Thanks for the video. Made me appreciate my 2013 C250 even more! I'm the first owner and so far it has done 28k miles. Self-maintained since new other than recalls. Stock keyless entry, push-to-start, staggered 18" amg wheels, lighting package and becker map pilot. I just replaced the 10-year-old but otherwise still good Pirelli tires. And lately, I had issues in the morning with the stiffed-up brake pedal. I'd say this is the very first issue I had. I replaced the brake vacuum pump and fixed it. I also heard about the Banjo bolt and this will be my next project.
Thanks for watching! Love to hear your doing your own maintenance! Sounds like your showing it the love it needs and it's treating you well! Hopefully it lasts you many more years to come.
I have a salvage title 2013 c250 sport package, bought at 77k miles and currently at 105k had it for 3 years miles maintenance wise it’s not to bad if you have extra money after you purchase the car you should be fine I absolutely love my c250 I maintain it really well ! In my opinion I feel my car is super reliable due to my obsession of having my car at 100% and putting 91 gas
Looking at a 2013 - 70K 1 owner, no ones ever been in the back seat, woman owned, Malibu, CA, dealer only serviced. $14,500 firm AMG wheels, sport package
Woman owned Benz the only thing that would scare me but because it’s in Malibu she might keep up with preventative maintenance based off economic status alone max
Thanks for watching. I've found that "women" owned vehichles tend to have more major maintenance done i.e. timing,transmission replacement ect done. Alongside what ypu was saying about the location being in Malibu.
@@yungjetsquee706 I got one for sale 80k miles amg package 10k ur getting played lol. Southern California. Just freshly tinted all the windows. And forgot to mention it’s the coupe version as well.
I’m looking at this 2013 c250 sport sedan. It’s currently priced at $11,800 with 43k mileage on it. Does it sound like a good deal? I’m not familiar with the mercedes maintenance stuff, is it pricey to maintain this car?
Thanks for watching! I'd say given the mileage that car seems like a decent price however things like rubber bushings/ struts ect still wear over time and could need to be addressed to bring the car back to perfect performance.
My father left me a 3 owner, full service history 2002 W203 C270 CDI with 210 000 miles on it, the suspension, auto transmission and motor are still unbelievably smooth and has been very well looked after. This car moves when you want it to, only issues were the crank shaft sensor, transmission selector switch and a small leak on the mechanical diesel pump. I am seriously considering a non boosted large capacity W204. My first Mercedes has been a great experience.
i bought a c class two days ago (w204 , 220d, 170bhp pre facelift) im a young lad (22) and honestly i couldnt ask for anything better , i owned a bmw x5 e70 2010 two years ago and honestly i like the merc alot more
Thanks for watching! I can see the fuel economy of the x5 alone pushing you more towards the c class, especially if you didn't need all the extra room of the x5.
Another Fact if u fill the tank up to half tank u’ll feel a lil bit more power then use’ll but u gotta turn the paddle shifts on an u got to literally learn to drive the car how it likes cause it doesn’t like to or know how to launch in auto obviously an if u want just a lil bit more power lower it an get an exhaust you obviously won’t Gap anyone unless u got a manual a whole different car way faster
Im 27, been a volvo guy since i turned 18, currently have a 2012 xc60 which i dont find very comfy to sit in and im now eyeing a 2012-2013 2.1l diesel merc with the 204hp engine and 4wd. Has anyone here in the comments switched from a p3 volvo to a merc of the same or similar year model? What was your experience with it? Did it feel better, sportier, comfortable to drive or not
Thank for watching! I'd recommend taking it to your local German Car specialist. But if your trying to d.i.y it. I'd tart with unhinged all the 87 fuel out of it. Then refilling with premium fuel then replacing the spark plugs unless you know they've been replaced already with quality ones in the near past. After that chasing down your misfire to ignition coils and such. Otherwise lower grade fuel shouldn't actually cause any issues to your car from a one time accident. Unless the fuel was contaminated. Hopefully this helps.
I got 40k miles on my 2014 C250 and 90k on my 2012 GLK 350. Awesome designs and engines. They both run great! I don't like the new more tech oriented Benz. Collectors cars for sure.
You not wrong bro I have a 2020 a220. I jsut got and It’s so trash feels like a Nissan with Benz logo. But my 204c250 2013 is beautiful I love that car. Real life og sport car design
This is NOT a "sport model". The "sport model" C250 doesn't have wood grain dash panels, and the stitching on the leather is all highlighted in red, and the seatbelts are red.
Hello Everyone! I’m looking to get my first car and a colleague of mine is selling his 2014 C250 sport at 65,000 miles for 10 grand. No engine lights or on the dashboard. I want to know what are everyone’s thoughts on it. Also what would be yearly maintenance costs on it and parts or things to be aware about.
Thanks for watching the video! As long as there is no exterior damage I'd say it's worth around 10k. Cost of maintenance is largely going to be determined by how hard its driven and how many miles you put on. But overall I'd say a decent buy
Thanks a lot man! I did test drive it today! The engine sounds really quite. It’s acceleration has different sound then all the other cars I have driven. Maybe it’s just how Mercedes are. He said he had aligned the mounting brackets for Engine and transmission. I just found the steering a bit stiff, is it how all Mercedes are? I would roughy be driving 15000 miles yearly
I drive a 2013 C63 AMG and the leather is fake I can tell 😢And yes once you buy the push button to install where the key goes you just need to have the key on you to start the car.
2013 c250 sport with all the options with 120K mi. 2nd owner we'll maintained by dealer. $9800 private party. Wanting to buy for my 16 yr old child. Decent deal?
Thank you for your watching hope you enjoyed the video! If well maintained means some major work done with receipts". I'd try and get it for slightly less but yes it seems it could be a decent deal!
I wish I was near you. I have an 05 c230, 17 E 4Matic and just purchased a 12 c250. All sport coupes. As you can see I love these cars but this c250 I just purchased to get to my local job May have been a mistake. Nice aesthetically with 110k miles and vegan leather that tears easily, but it’s only been 5 days and it’s steaming with a smell of antifreeze inside. So either there’s a radiator issue or maybe a cap issue. I’m hoping that maybe if there’s a heaven above that the service from the dealer I got it from could have overflowed the reservoir. I don’t think the mechanic of a ford/Honda dealer would know how intricate repairs or service should be on a German car. But if you say it’s a decent buy then I’m not as disappointed. Thank you for this video. I am subscribed!
Thank you for watching! Keep your fingers crossed because a coolant smell inside the car could be a leaking heater core. And although probably one of the most expensive by nature of repairs if you got your for a great bargain and proceed with the repair it could still be a great car with more peace of mind afterwards. Please let me know what it winds up being and best of wishes!
@@GhostMafia4 I will. I noticed when I had my integra it happened every time I pulled in a drive thru which is a platform or slight incline. The temp gauge increased in the dash. The differences here is I noticed the smell and steam at a drive thru at the bank last night on a similar incline and platform but the temp gauge was normal and did not elevate. That is the finger cross of them just overfilling or maybe even a cap replace from my experience instead of a heater core. Please pray for me and this car!! 🤣 Talk soon with updates!
Just bought a 2013 C220 CDI, AMG sport with a 6 speed manual. Well looked after, best car I’ve had in a long time, went from an A4, the Merc eats the miles.
@@GhostMafia4 went from a W203 to an 2011 Audi A3 2.0 TDI, the Audi was better than the 203 but the 204 is a way better car than both. No Adblue emissions nonsense either, Not sure if you get the OM651 engine in the US but it’s well proven, Sprinter vans are testament to its durability. I love mine!
Thanks for watching! We've actually been doing quite a few of the 2.0 tdi's recently. I've thought about making a video on it pointing out some if there biggest issues. Not sure if I should tho.
05:26 it mercedes own M-bex seating surface....its pleather. it lasts longer and holds up better than leather. if i was getting used mercedes, i too would want the M-bex seating cuz it would have held up better. if buying new, i would buy the real leather.
Thanks for watching! It's crazy they have their own variation of pleather! I'll have to do more research on the durability and special care to help it last longer.
Hey man love your content ! I have a c250 & the check engine light starting coming on occasionally now it’s indefinitely on the dash & I was wondering what all could possible be wrong? Definitely not the gas cap I’ve tightened that to make sure.
I HAVE THIS SAME BENZ AND YES THERE IS A PUSH TO START. ITS BLACK AND RED INTERIOR LOW MIL. ALSO FOUND THAT IF YOU WARM THE CAR FIRST FOR ABOUT 10MINS YOU GET BETTER PERFORMANCE
selling my baby for $12,000 2013 c250 Sport. Just hit around 93,000 miles. Not too sure. About to hit the 100,000 mark though. I didn’t like the leather either. My drivers seat is ripped. Besides the seat , my only other cosmetic issue is the front (left) side of my bumper. Kinda got a lil too excited and ended up scuffing it and breaking the daylight running light 😅
