03 C240 2.6L V6 with just over 224,000 miles on it - still running strong!
Nice!!!!
$500 02 @ 240k 25k miles behind on oil change 😢 cant kill the m112
I have an '03 C230 Coupe, Kompressor. Bought in 2019 w.193K mi. very clean int. black leather, maroon ext. working panorama sunroof, garaged by a old lady who had all the dealer maint. records.
Her son sold it for 4000. after she died, whomever did the oil changes put a bit too much oil and it would drip so I started doing my own changes with 4.5 qts. check the levels after 15 miles driven, just added .5 or 1 qts as specified on the panel. I've never had a drippage issue since I do the filter from the top by hand. Still on the original transm. fluid at 125K miles in 2024! No leaks, I owned a repair shop myself so I'm used to getting under the cars and writing up servicing on autos 👌
I've had it serviced at South Bay Mercedes in San Diego as needed just so they have a file on the car. Belt tensioner, Transm. mount, brake bleed, lower radiator hose cracked at the mfg. clamp, purge valve, plugs, coil set... Had a smoke test at the gas tank done and repaired it (the '05 c230 has known issues for the tank neck leak, not the '03)...
So I could do the fuel filter myself and later as needed, the fuel pump. I'm still on the original pump/parts, I got no problem replacing parts OEM off eBay... I cleaned the MAF sensor myself, tune ups, slotted brake rotors, new Toyo tires for the new powder coated chrome rims get lots of compliments 👍
This 2003 model is a joy to work on, the transmission is fantastic, its very reliable as a daily or weekly driver. I tinted my windows, new Alpine head unit, amp for the 12" sub! Clifford car alarm ☝️
My only complaint is, I put it in a carport, the rain got to the bumper creases and I new a new bumper package now. Many options, I can wrap it if I want to...
The p0171 code has been an intermittent issue but the shop I use cant replicate it when I drag it in... Once I replace the cyl. 1 plug and/or all of them, the code disappears. Its kind of an oddity. I'm doing the valve cover gasket and injector set this fall, just because I delayed doing it in 2021.
I bought a 2002 Tacoma and 2019 Rogue --- I mostly park my Benz to not run up miles. Insurance is only 53. per month on it I love it!!
I own a Mercedes C230 2006 avangarde sport edition with manual transmission and is an excellent car to drive
Wish mine was a manual. I never seen the one you have before.
It's all about who maintains the vehicle. So many mercs that could easily go 200,000+ Miles but end up getting trashed and abused by prior owners who aren't meticulous or sloppy with maintenance on these cars. I personally like the w203 w202(4 cylinder) versions.
Best of luck with all of your future projects.
Thank you I gave up on that car. It needed too much for what it was worth.
This video is right on time. I got an 07 C230 to look at today...It looks nice but who knows what lies underneath. Thanks for sharing what happened to you to help out the next guy!
Glad I could help
I got a 07 Benz C230 with 151K still runs like a champ.
Nice!!!
hell yuh right with you it was my first car and I still have it to this day
@@swamidadenjoy it bro it was my first car too dad gifted it to me when I was 16 but crashed it in 2021. Now, I have a 2014 C300 Sport 4MATIC. Still wish I had my old car tho
Same here mines is 07 c230 120k miles shit is fast
Dang that unit was just worn out. I am about to purchase C230 with lifter noise.Thanks for letting us know what other problems may be lurking underneath the skin of this beautiful automobile.
Appreciate your service
Got rid of my e350 w only 89k miles but way too many problems.. good luck
I just bought one for 1000 with an oil leak and misfires.i put 1500 into the car for repairs and recently sold it for $4,100
I’m looking into a 2007 c230, the owner says he has one person coming to look at it today and if he doesn’t show up it’s mine. He said the only problem is the front shocks and it has a dent in the door. Hopefully nothing too serious but ever since I saw the car I’ve been liking Mercedes more. Hopefully God can come through for me. It only has 130k miles.
I bought a 2006 C230 sport for 2995. I had a lot of the same issues u had. I bought all aftermarket performance parts, put 5500 into it and now its a BAD MFer! Whole suspension, rims/tires, blacked it out, small engine upgrades, exhaust, new grill, hood ornament...ppl have offered me 11k! Put in the work, research, and it can be a bad machine! Patience and research my friend
All these things you have listed are just maintenance items. Wait until you start having issues with other things like the supercharge, alternator, refrigerant temperature sensor.
