very good.
120k km is around 72k miles i think. i'm around 46k and car is running well. i just have this annoying flat spot on my front passenger tire making it bumpy to drive around 90mph.

66,000kms on the 2001 C240. One MAF failure last winter, covered just before warranty ran out..
And an annoying alignment issue that was never quite fixed. The car drifts to the right a bit and the steering wheel is not centered.

Pokerface, what is MAF?
I have same alignment issue, and quite a few electrical / electronic glitches:
Losing seat / mirror memory on the key (take 3 visits to finally fix it).
Sunroof needs constant resynchronizing (fixed in 2nd time).
SAM module failed and car was stranded (fixed).
Park brake cable slug (not quite fixed).
Lucky I opted the extended warranty.

Hi
Hey QQQ
How are you doing? Did You remember we have our first C class Toronto met back in 2001. I returned my car and get a 04 C320 manual last year. Hope we can have another metting soon.

qqq / w203 in GTA
We'll post a thread about a GTA meet when another one comes up. Most of the info is usually posted up on MBCanada.com
QQQ, MAF - mass air flow sensor. (I think some people call it MAS).
As far as electrical, I only had key problems, which were fixed in the second year of ownership.. I'm on my 4th and 5th keys now.

W203GTA, nice to hear you got a new car. Did you buy from MB Thornhill?
Pokerface, what is MAF for?
My car is on extended warranty till mid-2006 (thx god, my car had probably 20 visits since delivery and so it paid off).
Car just in today for B service. Will check for slow pick-up, possible refrigerant leaks and park brake cable slug. Also replace brake fluid (2nd time).

Hit 80K kms this morning, buh bye warranty!
Mine has been good, a few issues, some I would've never fixed or fixed myself if not under warranty:
- faulty fuel pump, engine would stall when AC cranked
- noisy suspension, endlinks upgraded (upgrading sway bars caused this, still fixed under warranty, great service manager)
- hood liner shrunk and detached, new and improved version installed (didn't need fixing, just I have started to show my car and I wanted it to look perfect)
- door actuator acted up, wouldn't lock
- pulley cover on order, seems like many early 2003s were missing this piece (same as hood lining, being picky)