Thanks for watching. I actually did notice that you can buy these seats in sections. If it's in good condition they are not necessarily "cheap" tho so the customer didn't wanna go that route.
Wanted to get your opinion on a 2013 Mercedes c250 1.8L turbo with 80k miles for 11,500 is it worth it? Doesn’t seem to have any issues and is clean inside and out
Thanks for watching! I'd check other vehichles in your area and see how the one you found compares to it in price/maintenance history/ condition could be a great deal.
I’m looking at getting a 2014 C2 50 worth about turn 100,000 miles on it what would you say it would cost to replace the engine and or transmission when that comes to the time for it to be done? What are the average quality/cost of parts like? And is there available service manuals out yet for this year of vehicle?
Thanks for watching. As far as cost of engine /transmission replacement their are lots of variables that come into play. But the economy trim c250 will definitely cost less to replace these bigger ticket items than say a s550 of the same year.
Thanks for watching the video. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of any German cars utilizing a fuel cutoff switch like the Fords and other domestic vehicles.
W204 is a perfect car, not too big but not very small if you dont need a lot of extra space or you are not big, or have a big familiy. I owned Series7, ML, Q7, Phaeton, big phat boats, but an elegant Cclass makes driving way more enjoyable
Thank you for watching! Love your comment, couldn't agree more. The w204 is a great combination of style, efficiency, and price. Personally I choose the E90 bmw but we'll save that for another video 😆.
Thank you for watching the video! It's good your checking the fluids! If your on up there in mileage I'd recommend going ahead and changing the fluid out. These transmissions like fresh fluid.
hey im trynna cop a 2013 c250 coupe 112,000 for 7grand with the 4 cylinder it runs good the owner said she's been getting oil changes at mercades what you think its a bad car just don't want no problems
Hey thanks for watching! I'd check wilhat the local cars are selling for in your area you may be able to find something in your budget that's better or you'll find out the one your looking at isn't that bad a deal. Best wishes!
Thank you for watching my video. The vehochoe you asked about dosent seem to be below highest KBB value personally id keep looking but if it has a long service history it could still be a great buy .
I got mine with about 64,000 miles. About 2 years ago. He wanted $18,000 !!! And it has a salvaged title! I took advantage of the fact the title says salvaged and also took him the cash all on hand. !😁 Dude got caught cheating and the wife took it out on the Car 😅 After the test drive and seeing the paper work , I had to have it!! Walked away with my baby for $14,000 Minus the Rims, but this Car Is Deff Something else.
Thanks for watching. Depending on the condition and maintenance record it could be a decent deal but I'd make sure the big ticket repairs are already done ✔️
Been looking into possibly buying a used c300 or c250 (05-14) for my wife as a commuter. What are some things I should look out for and what do you consider a high mileage that we should steer away from?
Thanks for watching the video! Honestly with these cars it's all about big maintenance jobs completed on time engine mounts fluids ect. Best of wishes in your endeavors
c250 owner/mechanic here . 122k is a little after issues start happening with the engine . maybe the 6500 is best due to the common problems that come with the car after so many miles
I got a 2012 c 300 4MATIC my steering wheel is weird asf when I drive straight the it’s at 90 degree angle just like you have it @8:48 (I bought it like that ) any idea on how to fix that ?
Hey I have one but it is a C 300, I also had a C250 where are you located???? I need someone to change my oil and keep my car maintenance and knows what they are doing first of all and to just keep my car maintained.
Thanks for video! I really enjoyed it, i have a question to you as mechanic- i really love look of 2013 c250cdi estate. Would you say go for manual or auto transmission, also is that 2.1 engine a renault one? Would you agree with me that mercedes looks great outside but inside feels outdated? Or is just my feeling? Also is it worth getting mercedes c class estate with 115k miles on it(not taxi) or is like with all cars- pay for inspection before buying if possible and no matter if merc or audi? Have you worked on honda accord 2012 2.2 diesel estate? They look great inside-leather is much better quality than in merc you showed in video. Would you say stay away from e class and get c class estate 10 years old for example?
Hey thanks for watching the video personally for a daily commuter id get an automatic unless you plan on pulling small trailers frequently. I agree with you on the Mercedes feeling outdated.
@@GhostMafia4 i think i will keep money for something else and i will buy cheap old audi a4 avant for 1000 quid 2.0tdi as daily, i m not fan of auto gearboxes
Thanks for watching! It's hard for me to compare to VW since any direct injection engine is going to naturally buildup carbon over time however If the engine is happy I've seen them go over 100k miles without major buildup so the answer is if the engine is happy it runs cleaner than if it's unhappy. Things like leaky valve cover/oil pan, bad pcv, vacuum leak, faulty injector, weak turbo ect are all going to accelerate carbon buildup
Yes anyone asking buy one I had 3 they the best 4 cylinders and easy to fix I had a 2013 white c250 coupe then got a 2014 black c250 coupe now I’m in 2012 blue efficient c250 coupe year 13 is probably the best one I dogged the fuck out that car did donuts burnouts and even got a ecu stage 1 tune but the guy gave me a stage 2 by accident but I only had to replace some parts mostly spark plug and coolant pipe going to the engine those are the most common repairs in my opinion especially that coolant pipe on all 3 car have broken on me 2 time each but it’s easy to repair I can now fix it in 10 mins before took me an hour when I first did it
Thank you for watching!! Its amazing how many of the small important things you learn by owning multiple of the same model cars and learn what to look for and what's most important to replace. Sounds like you've definitely got the upper hand when it comes to W204 C250's. Keep on wrenching man!
I had a 2013 C250 with 22K miles. That interior is not leather, it is M-B tex and better than leather as you stick to it rather than slide across it. The Push to Start came in the 2015 model C series. I currently have a C300 4Matic with a Kleemann tune, in the neighborhood of 370hp. Runs thru the traps 1/8 mile at 80mph at PIR. That generation of cars are just great and it's good to see that one with 125K miles looking and running so good. BTW terrible car in the ice, just sayin
Thank you for watching. Unfortunately unless you have the dealer software you can't view how many times certain dtc/check engine light have been cleared.
@@GhostMafia4 love the old mercs. Mechanic has advised w204 is last of limited technology. Newer model too many issues due to tech levels. My old w202 still going strong but gearbox nearly shit itself.
Seems to be the weak link of the w202 unfortunately. I think we simply drive faster for longer periods now vs then and they can't quite hold on that long with the heat inside.
On Facebook market someone selling a c250 Benz 2013 and not sure if it’s a clean title yet, 105k miles, he got a aftermarket exhaust and an after market rear bumper, 2 owners, he said he got pink slip in hand, he’s asking for 8.5, you thinks it’s worth 8.5? I kinda wanna get him to 7k, and I forgot to mention that he uses it daily he said and the miles will go up. LET ME KNOW ITS WORTH IT
I’m gonna also ask what he’s done to the car like what maintenance he’s done to it recently, if he’s ever had problems anything specific with the car too, cuz I’m really tryna get a good deal and a good car off the street
Are they reliable in the long run, compared to C300s? I've heard from a few mechanics that the V6 engine is better than a 4-cylinder turbo, and that they may have common transmission issues. How common are they? (Asking for owners who've owned either or have several years of experience with these cars.)
Thanks for watching. In our experience the difference in the 4 cylinder turbo and n/a v6 you pay the same for each in the long run. So really it's up to how far / many miles ypur comparing. One you pay more to drive around faster and less mpg the other has more wear items i/e turbo ect.
@@GhostMafia4 That makes sense. So the 4 cylinder is a bit less reliable, but you end up spending the same because it saves you on gas. Thanks for the response. Really wanted a 300 but they're hard to find in low mileage, considering a 250
The Joe Biden cough comment. Bahahah. 1 year later: gas prices still F’D! 😂. Thanks for the video. Going to look at a 2015 c300 to mod up and sell high. ✅
Im glad I came here lol, didn't know they had AMG for this model. Looking to get one 100k miles 10k I'm in MD, so everything is inflated. How is the price looking to y'all?
I bought this exact car 2013 C250 sedan the sport package comes with the metal looking interior the red seatbelts the red stitching on the seats and a couple other things I love this car I had the wheels powder coated candy apple red with sparkle and then I limo tinted all the window and this thing is one sick driving machine and I don’t want to say my TopSpeed because I would incriminate myself but let’s just say it was very fast I enjoyed your video thank you
Thanks for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Without incriminating ourselves it'd be fun to see your c250 vs the S4 in my latest videos comparison.
