2nd owner vehicle purchased 07/22/2014 with 47,301 on the clock. Never used in snow/salt. Never in an accident.
Currently has approximately 80,000 miles, used just for local weekend driving.
Front seats have had sheepskin covers since the vehicle was purchased. Both front and back seats are showroom perfect. No wear, discoloration, cracking or creasing on any of the seats.
Has some minor issues, but engine runs super smooth and responsive, and is a fun car to drive.

Happy to be here - OK so it's not an exciting purchase to some, but I love the fact I am now a Mercedes driver - despite it being a white van (Vito 2020!). I am Marcus from Durham in the North East of England. Professional singer and, now, a Mercedes Benz driver
It’s a van… More importantly, it’s a Mercedes

She's twenty five and I'm not willing to let her go
Greetings Oh Wise and Noble Counselors,
I'm 75 and my 1999 CLK 430 is 25. She needs a suction hose...this part number..113-230-13-56-MBZ SUCTION LINE I guess you could say, "That really sucks!" (sorry)
She is the first and only good car I have ever owned and I have been nursing her along, hoping that I die before she does. She needs help. Can't find this part. It's been discontinued. They say a junk yard is my only chance but i am not familiar with procedure on pursuing that avenue. Can anybody help?
Despairing in the mountains....

Im an old school forum lurker, having owned many euros (VW’s, Audi, BMW’s) and now Mercedes. I made a slightly tipsy bid on a W164 280CDI and woke up the next morning with a hangover and a new car!
I have much to learn as the dash is lit up like a Griswald’s Christmas tree 🎄
My drunk bid that was a winner!
I’m looking forward to learning lots and making other poor financial choices.

Hi Everyone, Im Youhan from Sydney Australia.
I own a 2018 W205 C63s Estate and a 2001 W210 E320 Avantgarde just clicked 100000 klms and looking to explore and learn more about these cars. Especially maintaining the W210 as it ages gracefully
Always been a Mercedes fan ever since I was younger in my teenage years dreaming about owning an AMG so I for filled my dreams when I bought the C63s Estate.
I have been lurking around unofficially when I get stuck, mostly was through google searches but I finally decided to join the forum.
Thanks for all your input

Hey all! Happy to introduce myself. Bought a 2023 GLB 35 AMG (X247) and am enjoying my first Mercedes so far. I'm in Canada. I wanted something I could fit kids and two dogs into that was fun to drive. Am already looking at an RennTech ECU and exhaust for the X247. 302 ponies is great but if they'd had a GLB 45 I would have bought that...
Previous cars include Mk 7.5 2018 VW Golf R, 2003 Toyota Celica GTS, Frankenstein 1991 Honda Accord 2-door with 1996 JDM H22A and manual transmission swap with brakes from a 2003 Acura 3.2 CL, lowered 2007 Yaris with a few bolt-ons (more fun than you'd think). Had a few motorcycles too. I enjoy light wrenching on my own vehicles, but with this one I think I'll leave it to the local shops. Will be taking this opportunity to let the Golf R turn into a DAZA 2.5L 5-Cyl swap project. Benz will be the daily.
Looking forward to chatting with you folks.

Thoughts?
2011 c250 4matic m272 2.5L 270,000km
Little bit of a rough ride/idle from engine but thinking on doing some performance mods. Not too sure about anything though.
let me know your thoughts!

Hi guys, Daniel here from The Netherlands, working on my W221 S500 2006. If anybody in The Netherlands needs help regarding Mercedes Benz or BMW, don't hesitate to reach out! Looking forward to share the knowledge and experience.

W203 220 CDI 2005 Saloon
Hello! Peter from Poland.
I deal with mechanical modifications and adding equipment to the W203 model.
I am also running a project of the fastest 220 CDI, which after many modifications has achieved 233 HP 560 Nm on full ecology with a Catalytic Converter and EGR.
Preparations are underway to cross the barrier of 300 HP 650 Nm.
I hope to meet similar enthusiasts here, who will be an inspiration to me and maybe I will also inspire someone to have fun with these wonderful cars Regards

Hi from New Jersey
Hi everyone,
I recently leased a brand new 2024 GLC 4Matic SUV for three years, with the intention of buying it and keeping it for another 4-5 years if all goes well.
I haven't owned a car in over 15 years. My last car was a well-worn Honda Civic with over 150K miles that I drove in college. Since then, I moved to NYC, got married, had a child last year, and relocated to NJ last month.
I'm excited to learn more about this car and how to keep it in top condition.

Hi! I am Sillywren, I have a 2007 E350. I love her. I bought her with part of the proceeds from my mothers estate after many years of single parent POS's. I have recently been dx with a long term vision issue that will result in not being able to drive in about 10 years. I intend for this to be the last car I buy. Not including the toys, of course.

Thank you. She is. sorta. My wiring is a hot mess. every wire I have seen is bare. I have replaced the front SAM, the headlight assemblies, the rear wheeel speed sensors and the starter. next in line will be the front wiring harness and the rear SAM.
