#6 of 125 Bubba here! by bubba3007 Feb 27, 2001 (8:55 pm)
Hi! I took delivery of my C240 (white, C2, A/T, C/D) on Feb 5, and within three blocks of the show room it was filthy and despite several car washes it hasn't been clean since. You just got to love Nebraska Winters. The car has over 1K miles on it already, I just can't stay out of it. Weather and breakin has kept us from a road trip yet, but just give me some temps in the 40's and we'll be off, even if only for a weekend in Kansas City.   I lurk here (at Edmunds) several times a day and the postings in the C-Class (part 6) group really helped me get through the four month wait for my new toy. I want to thank you all for the support you so kindly, if unknowingly, gave me.   Bubba

#8 of 125 Good Day eh !!?? from Jersey (ex Ottawa, Canada) by diwc240 Feb 28, 2001 (5:33 am)
Hi Everyone !! This is fantastic, what a Club ! I sure have learned alot since I first starting visiting Edmunds last November. Ordered my first MB - a C 240 6 MT Desert Silver on Nov. 8th. Took delivery on Feb. 15th. 450 miles so far and Love the automobile !! It is an absolute Dream ! I still can't believe I am driving the C !! Was very impressed with the Dealership (Millennium MB in Bridgewater, N.J.) and to show you how small a world it is; the owner is from St. John's, Newfoundland ! where during my Canadian Navy days we made a fair number of Port visits and always had a fantastic time! He and I sat down for a really nice long chat on "President's Day" last week. Really looking forward to our C Class Tuesday's Chat. Thank you Edmunds and it is great meeting all the other C owners ! Cheers, Ian
#9 of 125 Expectant Parent......... by norcalmike Feb 28, 2001 (7:12 am)
Hi everyone, Mike here from northern California. I sold my SLK 4 months ago and ordered a C320 which will be "delivered" to the port of Long Beach today. Not much longer and my baby will be safely tucked away in the garage. Thanks to all the Edmund's readers who have been posting thoughts on the C Class. I know exactly what to look for on my initial check ride and pretty much what to expect.
#10 of 125 First MB by newc230 Feb 28, 2001 (9:36 am)
Hi everyone, Aruna here from Baltimore. I have C230K 2000. I am very happy with the car. I visit Edmunds post everyday. I have learn a lot from the postings. I wish I had visited this site before buying MB. I would have saved money for cd install which I paid 900.00. and extended warranty for 2500.00. Thanks for all the info from the readers. Great site.

#11 of 125 C240 experience by portlander Feb 28, 2001 (9:49 am)
Ordered in Sept, took delivery in Dec. I get around 19mpg. The engine is getting smoother as the miles are adding up, 700 so far. Problems encountered so far: 1) engine failure the second time I started the car after delivery due to loose air intake manifold. 2) loss of all electrical functions while the engine was still running, I mean no wiper, no turn signals, no radio, nothing moves in the instrument cluster. All this happened while I was driving on the freeway in a rainy day. 3) sunroof retracted too much and broke the sunshade. To count my blessings: 1) no brake squeak. 2) remote works fine. 3) trunk opens everytime. 4) seat doesn't seem to rock anymore. Despite all these, my wife and I like the car even though we drive her minivan more often.
#12 of 125 Happy MB Owner by ny74 Feb 28, 2001 (12:02 pm)
Finally, we have our Owner's Club... As far as my first MB purchasing/riding experience of C230K goes, the title shows my feeling about the car.   By the way, where are the pictures of C230K? Replies to this message: wesplank (Aug 22, 2007 3:00 pm)
#13 of 125 C-ruzin' in California by lperakis Feb 28, 2001 (2:09 pm)
Greeting! Ordered my car in late December and I bought my C320 in January after someone canceled an order. It is Silver/ash with all options except Sport package. I am most impressed with 1. looks/style. 2. Performance. I LOVE shifting with the auto trans. The car is fun to drive and the pick-up is great. Boy, I'd love to get a AMG C32 due out later this year with 349 hp! 3. Voice control. Not just a gadget but a serious safety consideration when using cell phone, CD player and radio. Even my wife, the skeptic, likes it.   Issues with the car 1. Trunk does not close easily. Needs to be adjusted but will wait until oil change is needed. 2. No contour seat option for passenger side. Why? 3. Gas tank is too small. Should be 18 or 19 gals. not 16.2
#14 of 125 QC by Chrysler? by garyking Feb 28, 2001 (5:35 pm)
Gee, it sounds like MB is having Chrysler do its quality control!<g> Glad I decided to wait till next year for a new "C".

1st year teething problems are common for all vehicles, even Japanese makes. So far the '01 C-class problems have been quite minor.   Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket and Accessories message boards