Thanks for watching our video!! Your definitely at a higher mileage risk area but hopefully it was maintained well and it'll last you another solid 150k miles
Hey, I’m young and I’m looking at buying a 2013 250 for ab 6k the only issue is the check engine light is on. Do you think it would be too much to fix ?
so i had this problem with warning lights before on my 2013 c250 as well. and the lights wouldn't go away after the fixes. so i bought a scanner. one of the small ones not super expensive plugged it in and downloaded the app for the scanner, scanned the car and the codes for the lights came up. all i did was overwrite the codes and ta dah no more warning lights! and dont worry if youre car actually does have a problem in the future the car will respond with warning lights, so its not a permanent overwrite.
ALSO the scanner is SUPER helpful in identifying what problems your car might have in detail. so you wont have to waste time in guessing what MIGHT be a problem.
Someone cleared the code and sold this same car to me under the false pretense that everything was on the up and up. I ended up spending another $2000 to fix the problem. Bent sprocket and phaser. Apparently there is a recall for this on all 2013 C class
Thanks for watching the video. I beleive AMG Is the best mercedes trim line they offer. So if you were considering buying one id go with that, just for the fact of future value.
@@GhostMafia4 OK, one thing shall I be concered about mechanical problems or not as Im between Volvo and this Merc.. its for my family and I need a reliable car - I have now Volvo V50 for 15 years and never had any issue basically only needs oil and diesel so from this point of view I basically need to avoid a car that breaks down and of course if something goes wrong it’s expensive here in Switzerland- but the good thing is that this Merc is for a good price as anything older than 10 years here nobody wants here but I believe its a beautiful car. Its AMG and also Estate car so my only concers is reliability- you have any experience with this car yourself?? If not reliable I get another Volvo and thats it 🤣🤣👏 thanks man!!
This is one of the biggest questions/situations most people find themselves in and simply put the answer is any car that performs at a higher standard is going to cost more. 4 x 20 year old Honda accord with over 300k miles = the cost of a single 5 year old luxury performance sedan. Only you can decide where/what you most need.
@@GhostMafia4 I know but do you know if its a reliable car? I mean for example we know that Range Rover is not reliabel so what would this Merc be on scale from 1 to 10 ( 10 is super reliable)… thanks man!! Appreciate
Interesting you should mention range rover we have been talking about them in my shop and it's almost as tho certain cars get a reputation. We've actually never seen a range rover with a major mechanical problem. And the electrical problems that they "have" are generally just modules that need replaced and reprogrammed. To answer your question more specifically I'd give the Mercedes a 7 out of 10 as long as you got the AMG model as mentioned. As far as mechanical reliability. If it is in your budget to buy it twice any repairs you may have shouldn't be an issue.
If it's below the average selling price of others in your area and dosent show signs of fluid leaking orany other mechanicalflaws , it could definitely be a car that treats you well.
I did :). took advantage of the low market price. 13' mb C250 amg sport plus 87k, it does not have a backup camera or rear window shade however it has a Sport button and active rear dampers. The Sport Plus is an extra tune to the transmission i think since it only has Economy or Sport mode, no comfort mode like the other models i see online. it is a great car! 2-4 less cylinder, 2-4 less to maintain. the engine has a bad reputation, however 10k oil changes seem neglectful. Mercedes has a dual adjustable cams called Camtronic, it like a Vtec feel after every shift on Sport Mode. so far fun to drive, satisfied with the power but the chassis so balanced would be a greater car with 300hp at the wheels. the front of the car is so light. it's a great driver car, the handling is engaging, and steering wheel feel is phenomenal in this trim package. the C250 is well balanced sport sedan. worth it very well sorted car.
Nice! 10k service intervals I feel like is a marketing thing that never gets questioned. Similar to "lifetime" transmission fluids. The one you was able to get would be there highest trim line for the C250 correct?
Thanks for watching! We are based out of South GA if the distance isn't to far we'd love to be your mechanic. If we didn't gain a new client hopefully we gained a new subscriber.
Thank you for watching and commenting ! My personal opinion only because its higher in mileage without a service history and its the entry level series would be to pass. Due to the higher mileage it may currently be fully functioning but parts and seals are beginning to need to be replaced.
Hi @ghostmafia I’m looking at a 2013 C250 for 13k with 80k miles. Do you think it’s worth it? It comes with a 3 month warranty and I can buy an extended warranty. What should I beware of in terms of maintenance and other potential issues? I would hate to get any car that has unbearable issues.
Yeah don’t get extended bro I was in ur situation exactly and got the warranty. They don’t cover much and their hourly technician rate is way lower than what Benz charges
Man I have my eyes on a 2009 Mercedes c300 luxury model sedan. With 117,000 miles seems to be in great condition. But I never own a Mercedes. How do I find your shop?
Thanks For watching the video. Depending on your area that could be a steal of a deal. I would definitely join a Facebook group where others have the same car and you'd be surprised how many of them have meticulously maintained cars that they're selling at a fraction of the cost to buy elsewhere.
It was a good review. But i like to see what you say about the car i bought 3 years ago. My dream car. It is a cab 2002 clk 55 amg. For me its been a great car. It has lots of power and it sticks to the ground. It also has been very reliable.
Thank You For watching!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video. I've been contemplating picking up a clk to do a run through on. And after your comment I've got all green lights now!!! Now to marketplace to find one lol.
Pin my comment to the top , w204 has common rusty rear subframe that would eat thru from the inside out. MB USA extended our warranty until 2030 , they will replace it for free of charge and no questions ask even not original owner . This is new so not many know it.
@@Proudmary7 there been mechanical and electrical problems on it since the very beginning. Recently the transmission blew out, and all my services and maintenance was up to date. 170k miles it was within time. Spent over 7k in repairs alone and it still blew out despite the upkeep.
Can someone tell me the difference between a c200, c220, c250 and a c300 cuz they all look the same from the outside I was wondering how to buy from these w204 models since the c63 is the obvious highest model
First off thank you for watching the video! Very good question. Simply put the C63 would be the highest performing c class model. Mainly it's engine size / suspension / transmission configuration that's gonna separate the trim lines.
Thanks for the video. Made me appreciate my 2013 C250 even more! I'm the first owner and so far it has done 28k miles. Self-maintained since new other than recalls. Stock keyless entry, push-to-start, staggered 18" amg wheels, lighting package and becker map pilot. I just replaced the 10-year-old but otherwise still good Pirelli tires. And lately, I had issues in the morning with the stiffed-up brake pedal. I'd say this is the very first issue I had. I replaced the brake vacuum pump and fixed it. I also heard about the Banjo bolt and this will be my next project.
Thanks for watching! Love to hear your doing your own maintenance! Sounds like your showing it the love it needs and it's treating you well! Hopefully it lasts you many more years to come.
I have a salvage title 2013 c250 sport package, bought at 77k miles and currently at 105k had it for 3 years miles maintenance wise it’s not to bad if you have extra money after you purchase the car you should be fine I absolutely love my c250 I maintain it really well ! In my opinion I feel my car is super reliable due to my obsession of having my car at 100% and putting 91 gas
Thanks for watching! Love the care you've put into maintaining yours! I love when the right people buy salvage!
You can change the key to push to start, literally just buy the button and put it in.
Thanks for watching! That's awesome Mercedes made the wiring already back there!
Must have keyless go
Thanks for watching the video!
I been thinking about buying this car , this video definitely posted my confidence and answered a few questions thank you !
Thank you for watching! So glad we was able to help you! #heartwarmed
Looking at a 2013 - 70K 1 owner, no ones ever been in the back seat, woman owned, Malibu, CA, dealer only serviced. $14,500 firm AMG wheels, sport package
Sounds like a decent car we'll kept and low mileage!
Woman owned Benz the only thing that would scare me but because it’s in Malibu she might keep up with preventative maintenance based off economic status alone max
Thanks for watching. I've found that "women" owned vehichles tend to have more major maintenance done i.e. timing,transmission replacement ect done. Alongside what ypu was saying about the location being in Malibu.
@@yungjetsquee706 I got one for sale 80k miles amg package 10k ur getting played lol. Southern California. Just freshly tinted all the windows. And forgot to mention it’s the coupe version as well.

