Should I buy a used 2013 C250 with 70000 miles
Hello all,
I am planning to buy a 2013 C250 coupe which has 70000 miles on it. I have personally seen the car, and it looks and runs great.
Buying it from a authorized MB dealership which are offering me a 4000Mi Warranty. I can see in the carfax that at 60k miles the car was gone thru quiet extensive maintenance like battery replaced, brake padsreplaced, spark plugs replaced etc.
I am getting pretty good deal on this car, however I am skeptical because of all the maintenance charges I have heard about. This is my first MB, & honestly being a rookie I am buying this just because it is a "Mercedes" and it falls in my budget.
However most of the people say that a used mercedes with such high miles gives a lot of maintenance which is expensive, and difficult for me to afford. The regular maintenance is OKAY, but how reliable are these cars at high miles, are there a lot of repairs that we have to do often ?
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

You should be able to find one with far less miles.
Tell them what you want as far as miles and they’ll find you one (within reason). 2013’s are readily available with 45,000 miles. Sure, you could find one with 6,000 if you spend enough time looking, but shoot for 35-45k to keep it simple.
Other than that, go for it.

Maintenance will be more than a ford or Honda. These are relatively reliable , but if something does break - the bill can easily run over $1000 ... so if you are on a tight budget and looking for something reliable that won’t break the bank - it is maybe not for you. Having said that , regular maintenance is quite easy - and an independent shop would save You money over the dealer ...
