2006 C230 Sport Sedan
Used 2006 C 230 SS on dealer lots

I will soon be looking for a used C230 Sport Sedan. It will be my daily driver (will be keeping the vette for fun weekends). I've seen a large number of 2006 C230 SS on local dealer lots. I'm assuming these are courtesy/loaner cars that the dealer use. Most have 15K-22K miles with an asking price in the high $20's.

What do you all think about getting one of these? I suspect the maintenance was properly done, but they may have had some tough miles. Anyone had experience in this area?

Amen, if you look online you can find videos on youtube where people take loaner cars out for some crazy joyrides. It's like buying a car at a dealership that was previously a rental car.

Same questions are being asked. Perhaps these threads should be merged together.