My father left me a 3 owner, full service history 2002 W203 C270 CDI with 210 000 miles on it, the suspension, auto transmission and motor are still unbelievably smooth and has been very well looked after. This car moves when you want it to, only issues were the crank shaft sensor, transmission selector switch and a small leak on the mechanical diesel pump. I am seriously considering a non boosted large capacity W204. My first Mercedes has been a great experience.
Thanks for watching! Definitely sounds like you got a great family heirloom!
i bought a c class two days ago (w204 , 220d, 170bhp pre facelift) im a young lad (22) and honestly i couldnt ask for anything better , i owned a bmw x5 e70 2010 two years ago and honestly i like the merc alot more
Thanks for watching! I can see the fuel economy of the x5 alone pushing you more towards the c class, especially if you didn't need all the extra room of the x5.
How’s the c class going for you any problems with it ?
Another Fact if u fill the tank up to half tank u’ll feel a lil bit more power then use’ll but u gotta turn the paddle shifts on an u got to literally learn to drive the car how it likes cause it doesn’t like to or know how to launch in auto obviously an if u want just a lil bit more power lower it an get an exhaust you obviously won’t Gap anyone unless u got a manual a whole different car way faster
Push to start, is just a button and you can keep the key in your pocket. And "faux leather" is pronounced 'foe', or in this case, MB-Tex.

