#2 of 3 Re: Need Advice: Used 01 to 07 C-Class [Weazell] by afif May 30, 2008 (10:12 pm)
Replying to: Weazell (May 30, 2008 3:04 pm) Some advice for you after having bought 3 mercedes:   -Do not buy the earlier year mercedes-the reliability of the more recent years seems to have improved per Consumer Reports -Consider finding a new 2007 C230 if you absolutely must have a mercedes. There are many dealers who have them sitting in the back lots. I have to admit that I have driven the C230 and I am not impressed with the performance. -My 2002 C320 recently needed a new transmission. It was covered under an extended warranty and had broken down at 99000 miles-I got lucky this time, but my car has been plagued with problems. -Good luck....but be careful...you might find the new Honda Coupe fully loaded to be a better car at a better price

I have a 2002 C320 wagon I bought on E-bay for $13600. It had 74000 miles on it when I bought it about a year and a half ago and now has just crossed 90K. I love the car, routinely get 21-22 city and 26 -27 highway. It was not a pampered car, but well maintained and I drive it like a normal car and not a baby. Maintenance has not been a problem. I put Michelin 90k miles hydroedge tires on it and the handling is impressive, acceleration is mind blowing for a little engine and we love the solidity and handling. Only problem I have is that they 320 wagon was not imported after 2003 so I would have to go up to an E body or down to a 240 if I want a new one.   PW
