Hi Guys,

I am considering buying a second hand C200, W203(tak mampu beli baru:))

Is it a good choice? I always liked Benz but scared of the maintenance. Can anyone advice?

I am comparing it with cars like camry or prius.

Thanks

Another guy asked the same question the other day in the "alternative fuel vehicle". He was comparing C200, Camry and Insight. I think many were inclined to C200K.

You can check out the replies...

if you asking abt w202, than i must say that it was the last MB to be built like a tank..i Have a 94 model c200 and its still running perfectly at 200k miles on the clock. The newer w203 like most models at its time is plagued with quality issues, this was when MB tried to cut cost and the quality of their car really dropped. Infact they paid a heavy price as many owners dumped their benzes and went for Audi. MB is learning from this though as the newer models promise the over engineering which made MB legendary before. I would suggest c220 of anything above that as the car is quite heavy..the rest of the car is excellent...
