Should I buy this 2013 C300 4MATIC Sport?
Hi all,
After having looked at a number of C-classes for sale, I think this one is a good one. I'm going to take a look at it over the weekend. What should I watch out for?
I do notice that some of the buttons are worn or have paint bubbling. I plan to replace those if I buy this car. Also, looking at the Carfax, I notice that the brakes have not been replaced so the car will probably need new brakes soon. I'm also aware that some of these cars can have knocking sounds coming from the engine area, so I will check for that.
But other than that, are there any big concerns that anyone sees? Thanks in advance!

The wood panel of the dashboard underneath the radio unit appears to be broken.
One picture shows a seat adjustment button which also seems to be broken.
Apparently the car didn’t get much love so far.

I am more of buy the best one you can not one which needs fixing up
The brakes are rusty that might be from nil use but to be sure having a under car inspection would be advisable, looking at driveshafts and rear chassi for corrosion and oil leaks would be a first start and have it done at a Mercedes dealer or shop who works on this type of car.

Thank you all! I ended up with this one instead.

It cost a bit more but the condition was so much nicer.

Are you the one who bought the car? The nice thing is with that engine, an ECU tune will get you a nice bump in power for a N/A engine.