Im 27, been a volvo guy since i turned 18, currently have a 2012 xc60 which i dont find very comfy to sit in and im now eyeing a 2012-2013 2.1l diesel merc with the 204hp engine and 4wd.
Has anyone here in the comments switched from a p3 volvo to a merc of the same or similar year model?
What was your experience with it? Did it feel better, sportier, comfortable to drive or not
Dude, I have a white 2013 C250 sport sedan with red wheels but every time I heard your alert, I looked at my dash 😅😅
Thanks for watching! There's nothing like the intensity of a dash light ding 😆
I pump 87 gas in my 2013 c250 and the check engine light came on, also it’s misfiring. How can I fix this?
Thank for watching! I'd recommend taking it to your local German Car specialist. But if your trying to d.i.y it. I'd tart with unhinged all the 87 fuel out of it. Then refilling with premium fuel then replacing the spark plugs unless you know they've been replaced already with quality ones in the near past. After that chasing down your misfire to ignition coils and such. Otherwise lower grade fuel shouldn't actually cause any issues to your car from a one time accident. Unless the fuel was contaminated. Hopefully this helps.
I currently looking into a 2013 Mercedes C-Class C250. It's black with 97,000 miles going for $9,990. CLEAN TOO!
Thanks for watching the video! Hopefully your deal works out!
watch for the timing belt and fuel injector . they start breaking towards 100k miles and the price to fix them is not pretty

