I am looking to buy a second hand c class
C350 or c250
Are all 250s equipped with turbo or is it cdi/cgi models only?


Another thing, have anyone tried swiping the front seats of the sedan with ones from the coupe?

I just bought a CPO C350 with 30,320 miles. Best decision ever. Typically a standard C350 will have more options than the C250, more power more torque and less engine trouble.

Not sure about swapping seats, but I love my coupe seats. Remember they move forward and up to accommodate rear passengers, not sure if it would be of a concern in a sedan, I don't know/think sedan seats have same articulation, but likely the same seat tracks and electrical hook ups. I believe all C350 coupes had standard seat heaters.

In US spec cars a C250 is a turbo 1.8 liter engine, yes the turbo is standard. Below specs for model year 2012

C250. 1.8 liter turbocharged Direct Injection inline-4 201 hp @ 5,500 rpm 229 lb-ft net torque @ 2,200–4,300 rpm

C350. 3.5 liter Direct Injection V-6 302 hp @ 6,500 rpm 273 lb -ft net torque @ 3,500–5,250 rpm


Study available options and see which ones you want/need in the car.

Hope this helps.
