63,XXX miles. Only minor problems. None that left me stranded, only Airbag warning required a special trip (to replace defective connector). Others were rattles (2), parking brake out of adjustment, CD player skipping. Love the car!

Oil change every 3-5k (recommended by MB/RennTech Technician), Mobil1 syn, Bosch quad platinum plugs, K&N filters, Tranny fluid/filter replaced at 90k. Coolant flush every year, brake fluid renewed twice.

2002 C230k Coupe, C7/6spd, 43,000 miles.

Squeaky sway bar bushing, as yet unresolved.
Broken windshield (vandalisim)
Broken right fog light ???

Basically, no real problems other than the minor squeak. I'm pretty happy, although the cost of 7.4 quarts of 0w40 synthetic chaffs me a little.

C320 Coupe
I posted the topic, so I guess I should provide my info....

Currently have a 2003 C320 coupe with 51,500 miles (bought with 50,000 miles on it)...So far no problems (fingers crossed it stays this way).

Originally had a 2003 C320 coupe. I bought it new and traded it in at about 25,000 miles (June 2005). Only had a couple problems with that one....my sunroof, one of the clips broke and it wouldn't close...was under warranty so dealer fixed. On occassion after one of my oil changes, the check engine oil light would come on saying there was too much oil in it...was under warranty and the dealer checked out, but could never find a problem, so still a mystery.

I absolutely love this car which is why I bought a second one.....went through 4 cars in the last year and this one totally makes me happy. I was going to wait on the 2008 body style change of the c-class, but decided I would rather have the coupe...perhaps they will come out with another C-class coupe in a couple years.

On another note, I have tried contacting Steve and have not heard back from him. I am interested in doing a couple of mods perhaps and was wanting some price quotes. I emailed him from the addy on his website....is this the best way to get in touch with him?
