Nice car, durable engine, never dies.
Be careful with your cooling system, radiator, fan and thermostat. Use coolant and not water, moderate fuel consumption, extra durable.

Check for rust.
I used on with the same engine, till I was involved in an accident, you will never regret buying that car.

I know a dude using this c200 for bolt. It's 1.8L engine, very economical. I like this car too

I no too dey like old cars anymore..but it's nice car

It's a good car

Am currently using this exact type of engine, fuel economy is good, the engine is a die hard engine, suspension parts are not too pricey if it's not 4matic.
It's good for long journey and more fuel economical on highway.
Recommended oil is Mobil oil.
I use Mobil regular engine oil(7lts).
4yrs now, no engine issue, no oil shortage and no smoking.

Very economical, parts are cheap but hard to get original parts, just don't buy an abused one.
When I was involved in an accident, that was when I knew how strong this car was, believe me, if it were to be a Japanese car, hmmmmm..... I reserve my comment.

Very quick to mention Japanese car, op never asked to compare reliability and safety with a Japanese, you just pulled up to show you are "benz" geng. Why not talk about others, like Chinese gac or American Ford or just stick with "it is very reliable and safe"?

We thank God for your life but if God says that you will survive an accident, even if you are in Keke, you will still survive. Moreover, don't compare c class with corolla, that should be A class. Compare c class with lexus IS series