I got 40k miles on my 2014 C250 and 90k on my 2012 GLK 350. Awesome designs and engines. They both run great! I don't like the new more tech oriented Benz. Collectors cars for sure.
Thanks for watching! It does seem that true Mercedes fan's actually enjoy the less technological models, I wonder why that is.
You not wrong bro I have a 2020 a220. I jsut got and It’s so trash feels like a Nissan with Benz logo. But my 204c250 2013 is beautiful I love that car. Real life og sport car design
40k miles is nothing though. Come back at 260k and let is know..
Thank you for watching! Couldn't agree more.
yeah. just change oil every 5k miles for c250
It has the sport appearance package on a Luxury model. GORGEOUS! I have 2... 2012 and 2014. And you're right, imitation leather.

This is NOT a "sport model". The "sport model" C250 doesn't have wood grain dash panels, and the stitching on the leather is all highlighted in red, and the seatbelts are red.

Hello Everyone! I’m looking to get my first car and a colleague of mine is selling his 2014 C250 sport at 65,000 miles for 10 grand. No engine lights or on the dashboard. I want to know what are everyone’s thoughts on it. Also what would be yearly maintenance costs on it and parts or things to be aware about.
Thanks for watching the video! As long as there is no exterior damage I'd say it's worth around 10k. Cost of maintenance is largely going to be determined by how hard its driven and how many miles you put on. But overall I'd say a decent buy
Thanks a lot man! I did test drive it today! The engine sounds really quite. It’s acceleration has different sound then all the other cars I have driven. Maybe it’s just how Mercedes are.
He said he had aligned the mounting brackets for Engine and transmission. I just found the steering a bit stiff, is it how all Mercedes are?
I would roughy be driving 15000 miles yearly

2013 c250 sport with all the options with 120K mi. 2nd owner we'll maintained by dealer. $9800 private party. Wanting to buy for my 16 yr old child. Decent deal?
Thank you for your watching hope you enjoyed the video! If well maintained means some major work done with receipts". I'd try and get it for slightly less but yes it seems it could be a decent deal!
Yea. Honestly. If it’s well taken care of. mine is at 92,000 miles and hasn’t given me any problems. Just the usual services, coils and spark plugs
Very nice!
I wish I was near you. I have an 05 c230, 17 E 4Matic and just purchased a 12 c250. All sport coupes. As you can see I love these cars but this c250 I just purchased to get to my local job May have been a mistake. Nice aesthetically with 110k miles and vegan leather that tears easily, but it’s only been 5 days and it’s steaming with a smell of antifreeze inside. So either there’s a radiator issue or maybe a cap issue. I’m hoping that maybe if there’s a heaven above that the service from the dealer I got it from could have overflowed the reservoir. I don’t think the mechanic of a ford/Honda dealer would know how intricate repairs or service should be on a German car. But if you say it’s a decent buy then I’m not as disappointed. Thank you for this video. I am subscribed!
Thank you for watching! Keep your fingers crossed because a coolant smell inside the car could be a leaking heater core. And although probably one of the most expensive by nature of repairs if you got your for a great bargain and proceed with the repair it could still be a great car with more peace of mind afterwards. Please let me know what it winds up being and best of wishes!
@@GhostMafia4 I will. I noticed when I had my integra it happened every time I pulled in a drive thru which is a platform or slight incline. The temp gauge increased in the dash. The differences here is I noticed the smell and steam at a drive thru at the bank last night on a similar incline and platform but the temp gauge was normal and did not elevate. That is the finger cross of them just overfilling or maybe even a cap replace from my experience instead of a heater core. Please pray for me and this car!! 🤣
Talk soon with updates!
Just bought a 2013 C220 CDI, AMG sport with a 6 speed manual. Well looked after, best car I’ve had in a long time, went from an A4, the Merc eats the miles.
Thanks for watching! Sounds like you've found quite the package deal on your new Mercedes!
@@GhostMafia4 went from a W203 to an 2011 Audi A3 2.0 TDI, the Audi was better than the 203 but the 204 is a way better car than both. No Adblue emissions nonsense either, Not sure if you get the OM651 engine in the US but it’s well proven, Sprinter vans are testament to its durability. I love mine!

Wanted to get your opinion on a 2013 Mercedes c250 1.8L turbo with 80k miles for 11,500 is it worth it? Doesn’t seem to have any issues and is clean inside and out

I’m looking at getting a 2014 C2 50 worth about turn 100,000 miles on it what would you say it would cost to replace the engine and or transmission when that comes to the time for it to be done? What are the average quality/cost of parts like? And is there available service manuals out yet for this year of vehicle?
Thanks for watching. As far as cost of engine /transmission replacement their are lots of variables that come into play. But the economy trim c250 will definitely cost less to replace these bigger ticket items than say a s550 of the same year.

Do you know where the fuel module cut off switch is located on a 2013 Mercedes Benz C250 W204?
Thanks for watching the video. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of any German cars utilizing a fuel cutoff switch like the Fords and other domestic vehicles.
W204 is a perfect car, not too big but not very small if you dont need a lot of extra space or you are not big, or have a big familiy. I owned Series7, ML, Q7, Phaeton, big phat boats, but an elegant Cclass makes driving way more enjoyable
Thank you for watching! Love your comment, couldn't agree more. The w204 is a great combination of style, efficiency, and price. Personally I choose the E90 bmw but we'll save that for another video 😆.

