MB! by paul_p May 22, 2001 (12:57 am)
I purchased my Y2K C230 Kompressor Special Edition Sport new in August of 2000 when RBM of Atlanta had a whole flock of C's on their lot - and 8 of them were Special Edition Sports! I was happy with my '95 C220 but couldn't resist the newer car - engine power was incredibly increased, options were abundant, and the price was more than right. The salesperson was awesome too!   I love driving the car everywhere, especially out in the north Georgia hills among the farms and cows. We've got some overambitious speed detection personnel though - so I'm very careful with the Kompressor! It must drive them crazy that the Silver Benz always obeys their limit. It's for other's safety though, so I really don't mind. But I do like to hear the turbine spin, especially once I get to the Interstate!   The only thing I wish I had done was add in the trunk-mounted CD changer. I am looking to do this sometime this summer - does anyone have details on a most cost effective method? I did without one for 5 years in my '95 C220, and would really like to get one for this car.   I'm new to the group and it's good to see all of your postings! Looking forward to sharing info on C-Class and other MB autos, as all classes of MBs are beautiful machines and through them I continue to meet the nicest people.   Best Regards,  - Paul_P from Kingston, Georgia

Edmunds.com is looking for Community Leaders for MB C-Class Owners. Anyone interested? It isn't difficult and about the only thing we ask is that one CL attend the weekly chat.   Let me know!   KarenS Host Owner's Clubs
#44 of 125 Hello by tschreyer Jun 15, 2001 (12:24 am)
I'll be getting in our first MB this Saturday, June 16th.   It's a desert silver/charcoal leather C240 auto, C1, C2, C4, C6 Sport. This will be our first "luxury" car and we're very excited about driving our two young daughters around in this super-safe, super-advanced, little sports sedan. I'm also eager to be driving a German-engineered vehicle again.   We're in the Lancaster, PA area. I've been reading the C-Class sedans list for some time, enjoying it, and I'm planning to share my new MB experiences with all the helpful people there.   See ya!   Tim
#45 of 125 2001 C240 transmission problems? by dadval1 Jun 17, 2001 (9:01 am)
we have a new C240 which, from the first day has hesitated when going slowly around a turn, then feels like it's going to stall. When accelator is pressed hard, it then lurches forward.   Anybody experiencing anything like this?
