Hi guys, I have a 2018 white c43..stock with 103 000 kms. Well taken care of.. oil changes done every 6k...diff oil change done...tranny oil change..brake flush..k&n's. Car has
been problem free and love the car and all its quirks. Thing is I am moving to the Azores islands (retirement) and worried about longevity and potential costs and or any repairs or parts being on a island would def be an issue...how durable is the w205 powertrain????
Any high mileage members please chime in good or bad to help me decide about bringing my baby with me or not
. THX in advance
A picture attached
I have a 2019 c43 coupe at just about 101k km here in Canada and I am in the same boat wondering if I should sell or not. Never had any issues with the car except the cracked rims. I’ve replaced two rims already and had another one welded. The potholes alone are making me reconsider getting something like a gle63 or trx lol
Currently at 102,580 miles (15% city/85% highway)...purchased "used" at 42,000 miles (3rd owner). No major mechanical issues. OEM rims are sitting in the carport storage - daily use rims are aftermarket, with non-runflats. I would make sure you have a tech that can perform the transmission service (flush & filter replacement) on island. Keep the aggressive oil change interval too.

Thx sizzlecheeze...exactly what I was hoping to hear..102k miles not bad. Luckily I already did the transmission oil flush also the differential fluid was changed out.
