Help me make the jump
How’s it going guys. First post here. I’ve been shopping for a new (used) car for the last month. My first car being a BMW which I loved and had for over 5 yrs.
I ended up not really seeing anything trust worthy for those, so I decided to look at a Benz I had found online. It’s a 2013 C300 Sport. 61K. 2 Owners. One “accident” reported in 2013 with 10k. I didn’t see any body damage at all on the vehicle. For $13,000. 28 recorded maintenances on the vehicle. Last one being last month. By the dealer it’s self. I asked about the 60K service being done. The salesmen’s and finance wasn’t sure and said they’ll get back to me. They understood it would really be displeasing if that wasn’t done prior to me buying the vehicle next week. From what I’ve researched is, that this is a pretty pricy service job. It would be an inconvenience to have to possibly pay $1,400 (Nyc) for the job. After I put some time
into her. I wouldn’t mind keeping up with the maintenance necessary.
Do do you guys recommend this car build? Is this year particularly reliable. As a past BMW owner, I understand the cost of yearly maintenance of what these cars would
be.
TLDR- Looking at 2013 C300 Sport with 61K at $13k. 2 Owners, 1 “accident”, 28 maintenance recorded. Reliable? Issue prone?
Buy Or run?
Any and all feedback would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I might’ve posted in the wrong section lol. If so, mod can delete.

Wow I almost said holy crap where did you find a c63 like that so cheap lol.
(Wrong section)
Anyways 2012 with m272 engine is most reliable, this has the DI engine that makes more HP/gets more mpg but has secondary fuel pump issues sometimes (needs replacement)
Otherwise the w204's are mostly reliable all-round
