Any pros/cons to the W203 MB (current C Class)? Posted by turrbo [Email] (#8) [Profile/Gallery] (more from turrbo) on Thu, 18 Aug 2005 21:21:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
My father has a W210 ('97 E class) that just got hit, and has a leaky headgasket after a repair done about 20,000 miles ago. Not to mention the fact that its totally rusting out. After the other driver's insurance pays for the damages, he's going to get rid of the car.
Since we already have two Saabs in the driveway, he's going stick with Mercedes...this will be the fourth I think. He's definitely not going with another W210 (definitely not the best MB has made) and he doesn't want a W202 (older E-class).
I've read good stuff about the newest C-class, but I wanted some first-hand experience! Does it rust like the W210 models do? How's the engine (wants the 3.2) and auto tranny?
Anyone that has one or works on one (Sam are you reading this?!) please chime in here...This deal has to happen soon!
BTW, if it were up to me, there would be a 9-5 Aero heading our way...but I guess I don't make all the decisions :)
