Hey Guys,

Didn't post too much over the past 1.5 yrs during ownership of my 2012 C250 Coupe. She been a great car that never gave me any troubles, outside of a couple issues covered by the factory warranty. I put 17k miles on her and now it's time to move on. Just picked up a SL550 today (used) so kind-of changed direction. Ridiculously maintained (cut all required maintenance service schedules by at least 1/2), she will the next owner very happy. Good luck and safe travels to all; I'll be heading over to the R230 forum.

Star4Life,

The following were repaired/replaced while under warranty:
-Entire steering wheel assembly (trim was peeling off)
-All lug nuts and center caps replaced due to corrosion
-Center console replaced due to spring-loaded, cup holder retainer damage
-Outside A pillar trim piece replaced
-Driver's seat forward sliding lever replaced (trim peeling)
-Front strut assemblies were replaced; there was a noise coming from the passenger side corner panel which was still there after completing this job. It was revealed later that a plastic wheel well piece had come loose. Nothing like getting new front suspension for free!

This was all completed during my ownership period (over the past 17 months). She's basically brand new.

Well, if you're going to cheat on your C250, go all the way! Nice upgrade.

Thanks, three days and it's been a blast. I admit that the C250's interior was nicer (especially with the single COMMAND control dial) but with almost 400HP and looks that won't quit, I feel like I cheat on my wife every time I take her out.

Just a quick note: I stopped by the dealer today for some paperwork copies and saw my 250 on the lot. They're asking $16,500.00 for her which I think is a decent price.

So how much did they give you for it?

14.7k

That's pretty reasonable mark-up for a used car dealer.
