you should expect the problem of not being able to fit more than 4 chicks in your car. other than that the car is bullet proof.

Welcome to the forum.

The 2006 C230s have a potential problem with cam sprockets not being hardened enough. Johnand here can help you decide if your car is at risk (if it is, it doesn't necessarily mean it will happen). If you have an automatic tranny, you should make sure you flush the fluid regularly (I think about 40K miles).

Enjoy it!

Also you'll want to change out the cam sensor magnets. They're know to leak
