I was looking for a C230 Coupe for a while a couple years back, and most of the advice I got was stay away. Lots of expensive repairs that aren't really justified by the overall quality of car. Owners I spoke with (on BenzWorld org primarily) agreed that they are slow, poor handling, costly to own vehicles. I didn't really press the issue, but of course one wonders why someone would choose to own such a car. :)

In any case, the advice I got back was that if you gotta have one, stick to the '02ish cars - the last of the 2.3l models.
