Since the OP might have been looking for a 210 Wagon I will point out that my 211 looks to be a high maintenance car. I bought it with 80k on it from someone who took it to the dealer all the time (service records were 40 pages) It now has 150 k and I have bought the Arnotts, bought a chassis Module, bought the ignition module and need the Cats and Motor mounts replaced. I have had a couple of 190s plus a 300SD ( which I really liked but it had an oil leak at the Turbo plus I was adding oil) Flip side our 210 Sedan is bullet proof and at the same miles I have done nothing other than regular maintenance.
my SD averaged 24 mpg (at 70+) while the 211 hovers around 23. I love a Wagon but owned 4 Ford Explorers and 1 Edge as business vehicles and rarely saw more than 18 mpg.
It took 6 months of searching online and networking to find my car.Along the way 2 of them were bought from under me. I was looking for a 210 but a low mileage one never showed up. I think the 210s have simpler systems and my 211 is loaded with every option other than SAT radio.

C320
Any Mercedes past 150k miles is a high maintainance car, that's why they're so damn cheap. Either learn to DIY or pay up for a Camry.

I actually bought the car with 82k on it. I drive about 20,000 -25000 a year. My 300sd I bought with 67k on it and got rid of it with a tad less than 270k.
Any car I buy will be a high mileage car at some point.
