Used Mercedes.

[Tony87gn]

Am looking for a used car and came across this one. The car appears to be in really good shape with relatively low miles. Have a few questions I would like addressed though.

Because it is a Mercedes does that mean any type of maintenance will be really break the bank. Any help would be appreciated.

Seems like a great deal! Just make sure the car is checked over or have an independent shop take a look at it. (Even if they are a MB Dealer) If those cars need major work it can be costly...If it passes an independent inspection and does not need anything major jump on it!

I have a '99 E320. Bought it 3 years ago with 83,000 on it. Now has 114,000 on it. Been a very good car. I do all my own work on it, lots of help on the Benz board.

can't open your link. Any way, stay away from the 2003- 2007 W211 cars. Lots of problems with those. What year and model is it?

Hmm link works fine for me anyway its a 1999 C280 with 70k miles for 7990.

Benz board has lots of info on those. Scroll down to W202 c class. They can tell you if it is a good deal. And how to take care of it.

make sure you look thoroughly in all door jams inside fenders an 1/4's by hood &trunklid for tape lines from being painted. check under car and wheel well's as well as the core support for over spray. alot of dealers will try to dump a hit car for cheap just to turn a quick profit.

Stick with an american made car..........no sense in supporting a foreign economy.
