My son owns a 2016 Renault Megane but has been driving my W203 around for the past few months because he loves it. When he drives the Megane his friends go "mnyea", but when he drives the Benz, it's "Wow man, you must be earning heaps at your new job, driving a Benz and all" It is a great looking Car and great to drive. and cheaper and easier to repair than anyone would guess. (and I'm no mechanic).
Interior was the only change, led lights in and out, wheels, and bumpers. That’s it. These are reliable ..u WILL have to replace the ECU and Conductor Plate on transmission
@@Jackson-u2zit’s random.. mine went out at 90k miles, you can hear it. It’s like a winding sound, and you’ll feel like you have less torque. The part is less than $300 I think
Surely most issues are now known. My C180 has had a few minor probs but at 240,000kms it's expected. For a 17yo car it freaks me out vs some newer or even newish cars.
Great car for travel but the most crazy car I have ever seen. Out of personal experience, the first most important part in this car is the battery. The second most important part is also the battery 😊... I hate it but yet love it.
No offense, but your mom and sister should take better care of their cars. The wood trim was all scratched up and I saw gunk on the light switches. How do you get the light switches dirty? But then again, I'm a Mercedes lunatic. I have an '05 C220 and an '07 E420. They look like they just left the factory. I regularly wash my cars and provide the proper care for the paint to make sure it looks new and shiny. The only things that clutter my trunks are car detailing stuff, including special care products for the wood trim and the only things that sit in the center console are two makeup brushes for cleaning switches, air vents and other tricky areas without scratching anything.
+Fam Howard Depends on the miles and condition as well if it's maintained right. My mom's 2003 C240 in my Comparison Video has held up well. No issues on it, just consistent on the oil change every 3,000-5,000 miles.
+Fam Howard You can look at a Mercedes C-Class (just avoid high mileage), Infiniti G35 (just avoid fabric seats), Hyundai Sonata, Buick Lacrosse, Chevy Malibu, Chevy Impala, Saturn Aura, Pontiac G6, Scion tC, Dodge Stratus, Chrysler Sebring, Dodge Intrepid, Chrysler 300M, Chrysler 300C, Jeep Grand Cherokee. Just make sure the miles is not too high.
+I. Elharrif I'll pass on that, just use your good judgement on the vehicle condition and make sure everything works before you make that risk decision.
Es más bonito el c 2001 2004 que el 2005 2007 por muchas cosas e incluso los motores más viejo también salen mejor , Mercedes desde el año 2005 hasta el 2012 han hecho basura , en 2013 con el clase c han recuperado terreno y bastante.

When do ECU and conductor plate tend to have to be replaced at what mileage

Read this and had a good laugh, I own a w203 and it’s currently having its conductor plate done😂
@@Jackson-u2zaround 160k on BOTH my 2003 C240 and on my 2007 C230

Merc dual opening center console is an idea taken from 1998-2011 Lincoln Town Car.
good work, young man
Thanks!
You don't get the diesel versions in the U.S. Do you,half the reason to own one!
There is a Diesel for the E-Class, and Diesels typically get better Fuel Economy than the Gasoline counterpart.

Again, not my car!
Lol this statement was unnecessary. 😩😂 it’s not about u 😂🤦♀️
You think a Mercedes would be a good first car?

Imeo Talks Cars ok. What would you suggest for a first car? I only have $5,000 saved up

Imeo Talks Cars Will definitely take a look! Thanks for your help!
+Fam Howard Absolutely! 👍🏾
I love my C Classes. I had two of them. I drive an ML now mostly but want another C
cool work man
+Tom Thanks! 😎
I have a midnight blue 2001, want a white one!
Is there non difference at the back?
Great review man but damn those mercs are so dirty. Shame on the owners
This is hilarious how can a tweak be both slight and major?
Gonna buy me a Mercury,...and cruise up and down the road...
very nice.thanks
I found 2002 one with 200k miles on it for 2000$ should i buy it ?

Imeo Talks Cars alright thanks man
So did you buy it
I. Elharrif 😂
Depends where. In my country no, in the UK I bought one with 214,000 for £590. Great deal
I have a 2003 c230 and idk I just don’t like the interior dash I like the 05 one better tbh that’s just me
2007 c280 is a CVT not a 5 or 7-speed.
No way. I have an 07 C280. It is NOT a CVT
