W208
Red face Need help with this C55

Hey guys,

I'm thinking about buying this C55 with 120k km / 75k miles on it and I'm interested to hear if any of you W203 guys notice anything out of the ordinary, as I have only ever had a W208.

Looks like it needs a good clean, not sure what is going on with the cup holder and the rusted wheel / caliper doesn't look great .

Cheers.

Only thing different I can see is the cup holder is different from the pop out US one.

the steering wheel is on the wrong side. Other than that it looks good. Where is the rusty rusted wheel / caliper you speak of?

Wheel and caliper look good, just a bit of brake dust is all. Car looks nice.

Plus, being aluminum, not possible. The hardware could rust, but looks good.

Everything looks good to me; what's the little hump thing center on the dash?

Okay thanks guys, only thing I noticed since I posted was what looks like a small leak from the valve cover:
