My problems with my 2011 C300
In 2013 I bought a 2011 C300 with 22000 miles from CarMax. After I drove 5000 miles sunroof stopped working, dealer replaced it with company warranty. After I drove 33000 miles (2 months after expiration of warranty)
alternator gone, dealer replaced it for $1300. It is common to see a bad alternator at 33000 miles? I bought this car thinking that it will run 100000 miles without any issues. I still driving my Honda accord at 160000. I wrote to MBUSA and CarMax without much success. I am really disappointed with the quality of C 300 Mercedes cars . I am nervous to drive this car.

You always take a risk when you buy a used car, as you never know how well (or not well) the previous owner(s) cared for it.
That said, a German car will likely not be as reliable as a Toyota or Honda.
