After a lot of seaching, I found a black on black E550 coupe with 27K miles on it, got it for $34K (US) which I thought was a good deal. Shop inspected it and pronounced it perfect, no accidents on the report, spent its whole life in south Florida.
So far I've put an SLS-style grill on it (i.e. single-fin), and ordered a UCI usb cable, and a PCMCIA adapter so I can use SD cards.
Taking it on a road trip this month, I do stand-up comedy and I'm going to do shows in Tennessee and North Carolina. Figured it was the perfect car to soak up the miles on long trips (well, except for the gas mileage, lol).
The car looks great I thought I got a steal with my benz purchased it with 34,000 miles on it for 27,000.00.

Hi everyone, my name is Jonathan and I just purchased my first MB, a 2011 C300 Sport 4matic. I'm excited to have it and I'm looking to buy some new wheels for it. Any suggestions on rims and winter tires is much appreciated.
My new (to me) and first Mercedes! C300 Sport 4matic.
Hello, everyone! After my last car was totaled out last week the stars aligned correctly and I got an amazing deal on a 2000 e320 with on 83k on the clock. This is my first Mercedes and the wife and I are already hooked! The car is amazing and so incredibly comfortable, not sure I can go back to anything else now!
I am glad to have found this forum as I enjoy learning and doing some of the maintenance myself. I am interested in learning about wheels as that is the one thing I'd like to change. I am not super keen on the chrome discs on the car presently. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Not looking for flash or to put it on "dubs", clean and classy is the name of the game!
I am a proud owner of a 2008 CLK 220 CDI. I am planning to do some performance/cosmetic improvements for which I thought I can pick up some ideas in this resourceful forum.
I am amazed by some great examples on this thread. You Guys are lucky owners
I just got my 2015 C300 4Matic sport yesterday. This is my first Mercedes. I still have my 2006 Audi A4 2.0T Quattro. Dealer wanted $1k for it as a trade-in so I kept it instead. I can't really compare yet as I haven't driven the C300 much but I hope to learn more about this car from all of you.

I'm trying to post in the W211 forum and the little posting rules box at the bottom says I "may not" post new threads...what do I have to do to be able to post new threads?
Hi Folks
I've done the handshake deal, and would appreciate a sanity check on what I beleive is a nice MY09 SLK200 in Australia. Would someone be kind enough to give me a VIN read/datacard, VIN is: WDB1714452F194323
My only confusion is with the date that the MY09 came into effect, this car has the new mirrors, new steering wheel, the 8K redline tacho, the steering feels fast lock to lock (parametric steering), AMG body kit, etc - however the build date of 05/08 I'm still not 100% certain...
The SLK is for my wife and I to share now that our teenage daughters (x3) can drive (x2). Other cars are regular cars, though there is a 550+hp replica AC Cobra in the garage - an angry, angry car, not really suited to driving to work every day.
Some photos in my album.
TIA to whoever takes the time to handle the VIN requests, I tried the Russian site and another but I must be entering extra digits or not have the right details..

My Coolant Visit Shop light went on.. We added Coolant. Light went off and after a week it's back on.
Temp on car keeps moving from 82 to 120. It does this off and on. I took it to a shop and they said it might be a electrical problem that has to do with my fan because my fan stays on they said even if I get a new fan it will not fix the problem! I called a electrical auto shop they said it doesn't sound electrical.. Help what should I do?!? I notice when I turn on my AC hot air comes out that's when my the temp goes from 82 to 120.
MB 390. Mod, 230CE. type,124C. Automatic; 1989. Resident in Norway and known in the family as "The Black Pearl" after the paint color description. Generally a good runner, but with some eccentricities, in use almost every day throughout the year, even at -25c. -13f.
Hi, I'm Drebel,
I have been lurking around for a couple of years decided to join last month. I made my first post today so I thought I would at least introduce my self.
I own a E350 W212 Lorinser with 39K miles in Miami. I will have to start looking for an extended warranty company soon so I guess this should be the best place to start

I recently bought 2014 benz C250 from auction. It seems like it was running and driving in an auction. But when we bought they brought the car outside with forklift. We didn't give right instruction to delivery man, so he picked up the car without checking it. So, now we are stuck with the car.
Car won't start at all. Initially we thought it might be because of the battery. But we fully recharged it. Still won't start. We took it to mercedes, they want more labor time which means more green for them which we thought that might be bad idea. I took it to different local European car mechanic shop. They diagnosed the car, yet nothing came as an issue. they also wanna do open ticket solution, which I don't really wanna follow that suggestion.
I decided to ask forum guests/pros/readers and etc. Please, help me to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.
New to the forum I have a 1993 300E 2.8 and a 1988 560SL wow what fun cars.
Had both about a year, 560 is a head turner even as rough as it is. 300E is getting slowly up to speed on maintenance. Just stuff that was neglected by and older owner. Fun stuff!!!
This a really good website and knowledge base.
I have used the information to diagnose and fix problems with my 08 S550.
In 2010 I had an 09 S550 with a complete Lorinser package and some Renntech mods.
Never one problem.
The 2008, it seems almost every month there is a glitch in the machinery some where.
But I love the car, 95k miles. I bought it with 75k on it.
After seeing the 14's I love my car even more!
Here are some pics.
