2004 E55 AMG and 2003 C320 4Matic Miss my 993 Turbo above!!
Opinions Please

I am pulling the trigger on a 2003 C320 with 86,000 miles with heated seats, CD exchanger and rear window shades for 13,750. It comes with 2 years and 100,000 warranty.

Is this a good deal. Anything I should worry about. All receipts have been reviewed. Yes, the complete front axle and boots have been replaced.

Thanks

Roland

I'd say go for it. I bought my 2002 C320 in 2006 with that same amount of mileage for 13,300. It has most of the options available in the U.S., like the ones you mentioned above, except nav. I haven't had any problems.

Post Sounds good...

That sounds like a good deal. How many previous owners?

P.S. Maybe you should change the title to this thread.
Perhaps something like: "Need your Opinion on this '03 C320 for Sale"

You might attract more people, in turn getting more replies.



P.S. again: That's good that it comes with a warranty. I want a warranty for my car. Maybe I should just keep like $3,000 in a Savings Acct, and use for repairs... I'm afraid of getting burned by aftermarket warranty's.

Is this a Certified Pre Owned. Did you check car fax for # of owners. If you're buying from the CPO dealership, they should be able to pull up the service history on the vehicle. 100K warranty....so if you have 86K already, then you only got 14K to go?