Thanks for video! I really enjoyed it, i have a question to you as mechanic- i really love look of 2013 c250cdi estate. Would you say go for manual or auto transmission, also is that 2.1 engine a renault one? Would you agree with me that mercedes looks great outside but inside feels outdated? Or is just my feeling? Also is it worth getting mercedes c class estate with 115k miles on it(not taxi) or is like with all cars- pay for inspection before buying if possible and no matter if merc or audi? Have you worked on honda accord 2012 2.2 diesel estate? They look great inside-leather is much better quality than in merc you showed in video. Would you say stay away from e class and get c class estate 10 years old for example?
Hey thanks for watching the video personally for a daily commuter id get an automatic unless you plan on pulling small trailers frequently. I agree with you on the Mercedes feeling outdated.

Thinking of getting one, question are these 4 cylinder prone to carbon buildup like the vw 2.0?
Thanks for watching! It's hard for me to compare to VW since any direct injection engine is going to naturally buildup carbon over time however If the engine is happy I've seen them go over 100k miles without major buildup so the answer is if the engine is happy it runs cleaner than if it's unhappy. Things like leaky valve cover/oil pan, bad pcv, vacuum leak, faulty injector, weak turbo ect are all going to accelerate carbon buildup

Thank you for watching!! Its amazing how many of the small important things you learn by owning multiple of the same model cars and learn what to look for and what's most important to replace. Sounds like you've definitely got the upper hand when it comes to W204 C250's. Keep on wrenching man!
I had a 2013 C250 with 22K miles. That interior is not leather, it is M-B tex and better than leather as you stick to it rather than slide across it.

Are they reliable in the long run, compared to C300s? I've heard from a few mechanics that the V6 engine is better than a 4-cylinder turbo, and that they may have common transmission issues. How common are they? (Asking for owners who've owned either or have several years of experience with these cars.)
Thanks for watching. In our experience the difference in the 4 cylinder turbo and n/a v6 you pay the same for each in the long run. So really it's up to how far / many miles ypur comparing. One you pay more to drive around faster and less mpg the other has more wear items i/e turbo ect.
@@GhostMafia4 That makes sense. So the 4 cylinder is a bit less reliable, but you end up spending the same because it saves you on gas. Thanks for the response. Really wanted a 300 but they're hard to find in low mileage, considering a 250
I wouldn't say less reliable just smaller motor with more wear parts in the same weight vehicle.

Hey, I’m young and I’m looking at buying a 2013 250 for ab 6k the only issue is the check engine light is on. Do you think it would be too much to fix ?
Thanks for watching! I'd check on the engine lights and see what they are if nothing too serious it could be worth it.
so i had this problem with warning lights before on my 2013 c250 as well. and the lights wouldn't go away after the fixes. so i bought a scanner. one of the small ones not super expensive plugged it in and downloaded the app for the scanner, scanned the car and the codes for the lights came up. all i did was overwrite the codes and ta dah no more warning lights! and dont worry if youre car actually does have a problem in the future the car will respond with warning lights, so its not a permanent overwrite.
ALSO the scanner is SUPER helpful in identifying what problems your car might have in detail. so you wont have to waste time in guessing what MIGHT be a problem.
Someone cleared the code and sold this same car to me under the false pretense that everything was on the up and up. I ended up spending another $2000 to fix the problem. Bent sprocket and phaser. Apparently there is a recall for this on all 2013 C class

@@GhostMafia4 OK, one thing shall I be concered about mechanical problems or not as Im between Volvo and this Merc.. its for my family and I need a reliable car - I have now Volvo V50 for 15 years and never had any issue basically only needs oil and diesel so from this point of view I basically need to avoid a car that breaks down and of course if something goes wrong it’s expensive here in Switzerland- but the good thing is that this Merc is for a good price as anything older than 10 years here nobody wants here but I believe its a beautiful car. Its AMG and also Estate car so my only concers is reliability- you have any experience with this car yourself?? If not reliable I get another Volvo and thats it 🤣🤣👏 thanks man!!
This is one of the biggest questions/situations most people find themselves in and simply put the answer is any car that performs at a higher standard is going to cost more. 4 x 20 year old Honda accord with over 300k miles = the cost of a single 5 year old luxury performance sedan. Only you can decide where/what you most need.
@@GhostMafia4 I know but do you know if its a reliable car? I mean for example we know that Range Rover is not reliabel so what would this Merc be on scale from 1 to 10 ( 10 is super reliable)… thanks man!! Appreciate
Interesting you should mention range rover we have been talking about them in my shop and it's almost as tho certain cars get a reputation. We've actually never seen a range rover with a major mechanical problem. And the electrical problems that they "have" are generally just modules that need replaced and reprogrammed. To answer your question more specifically I'd give the Mercedes a 7 out of 10 as long as you got the AMG model as mentioned. As far as mechanical reliability. If it is in your budget to buy it twice any repairs you may have shouldn't be an issue.

