Just got a 2001 c320 with only 87k miles! It still had the discs for the sat nav maps! I only paid $1900 cause it had that seat control issue, but I just spliced a couple wires and saved the cost of a new control module! The car is fantastic!
I owned a 2006 180 kompressor avant-garde and this car was very good. I went yesterday to the dealership and saw the latest S-Class and honestly, it was absolutely crap! The build quality was really poor, too much plastics in the vehicle, and the finish was awful, paint was really bad. After seeing what I saw yesterday, I don't consider Mercedes Benz a luxury product anymore, especially when I have to compare it with a vehicle that is 20 years older. It's such a shame.
I have a S203 year 2007 C280 (3.0 V6) with 4-Matic. Been through first winter season, it's a beast goes up any hill without a sweat. The second generation of 4-Matic utilized a full-time 4-wheel drive system with three open differentials front, centre and rear. Its not an awd or haldex/Electronic type awd.
I own a 270 of these of 2001. Very reliable, going on 350k Kms with no big issues, but it's very ugly for a Mercedes. I keep it for practicality and fun to drive for such a cheap car. Good power and handling.
Try 2 tap the starter and try again if it works then it would be the starter. If it the relay just replace it or change it with one of the other ones in the engine bay
Still no luck after trying a new battery and new relays the car started for bit then turned off right after I did notice the car was stuck in park and wouldn’t go in to any gears .
I live in South Africa and interested in buying a w203 benz 2006 1.8 or 2.0 low mileage, model with sports package problem is how do I purchase and receive the car and how much does the process cost
I have a w203 from 2000 the only rust problem it had was on the open roof, if you planning to buy one with the open roof option just be careful, also it has 470k km and i have it for now 3 years, no big problems yet, only lights that cost 50 cents each

I have a 203 3.0 CDI, I don't want another car, full stop :)\
I have 2004 cl203 2.2 cdi and the same best car i owned traded it for 2012 Volvo S60
I also drive a W203 Estate. But its interior is more primitive. No Digital display😢
what intrior you have ? and What engien you have ? where are you from ?
Don’t trip we can upgrade our radio and cluster to digital lol
Why does my c230 sport won’t crank , all my light turn on but it won’t crank at all
Maybe the battery, starter, starter relay it depends on what it does like tik when you try to start
I don’t hear the starter at all , I do hear my fuel pump, prime and all the light in my dash turn on
@@lucashelffrich4156I’m going to replace the battery, and starter relay then go from there

actualy the early model 4 cylinders are much better than the facelift 1.8
Agree

take it to local mercedes mechanic before buying
You find the car you want and you buy it dummy. If you can't find it you can't buy it can you.
I have a 2006 c230 135k for sale needs work but engine is good everything else good black interior
What about the 2004 c 180 classic ,1.8 petrol
nice car
I'm pretty sure the models pre 2005 are supposed to have a bit of an issue with rust because of the paint quality they used trying to cut costs.
I hear it has big problems with rust i found one though should i buy it?

@@snggarageeng my 2006 facelift has rust :/ not much but it has, many places
Thinking of buying a 2003 C 180 KOMPRESSOR in good condition with only 90 000 kms (real mileage).
Is it good idea or not ?
Safe some cash and buy 2006/2007
