Hello, I bought a silver 2000 c230 kompressor about 5 months ago. I've put about 15,000 miles on it since then and have not had any major problems. I'm getting at 100,000 miles and just had a few questions:

How reliable is the 2000 c230 from here on out with regular maintenence and what problems can I most likely expect? (just in general)

I have a huge rust hole on the back trunk next to the keyhole, is there a place to replace the back trunk lid? (painted silver already?)

I notice a lot of the led's on the dash have gone out. For example, the temperature reads 69 degrees but is missing the bottom of the 6, how do I fix this?

My key no longer locks/unlocks the doors, is a battery in the key dead? How do I fix this?

And lastly, do you know where can I get some nice 17" rims that will fit the style of this car for under $1000? Are the "sport package" rims sold anywhere?


Your help would be appreciated! Thanks, Karl.

Your car is a W202 and this is the W204 forum (for the 2008 C Class). You should go to the 202 forum. They can help you there.

Use magic marker or keep the temps in the 70's .

The problem is the logic board. It may be cheaper for you to have it fixed by someone who specializes in electronics as opposed to the dealer.