Would you buy a 2013 one with 108k miles?
If it's below the average selling price of others in your area and dosent show signs of fluid leaking orany other mechanicalflaws , it could definitely be a car that treats you well.
I did :). took advantage of the low market price. 13' mb C250 amg sport plus 87k, it does not have a backup camera or rear window shade however it has a Sport button and active rear dampers. The Sport Plus is an extra tune to the transmission i think since it only has Economy or Sport mode, no comfort mode like the other models i see online. it is a great car! 2-4 less cylinder, 2-4 less to maintain. the engine has a bad reputation, however 10k oil changes seem neglectful. Mercedes has a dual adjustable cams called Camtronic, it like a Vtec feel after every shift on Sport Mode.
so far fun to drive, satisfied with the power but the chassis so balanced would be a greater car with 300hp at the wheels. the front of the car is so light. it's a great driver car, the handling is engaging, and steering wheel feel is phenomenal in this trim package. the C250 is well balanced sport sedan. worth it very well sorted car.
Nice! 10k service intervals I feel like is a marketing thing that never gets questioned. Similar to "lifetime" transmission fluids. The one you was able to get would be there highest trim line for the C250 correct?
We’re are you located? I’m looking to buy exact car but 2012 and know nothing about cars😢 would you be interested in being my mechanic
Thanks for watching! We are based out of South GA if the distance isn't to far we'd love to be your mechanic. If we didn't gain a new client hopefully we gained a new subscriber.
I am looking at a 2013 c250 with 130k miles for 8500 and so far from what I’ve seen there isn’t really any issue but is it worth it?
Thank you for watching and commenting ! My personal opinion only because its higher in mileage without a service history and its the entry level series would be to pass. Due to the higher mileage it may currently be fully functioning but parts and seals are beginning to need to be replaced.
Could you go in depth on how you fixed each dash light on this car?
Thanks for watching! Mainly it was changing some sensors and fluid then recalibration the whole vehicle.
Hi @ghostmafia I’m looking at a 2013 C250 for 13k with 80k miles. Do you think it’s worth it? It comes with a 3 month warranty and I can buy an extended warranty. What should I beware of in terms of maintenance and other potential issues? I would hate to get any car that has unbearable issues.
Honestly not a bad deal it’s never a bad idea to get extended warranty with these cars but for the same money you can get yourself a newer car …
Yeah don’t get extended bro I was in ur situation exactly and got the warranty. They don’t cover much and their hourly technician rate is way lower than what Benz charges
Thanks for watching! Lot of great information in this comment thread!
Hello, nice video is your shop located in Georgia?
Thanks for watching! Yes it is!
Man I have my eyes on a 2009 Mercedes c300 luxury model sedan. With 117,000 miles seems to be in great condition. But I never own a Mercedes. How do I find your shop?
What part of GA are you in?
@@GhostMafia4 Covington
2012 Mercedes c250 180k miles for 4100$?
Thank you for watching! We got a new Mercedes video coming soon stay tuned!
Did u get it?
Did it make a whine at low rpm’s?
Thanks for watching! No it did not.
Where are u located? Need a good mechanic?
Thanks for watching! Feel free to send any info to hdperformance24@gmail.com
Good video
Thank you!
@ghost mafia how about 2015 c350 4matic 187000 miles 1owner 12999/- ?
Thanks For watching the video. Depending on your area that could be a steal of a deal. I would definitely join a Facebook group where others have the same car and you'd be surprised how many of them have meticulously
maintained cars that they're selling at a fraction of the cost to buy elsewhere.
13k for 190,000 miles is high
I have a 2013 C250 Benz with 36k miles selling for $15k salvage title everything is mint condition.
Thanks for watching! Best wishes with your sale!
I have one also 2 door
Thanks for watching!
It was a good review. But i like to see what you say about the car i bought 3 years ago. My dream car. It is a cab 2002 clk 55 amg. For me its been a great car. It has lots of power and it sticks to the ground. It also has been very reliable.
Thank You For watching!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video. I've been contemplating picking up a clk to do a run through on. And after your comment I've got all green lights now!!! Now to marketplace to find one lol.
Mercedes only uses real leather in it's AMG models
Thank you for watching! Interesting in their non-amg its synthetic. Guess they saving the good stuff for their higher paying customers
Nice car, just watch out for the timing chain lol
Thanks for watching! Thisbcar has already had the timing chains done. So another peace of mind for the trip.
i dont know whats more annoying, the seat belt beep or you not wearing the seatbelt. XD
Thanks for watching! Love the input ill definitely do better!
@@GhostMafia4 right on man, ur a cool guy we dont wana see you get hurt :)
Thank You
put your seat belt on brother!
For sure!
Pin my comment to the top , w204 has common rusty rear subframe that would eat thru from the inside out. MB USA extended our warranty until 2030 , they will replace it for free of charge and no questions ask even not original owner . This is new so not many know it.
Thanks for watching! Definitely will have to mention this new info in the next Mercedes video
SUSPENSION ON GERMANS CARS ARE ALWays stiffer
Thanks for watching!
I got a 2014 Mercedes C250 in 2019 and it was the worst mistake I ever made
Thanks for watching the video! Do you have more details on what went wrong/mileage?
What happened?
@@Proudmary7 there been mechanical and electrical problems on it since the very beginning. Recently the transmission blew out, and all my services and maintenance was up to date. 170k miles it was within time. Spent over 7k in repairs alone and it still blew out despite the upkeep.
@@cannen1k Thanks for the reply. I was looking at this car but I do think I'll pass since it already has high miles.
Its not. I have the 2013 C300 Sport 4Matic The sport has the Aluminum The Lux Model has the Woodgrain
Thank you for watching!
Are these known to be reliable???
Most definitely man
Thank you for watching !!!
Can someone tell me the difference between a c200, c220, c250 and a c300 cuz they all look the same from the outside
I was wondering how to buy from these w204 models since the c63 is the obvious highest model
First off thank you for watching the video! Very good question. Simply put the C63 would be the highest performing c class model. Mainly it's engine size / suspension / transmission configuration that's gonna separate the trim lines.
