I have a C230 Sport Kompressor. It is a fantastic car and very well made. Just like a Saab, you have to make sure you keep up to date with the maintenance, no exceptions. There are 2 basic services for this car, Service A -- Change Engine Oil and Filter, Inspect Brake Pads & Discs, Set Tire Pressure, Top off all Fluids, Inspect Exhaust System, Check Operation of Lights & Accessories, Inspect Suspension and Steering Components for $300.00 and Service B AT 24,000 - 48,000 - 72,000 - 96,000 MILES: Same as Service A except they take apart all throttle bits and clean and lubricate them for $600.00. IMO I think a $300.00 oil change is absurd but they will either gave you a brand new MB to drive for the day or have them drop you off at work in a limo. After my warranty is expired I will be seeking a good indy. The C Class is plagued with the same HVAC mixing flap problem as the Saabs but other than that there are no catastrophic failures with these cars, they are pretty bulletproof. My advice is to shop for a Certified Pre-Owned. The MB CPO is excellent.
