Hello MBWorld, new member here!!

Hello everyone! My name is Heidi, and I'm from Quebec, Canada. I recently acquired a 2004 Mercedes C230 kompressor. I have never owned a Mercedes before in my life, and have very little knowledge of these cars. It's somewhat of a fixer upper, so I will be needing help from all you 'experts'! It's a long story, but basically a friend of mine who was helping me though tough times, purchased it for himself, but has now 'loaned' it to me for long term use. It runs, but many things are wrong with it...she ain't pretty lol!

If it runs that's half the battle. Change the oil, air and fuel filter first. Then just work your way through it. I've been at preventive maintenance since I bought my 2000 sl 500 6 months ago and its running much better. I still keep finding neglected items but I try and replace them as soon as I find them. Go to U-tube for repair info.

2022 GLC 300 4matic
Thumbs up First MB

Greetings from West Coast Canada. My name is Nick.

After 27 years of driving various BMW’s starting with a 320i, 323i,330i,335iS (all manual) then a 525iT and lastly x5 3.5 I bought a new 2022 GLC 300 4matic.

Trying to decide on prepaid Mercedes maintenance plan, Dealer maintenance or 3rd party service.

any advice or experiences are appreciated.

Thanks

Hello, my name is Mike and I'm from CT. I've been lurking on the forums for the past 3 years (when we leased our first two MBs) but I finally decided to sign up! We actually didn't intend to keep our current cars and expected a upgrade when our leases came due but given our ultra-low residuals for both our cars (leased in 2019), we just decided to buy out the leases and keep them for now. All-in-all, I've been pretty happy with our ownership experience and look forward to learning from the forum!

Hello all, my name is Adam. I am fairly new to the MB world and am still learning so please bare with me, there are things I simply to not know or have not experienced yet. Currently working on a '08 C300. And as many of you know that the '08 C300 is on that list of 'Probably Could Have Done Without This' that Mercedes has. I have been using this webpage as a reference for about 6 months, and well, I figure I join and see what help I may be able to wrangle up. I'll post a pic shortly, thanks for the awesomeness this page tends to be.

Adam

Hi everyone, I'm a lucky owner of this amazing car, which entertain me literally every trip. Fall in love with MB twenty years ago and cannot swap it to another brand.
The torque, the sound of hot exhaust is incredible. Pleasure to maintain – Germans done good job for us.

Ownership cost: high, as expected. It just swallows the fuel, like having a hole in the tank. But, who cares!? 8)))


my beast.

Rob +1, we're a military family currently stationed in Texas. With spouse working at home since the pandemic we've been a one car family. Currently driving a rental since writing off our 2015 GLK350 in an accident. We chose the EQS over my long-time dream car the Porsche Taycan for the incredible ride quality, plushness and road-trip ability. Our 2023 EQS580 sedan should be delivered soon.

Hello!

Hi everyone! I’m Sam from Philadelphia. I’ve owned 8 Mercedes before taking a break from the brand and went to Volvo. I like Volvo but missed Mercedes. A few weeks ago I bought a 2014 W166. I love it. It’s in impeccable condition and was well maintained. It’s in the shop now having items I want addresses for piece of mind. I know Mercedes gets ripped for quality and reliability but there is something about these machines that just make you smile.

Here is a picture from when I first saw her at the dealership.

Hello everyone

Hope y'all are having a fantastic week so far! I recently purchased a 2014 C-Class (my first car) after a long internal back and forth and lots of research. During the latter, this forum came in handy several times—even saved from making silly mistakes, so I figured it would be nice to join the family, discuss with people as passionate about the brand as I am, and receive support throughout the (ownership) journey that lies ahead of me.

Here is to many fruitful discussions and friendships 🥂

Thank you!

PS: Wouldn't be an introduction if I didn't at least include a sneak of my car, so here is a picture below. Enjoy!

Hey Arkadiusz

Nice find there; this model is one of my all-time MB favorites. Why Houston though? I don't even want to imagine the import fees and the customs process!

Talking I'm New _ Hello to all

Hello everyone! My name is Terrence. I live in Clarksville Tennessee. I drive a 2005 Mercedes Benz C240 4Matic Wagon with 150,000 miles on it. This is a car that I have come to love. I would like to rebuild it to showroom caliber or more. She has become a family member and now I have found a social Mercedes Benz family. This is win-win. Can't wait to ask question and hopefully answer them as well, yet most of all I would like to get to know everyone on here and create a social world relationship. Peace everyone until later.
