2013 C200 CDi AMG
Soon to be owner, Opinions please

Hi everyone

Been on here a while now but this is my first real post.

I want to buy a W204 in the next week or so and I have my eyes on a 2013 C200 CDI with the AMG kit. A few photos, the service history and equipment list is attached.

I want know if there is any reason not to buy this year model or engine, and just general stuff to look out for. Any real reason to pick a C250 over a C200?

This will be my first real car, been on a bike most my life.

Car is on 45k kms (28k miles) no plan extensions but it might be something I will look at.

Commute is short so my yearly distance will be around 8k kms (5k miles)







Price will be around R330k (US$21200)

So what do you guys think?

I will tell you get it. C-Class w204 is one of the greatest cars in term of handling,feel behind the wheel and reliability. I have 2008 C300 and never regret buying it. every time I drive it I feel good about it. I'm a car salesman and drive new cars everyday but nothing compares to Mercedes C class w204 except a BMW 5 series or 3 series

It's a good solid car. Drive it and make sure you are happy with performance.
