1995 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Elegance review from UK and Ireland
"Outstanding proposition for long term ownership"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing really, at 110,000 miles the first major items have gone (except the usual tyres and servicing stuff), namely catalytic converter, heated rear window switch, and now some ominous white sludge in the radiator:- (
The interior is as new, there is one small spot of rust where a stone ship has corroded - everything else is A1.
General comments?
It's a shame the new ones aren't built to the same quality. I have recently bought a new C270 CDI estate, and its not even a year old, but has been in the garage for knocking noises, vibration, and now worn suspension links.
