I dealed the car to 14500$ CAN
79k KM on clock not Miles guys
I will be taking a warranty from a 3rd party company probably

Funkwagen

Find out if the transmission has had its service done at ~60,000km, check for any whistling noises with the climate control fan at any speed (seized/worn blower fan bearing)

Thats all I can think of really. Maybe someone else can add to that. Good cars, otherwise

Your EIS/steering lock will fail soon and your command knob will break if has not done so already.
Tail lights will melt earth wire if it has not had the recall done

Are those problems with happen on the 09 models too big daddy

also i have found another w204 with 80k km on clock but has not been serviced at 49kmiles -60k km for the transmision service ..
i could get that one benz for cheap since im dealing straight with a private seller in my city . could i buy it and do the tranny service right away at 80k km since it wasnt done at 60k

Find a c300 instead as it has more value on it. Stay away from cars that did not do the tranny service on time. The 2.5 v6 is a little snail and you might regret it.

I found a c300 with 82k km full equip mint condition , the guy wanted 17g i dealed it to 14 000$ he told me he is the second owner and didnt know he had to do the tranny service at 60k .. One thing he told me is sometime theres a message on dash that say front right fog light failure but the fog is working good his indy told him its only a bad sensor thats it
The guy selling the car because lost his liscence for speeding on highway .. What u guys think 14000$ for 82k km which was not serviced at 60k but i could bring it to the dealer to do it the same day that i would buy it

Big Daddy

Parts are cheap any indie can do the service. Takes a few minutes.
