1997 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C-280 review from North America
"Perfect"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My fan clutch failed at 43,000 miles -it cost $100 to replace.
The oxygen sensor failed at 49,000 miles - it cost about $75.00 to replace.
General comments?
I am pleased with this car. It is roomy for it's size. It is not a sports car, but it handles well. I would recommend this car to anyone.
