C200 Kompressor W204
Smile Newbie here

hi guys,

Just bought a used C200 Kompressor W204. The car drives great.
It just something that bother me:

1.the car tend to pull the to the left, and I need to put my hand on the steering all times to drive it in a straight line.

2. The rear centre armrest is broken, the top part (where we put our arm), no longer attached to the lower part (with cupholders). Is it possible to get the that rear centre armrest to be replaced?

3. The front centre armrest has got scratches (the rubber part and compartment that we can slide to close or open) and they hurt my eyes whenever I see, can I get it replaced as well?

4. Left compartment seems to be opening too wide, suspected that it is not working as it should, possible to get it replaced?

Those are the problems, other than that, it is a great car.
Hope to get response from you guys, much appreciated.

Hello welcome and congratulations on your new car. Did you buy the car with warranty on it ?

I can't help a lot on the problems as I have a W211 but congratulations on the car, once you get these small items taken care of you'll really enjoy it. I'm looking forward to pictures.

Thanks Bosnia1992 and ProjectCamaro for the warm welcome!

Even with these slight problems I still enjoy the car, hopefully after all of these are sorted I can enjoy the car more.

Bosnia1992, yes the trader do provide a warranty, it only covers engine and gearbox, and I think most used car trader in the UK only provide that kind of warranty.

Btw I have attached the picture of the problematic armrest. Seems like the latch is broken, is it possible to replace the armrest?

Regarding the balancing problem, I think it is not that expensive to get it fix, probably will get it fix this weekend. Or maybe I should check the tyre pressure first?

And three other exterior photos. The morning shots are quite dirty since I took the pictures after I drove it home from London which is about 150miles on wet and salty roads (winter is near), haven't clean it yet.
I have to say I like the design, especially the welcome light when I unlock the car.

Get your alignment and all of those standard wheel checks done. They may be able to fix the issue from that. Sounds like it might be a simple adjustment.

Thanks finger360. Will do

But regarding the rear armrest, do you have any suggestion?
