There are a thousand and one other options

500km journey isn't the reason to get worked up over choice of vehicle..even beat up Santanas and Peugeot 504s can do 500km without sweating much

The person above me has given you correct advice as per your stated choice of c230k...Go for the c320 and avoid those Kompressor Mercs.

Very few people will be ready to dissipate energy advising you on an endless list of cars that if in good condition and so maintained, can do even 2000km at a stretch without coughing..


You have gotten your Mercedes advise..Take it and move ..Don't start another fanboy war here

Your input is highly appreciated. I'm going to get the c320 non compressor. Thanks once more.

No. Definitely not a C230K anyway. Go with a C320 instead if you must.

Thanks for your entry.
Just as I've said earlier, I'm open to suggestions for other vehicles as well. I need something rugged that can handle my kind of usage.

Good day bosses in the house.
I need some advice please. I wan to purchase a car and I am stuck with a lot of options. The car would be used to travel about 500km maybe once in every three month. The rest is regular driving withing the town. I have MB C230 Kompressor in mind. I would love to know the reliability of the car and also the cost of maintaining the car. I am also open to suggestions for other cars as well that would be a good fit for me.