Are these common with these cars?
just copped 98 C230 2.3L 4CY for 1850 for 180k mi !! BLESSED
I have the same car with a bunch of problems as well, was your vacuum problem the vacuum pump?
Vacuum lines were broken and some crossed. I went to the dealership and got a diagram and it smoothed out on me eventually.
Pretty cool that Benz still offered help on a 2004 model.
Glad I could help
Internet friend, my mom owned three Mercedes. My dad tried to talk her out of it, said he'd buy her a Cadillac - nothing doing! They're splendid cars when they work. And that's the problem. As in, you are only in between problems.
All facts
Very helpful
NO PROBLEM
Hi I have 07 c230 mercedes I a regular auto zone code reader. But I don't if I should still take it a shop and pay like 200 just to read the codes on the car. My code reader show a P2212 and a P2004. Should I still take it to the shop to have the read it. Just because the have 50k code reader to my 25 dollar reader. Just want to make sure.
Yea previous owners just didn’t give a fuck about the car take care of your shit and it will last forever
Still running..watching form Malaysia
Best wheels I’ve seen on c230 Benz
Yea they are one of the factors that made me get it. But yes they were nice.
@@watchvictow Beautiful ride 👍 what wheels are those?
just picked up an 07 sport with 138k shes smooth
Got mine 2 weeks ago 07 c230 sport 128k miles on offer up for 2900 my intake manifold just went out on me
I imagine that was a pretty expensive fix.
@@watchvictow it’s like 3-4 k still saving up bro love the 07 sport c clsss my bro got a blue one mine black same
Issue Intake manifold went out on his we took it to a specialist and he did the job I’m just waiting to take mine
Is it me or the old mercs run better than the newer ones for way longer time periods Ik all my guys with new benz have bell problems meanwhile I got 2 older ones a 01 320 183,000 and a 06 230 206,000 be switching up on lol 😂 and work be actually a reasonable price if something’s was to happen
I have 07c230 but start stalling now and then. It didn’t pick up any issues on the diagnostic so I don’t know why it’s doing that
was it a vaccum leak? Thats what it sounds like to me. Or a gas issue.
Got an 07 c230 sport. 175k miles. Runs like a top
got rid of mine
I bought a 2005 C230 with the 1.8l with 190k about 2 years ago and now I got around 225k miles and I've had no issues. I think that dealer is a scammer and selling junk condition cars.
O5 AMG 💯
Nice!!!!
I have 07 sport 103k miles great car
What are the wheels you have on it ?
I don’t have that car anymore but they were Mercedes wheels.
I just bought one with 60k miles and she runs so smooth and very nice interior
Bought a 2007 C-230 back in January 2022
130xxx miles
Clean as hell and well maintained..
Lasted me 4 months & then the tranny blew
Mfs want 3500$ 🥲
wow that's crazy
I found a Mercedes Benz c class 230 2005 for 1.2k and has check engine light on think it would be worth it?
No
If you can afford to keep her running, it will never let you down. So No-Ethanol Gas, oil changes on time, Service A and B when it calls for it and getting the trans fluid swapped every 60,000
hey i just bought a c230 for cheap it looks clean like your but engine is locked i am selling it for $800 everything is stock
Where are you located bro
Still have?
I work on mercedes alot . Just picked up 04 sl500 wouldn't even turn over. At least the body's clean. You will learn alot doing your own work
2007 C280 4MATIC Luxury trim 74k and going strong in 2022
Mine is being sketch with it turning off right after starting
I just bought a c280 2007 also with 70k on the dash
@@shyne5637 great choice, let me know if you have any concerns. run your VIN# to see if your engine's SN# exceeds the balance shaft issue.
Junk?
Umm, umm, oh, umm. You get what you pay for with an entry level Mercedes Benz that was not taken care of by previous owner.
Correct
Idk all i heard was uhh umm uhh ummmmmmm umm ummmm
Previous shitty ghetto/negligent owners ruin cars. Maintenance done properly and these cars are great. I know, have had mine since new, 107k and runs like new. A huge red flag is corny knock offs huge wheels, slammed suspension, etc. Don’t buy garbage with no service history. Tons of these cars in the hood that have the same oil in them since new. 🙄
$$$
Uhm
