Hi, I was wondering if anyone had any information on this car (specifically around a 2003 model) because I was planning to purchase one. From searching on google all I could manage to find was that they were sturdy, safe cars that cost a lot to repair, which I figured since it's a mercedes. Thanks!
its pretty cute, almost got one but I really love having 4 door. The back seats aren't as comfy (kinda a given for a coupe) but it looks hot, esp with the panorama roof and will probably be collectable as it was discountinued. as now will be the clk. watch out, a lot of them have cloth interior. If you're gonna drive a benz you better have leather!
C Class had a lot of problems on electrical equipments, but most of them were correct by 2003. I'm having a C 230 2.5 V6, it's not Kompressor. I've been driving it for more than a year already and there isn't any problem. I put in both 95 octane and sometimes E10 and it doesn't have any problem except sometimes the ! sign shows up on the metre. But, I was told before by Mercedes engineer that the car might get confused on different octane or mixture of the petrol. I stop the engine and start again and the sign disappear. C class from 2007 onward has the sensor to measure the octane of the petrol you put in. It takes from 91 to 98 without problem. It's a good car, I haven't paid more than engine oil and some filters for the first year. Each time cost me less than 200 dollars. I have the AMG version, the car is lower and suspensions are very stiff. It grips the road very well, and I can do more than 200 KMH.
The c230 is just like a lot of the modern mercedes cars, they have some simple issues with build quality but if the car has been looked after by the dealership all the recalls will have been done. Ja.
