2011 C300 Sport
Picked up my 2011 C300 Sport today.

I came from a Lotus Elise. I had that car for 7 years but with a family, it became really impractical. My wife has an SUV and the Lotus was rarely used. Anyways, I found a buyer for the Lotus and by chance found this C300 in the same week. I sold the Lotus today and then picked up the C300 today also. I must admit I know very little about the C300 but have really liked it for a long time. I live in Orange County, Ca so I get to see these around all the time.

For now, I don't have any pics to upload but here is the ad. Even when I went to a benz dealer and told them I told them about this C300, they said it was a great deal. I was able to get it for 28.7 with a full tank of gas. Anyone know how good of a deal I got?

I noticed that the drivers window does not automatically go up and down but the other 3 windows do. Is this right? I would think this needs to get corrected.

A fix for that is to hold up all 4 window buttons for 30 seconds. You can do it pretty easily. I get that issue every now and then too. I don't know what causes it :/

Hi, I tried this and the driver side window can now go down automatically but not up. Any idea?

Hmm, if that's the case then the motor that pulls the window up might be broken. I would take that to the dealership and see what's up with it.
