Question Issues to look for when buying used?

Anyone have any suggestions on things to look for when buying a used W205 C-Class? I'm particularly looking at a 2015.

Any issues you've experienced?

Thanks,

Well.... some would say

When shopping for a recent model pre-owned MB - two things:

1) With the wide range of individual options and option packages - be smart when it comes to finding out what a particular C-Class "has" and "does not have". Getting the equipment/features that you value most is the key determinent of how well you will enjoy your Mercedes.

2) I think "most" forum members would agree there is a legitimate value in shopping Mercedes Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) - if for no other reason that for your 2015 it will give you additional 1yr warranty on top of the original 4yr/50K mile New Car Warranty - and also removes the mileage "cap" depending on how a dealer interprets that.

Early builds had significant problems, including engine rebuilds under a recall. Those cars can still be sold as CPO. Otherwise CPO is really the only way to buy a used Benz and not get murdered. Add the 2 year extension as well. I try to keep the car under warranty at least as long as the financing runs.
