Hello,

Im new here, Like to say hello to everyone.

I just sold my BMW and looking for a MB,. Looking at the c230,4dr 6-speed, 46kmiles. But iv been trying to find info about how reliable, they are and all i have found is bad bad news. I do like it, dove it and liked how it drove. BUT like i said i have found bad news of bad experiences. So what more but to ask people that have or know about MB.

I only know about BMW lol. If anyone can plz give me any info that would be great. I would like to know if people have had good or bad experience. plz let me know, since i might go buy the car today. But only thing holding me back is all the bad news.
Any help would be great.

It might help to know that you're in the wrong section and you'll probably get more replies in the W203 section.
Anyway, I had an 05 C230 for a little over 2 years and I put about 67k miles on it and I never encountered a single issue. I've had much more issues with my 08.

Im located in IL, and here we have a lemon act that was set up a not to long ago. there have man many lemon lawsuits againts MB(hear in IL, that i have found out). Lemon act was created to protect customers. Even with alot of lemon lawsuits, MB always wins most of them. I have heard key problem, waterpump, not ideling right, electical problem and to many more. The people that do the lawsuits end up taking there car 3-7times back to MB for the same problem.

Im planing to go to canada, over 10hr drive. and im planing on doing this right after i get the MB, thats if i get it. but i don't want to get it if its not going to make over a 10hr drive?
