This Wonderful over engineered car has had a couple of faults listed below.
1) Very squeaky windows at the front
2) Scratches all down the windows now
3) Major tick-over problems
4) Heavily scratches window at front
5) Alarm not always working correctly.
Wonderful, high quality, classy.
All of the above describe this car.
When I decided to buy this car I was told by the garage that every time I get behind the wheel of this car I will smile, and guess what they were not lying.
I love to climb in and be cosseted by all the wonderful touches, the wood and the big Mercedes badge at the end of the bonnet.
The big plus with this car is its power, it is very powerful considering the size and the economy is not bad either when driven in economy mode.
I have a C200 and agree that it is a great car and I too smile when I'm behind the wheel. I would be interested to hear more regarding the alarm problems as I too have had intermittent problems.
Yes I have a C280 which is a great car, but as noted the front windows are scratched by the door lock waterproofing rubber covers. the window runners need to be greased at the rear to prevent the 'Screeching. The big pest is the alarm which at the most inappropriate times will not unset correctly sometimes leaving you stuck for some minutes.
Yes I agree with all the comments above. I have a C200 Elegance Automatic Transmission 1996 which is the best car I've ever had.
Yes the front windows (especially the right one) are scratched, but you can prevent it by spraying the door-lock waterproofing rubber cover with 'STP Son of A Gun' once a month.
The battery of the alarm must be replaced once every 6 months to avoid problems.
I use the MOBIL 1 oil and changed it every 10,000km and the engines run smoothly.
It is very quiet inside the car and very comfortable too.
The fuel consumption is considered economy to the power that we get from this car.
