Wow , these stats look pretty bad. I was thinking of getting a 2001 C240 but after reading these threads it looks horrible.

I was also looking at a 2000 or 2001 S500 and it doesn't look much better. Are there ANY reliable MB's? if so, which year and model (2000 and up)

Granite230K · 06-01-2006, 12:52 AM

2005 230k (may 04 euro deliv)

I wanted to create a poll, but I am not sure how to do so......so,

How many miles do you have on your C-class? Specific type of C-class (i.e. C230, 240, 320, 350, coupe, etc)? And problems you have had (i.e. none, few, lots, major, etc.)? I am curious.....Thank you!!!

iriefreek · 07-21-2006, 02:14 PM

2006 C230 Sport - 6,400 miles, squeaky driver's seat but that's about it (knock on wood)

k_lundquist · 07-21-2006, 02:38 PM

2005 C230 - 25,500 miles

No major problems.

On a side note: I never reset trip B in my car since I bought it. Driven almost 26k in like 643 hours. Thats 27 days!! I'd spent like a month of my life in the last year and 3 months just in the car alone.

after car sits for 4hrs or overnight the first start makes a ticking noise for about 3-4 seconds then goes away for the rest of the day... unless it sits for 3hrs or more... going in for service on the 1st of aug. not sure if it is normal

Major Snodgrass · 07-21-2006, 02:50 PM

I have a 2000 220cdi in the UK. It has done 70k. Routine services and consumables only except for a gearbox gasket. Bit pricey at a main dealer.

Damn! I thought I put more miles on mine! I'm pretty sure I got mine before you (8/04), but I have 32,700... I have a 2005.

Lots of problems if you look at my threads... (shaking of the car/CEL as the biggest one) I'm going to have to have the sub panel checked as well b/c it does rattle.
