Thinking about getting a 2008 C300
Thinking about pulling the trigger on a 2008 C300 manual trans with 90k on the clock. I've never owned a Benz and was wondering if anyone could share what I should look out for with this vehicle.
Thanks

Pretty much bulletproof, only small things here and there that you can fix yourself over time.
Just check the usual things

Yeah, ESL/EIS is a slight worry so check that, but aside from that just double check all recalls have been done such as wiring for camshaft adjuster magnets etc. Since it's a manual trans I'd scoop that up in a heart beat especially with the prices now on these and for that year that's not bad mileage at all. M272 is a reliable engine so as normal see and get maint. records, if it doesn't ahve that work them down on price if all looks good.
I will say get a PPI done though, may cost a smidge but can save headaches.
