Should I buy this C320?

I'm looking at a black 2003 C320 sedan with only 77,000 miles (123000 kms) on it. It appears to be in mint condition with good tires and brakes, no dings or dents anywhere. Everything works and it passed an independent mechanical inspection. The price is $8888. Should I buy it?

Hey, my opinion is no.

You can get the facelifted models from 2005-2007 for a little bit more and you dont have to worry about transmission fluid mixing with the coolant (faulty radiator) or poorly designed stepper motors in your AC system (massive operation to fix)

I am not local or dont know the best websites to find cars over there but little digging found these cars with AMG body kits, 200bhp etc

http://wwwa.autotrader.ca/a/Mercedes...O&orup=7_15_31 I would buy that instantly if these existed in europe with that bargain price tag

Yea, for the price go facelift and never look back. Another $1,000 will get you a nice 2005 model with some nice options. Have any pictures of this 2003?
