c320
Hello, I just bought a C class 320 Avantgarde year 2001 without service history... a week ago.
It has 136000 km (84750 miles +/-).
Even though the previous owner told me about recent oil service, aircon compressor, fan belt, alternator and battery replacement, I would like my mechanic to have everything ch.ecked
The only issue I have felt is unusual power steering resistance.
I have been told about Mercedes power steering is very smooth and u can turn it with a finger!
Needs front bearing replacement.


The rest is ok, aircon works, gearbox had been flushed and shifts smoothly.
Anything I should check?
Let me know what you think!

Hello, I joined this forum years back when I was considering a C-class Mercedes sedan. Now I am researching E-class wagons. Nice looking rides here.

Few months ago, me and my partner brought 2nd hand C & E class estates. Slightly older cars, 2009 & 2011 but they were in mint condition with full MB service history and low milage. Absolutely love the drive on both of them. You won’t regret 🤩

Alloys on the E look terrible but the pic was taken before the dealer refurbished them.

2010 E250 DIESEL 2010 c63 and 2004 Slk350
Glad to be a new member on here From New Zealand

Hi guys these are my latest 3 Mercedes a r1712005 Slk350 that I’ve driven for 50000 km a w204 2010 c63 that I’ve driven for 25000km and a w212 2010 E250 DIESEL that I’ve only driven for 2000km so far I do enjoy the way that a Mercedes drives but the quality of engineering design on these cars leaves a lot to be desired the problems that I’ve had to fix so far from the steering lock that failed to the brake and power steering pump to the leaking oil cooler and water pump that colapsed with only 50000km on the clock makes my other area Lexus is250 seem like the cheapest to run most reliable car on the planet but it lacks the character of my benzes and the rewards gained by pushing them hard down the road and around corners here in New Zealand but from time to time I’m sure I will have a few questions about maintaince of my questionable designed Mercedes fleet.
Love sliding around those dirt rds

His favourite food 100 octane


E250 diesel cheap to run

Facelift s212, I've had it for two weeks and it's a dream. Now I'm trying to hunt down a rear cargo liner but that's proving difficult. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

It's beautiful, so thankful Mercedes makes these. I personally refuse to drive an SUV or crossover AND I need a 3rd row wagon so MB wagons are basically it. I am currently on the hunt for an S211.

GLC 63 AMG
Newbie

My wife bought a 2018 C63 about 2 months ago. After driving it and feeling the power but at the same time feeling the control you feel while driving. I knew it was time to get rid of my charger Hellcat.
I started researching and the GLC 63 really checked all the boxes. So I started looking and found one about a month ago! We are a Mercedes family now!!

Mercedes Benz AMG GLC 63s
G’Day one and all, of course new members here so I wanted greet everyone👍😎

Like many people, I’ve had quite a few cars yet not obscenely or unrealistically so. Perhaps one of my greatest weaknesses is a penchant for Coupé in all their guises…

In no specific order: Nissan GTR, Alfa Brera Italia Independent 3.2 Q4, BMW X6M, Alfa Sud-ti heavily modified and built, Porsche 928 supercharged etc etc.

Currently own a 2018 GLC63s, which was upgraded from a GLA A45 AMG and what fun hilarious car that was.

Hope to see any and many of you on here from time to time, not just when I have any questions, queries or issues but just to blurb the blank spaces with whatever happens to be the topic at hand.

Bloom.

AMG C63s
Picked up a 2018 AMG C63s. Mods have already started just installed 305/30/20 on the rear to get more traction and updating the Head unit. Love the Matte finish. My advice with this paint Dr Beasley's Product omg massive difference. Been a few years since being in a fast car last one was over ten years ago 2008 Audi S3.

This was the previous car to the current GLC 63s. Loved this car alot but I have to be honest and say it was not worth the money compared to what the newer GLA A45s AMG is, that little hell hound is a monster for the size.


2014 GLA A45 AMG

Thanks! Finding more and more about it as I just started researching why it's so unusual. It was ordered from the factory as a demo by a Bay area dealer so they really switched up the specs. Very unique.
