Buying used C350

Hello all, I'm looking at buying a 2009 or 2010 C350. From those of you that have had the car for a couple of years how do you find it's holding up? I mean is the engine as smooth as when you first got it? Is the cabin as quiet and the ride as smooth. Reliability... any big issues?

The car I'm looking at has about 40,000 km, so I want to get an idea of what I can expect with a used benz. Thanks.

For what its worth, I picked up an '09 C350 and I don't think I will ever drive anything other than a MB again. Its THAT good. I've owned nissan's, bimmers, and driven numerous other vehicles. This is a solid car. Plus I have been lucky in dealing with a good dealership/service dept. Car has had zero issues in the four months I've owned it. I bought it with 25K miles and have put about 3k on it so far.

If you're comparing it to a nissan, the MB must be heavenly. My experience with nissan is that they have numerous electrical/engine issues. My 08' C300 has been solid so far.

bought my c350 with 33k. It now has 53k and it still feels like brand new. I had a TPMS fail after a tire change that was replaced under warranty.
The interior, exterior and performance are all perfect.

ha! I know, I know, I really meant to compare it to the bmw and other higher end vehicles I have owned or used. I have been really lucky with my Nissan though, no issues at all. Only thing is, now when I go food shopping or running errands in it, it feels like a lawn mower compared to my C! Lovin my 350 though, the drive and handling is much more suited to my taste over the 3 series bmw's.

If you are buying a car with Nav, get a 2010 the ipod integration is much better in the 2010+ models.
