2011 c300 4matic sport
Smile used car advise

Hi everybody, a couple of days a go I felt in love with a c300 4matic!! and I want to buy it!! the car is at one of the dealer shop, she is a 2011 4matic luxury black and she has 40,000miles the price is 26k. I drove it and checked it inside outside, the engine and nothing was looking wrong on my eye although i want to do the best to make sure I don't get any future problem. Beside checking on carfax.com for her history and ask for the service book what should I do to make sure everything is fine with the car??
cant stop thinking about it!!!

Be aware that at 40,000 miles car is due for a transmission service. It's pricey so either ask dealer to include it or be prepared to pay around five hundred bucks.

You still have some factory warranty on it so any problems will become evident by then and fixed under warranty. If I'm not mistaken a lot of problems with the 4 matics are transmission , but at 40k miles it would have most likely already shown symptoms.

Price seems kinda high for that what packages are on it (IE nav power seats with memory?) Or you may live somewhere that they are pricey at. I can tell you this car scared me at first just like my GTI did when I got it. German cars make noises and do other things Japanese cars or american cars don't do. Good luck and hope you get one I am in love with mine right now.

As others noted, trans service at40k is important. I also agree that $26k might be just a little high, but it comes down to the car, options and how much you like it to send a little more.

Is it at a MB dealership or just a random?


If MB, they should already have done full B service along with transmission fluids, at least they did with mine and I bought it @ 35k miles.
