W203 C-Class

Hello, im a new member looking to gather information on W203 C-Class that im looking to buy.

My budget will only allow me to get 2000/2001 models. Ive always had BMW/VW and im totally new to Mercedes.

When buying these cars, what things are there to look out for? Im looking at a C180/C200. Whats the difference between classic, elegance and avantgarde?

Is there a buying guide for them and what extras are worth looking out for?

thanks
