2018 C300
Greetings from Florida

Hello All,

I am the proud owner of a new to me 2018 C300 CPO with only 6200 miles. The car is in nearly perfect condition. I believe the previous owners were an elderly couple based on the SAT radio presets such as the 40's and Sinatra channels. The seat memory 1 was almost exactly perfect for me (6ft 2in) and number 2 was almost perfect for my wife (5ft 2in). The previous owner had averaged (based on the carfax report) just under 3000 per year for the first two years of their lease and it appears they barely drove it in 2020, probably because of Covid. I myself will only drive it about 5000-6000 miles per year.

This is my first MB as i have been more of an Audi and Honda person. I decided to give MB a shot and see how it goes, Before purchasing, I did some research which included reading posts on this site. A lot of members didn't like the MOE run flats. Mine were ok except for the somewhat harsh ride so I just swapped them out to grand touring all season non-run flats and will be posting the MOE run flats soon in the marketplace section. I now carry a portable compressor and plug kit just in case. The ride is smoother now but handling may have suffered a bit but I would rather have the smoother ride.
