NEW TO SITE! had a couple questions!

hey Everyone,
I'm New to Mercedes and im happy so far. I got a 03 Mercedes c320 a couple days ago the only thing wrong with it was that on the interior door panels, the grip where you pull the door shut is broken on both sides. does anyone know where to get this. Iv LOOKED everywhere!

Also i have always bought Demestic cars so.....how are these cars?
any big problems i should know about it only has 55,000 miles and seems ok so far.
thanks a lot every one
David

Well, congratulations on the new ride -- and as you will hear soon, I'm sure -- show us some pictures!

Door pull handles I can't help you with, but I know it is not an uncommon problem on the pre-facelift cars at least.

If it hasn't been done, you need to get the transmission fluid changed at that mileage. Also, definitely run it by a dealer (although they may not be the best bet for your services, depending...). They can check and make sure any open recall type items are taken care of.

Let everyone know where you are from, you can probably get some feedback on dealerships and independent shops in your area.

Im from Oregon Im hoping there is a Mercedes dealership in Tri-cities Washington. the Town i live in is small and dont have crap. cool well I'll get that tranny fluid changed. is it pretty easy to do your self.
sorry you will have to excuse me i have a Chrysler 300 srt8 and usually stick to american muscle cars so im trying to figure all this import stuff so far.

You know i never could figure out why mercedes were so expensive this car is a 03 my srt8 is a 08 and the 03 has more stuff and better quality then my srt8 crazy huh...
