Depends on the usage. Some 100k miles are in better shape than some with 50k miles. No rush, ask the owner for the car history and changed parts, also do thorough inspection to find the parts that might be getting worn out and would need replacement. Drive the car on highway and within town and pay attention to irregular noise, squeaks and sounds, lights and electronics, AC strength etc. If you want to drive it twice to be sure, do it There should be a guide on 100k miles service online so back it up with research and the carfax service history. Lastly, price accordingly. Good luck



Thanks bro.

2007 c320 ECU issues?

The car starts and stop after a few seconds, high speed engine fan, not starting at all sometimes. The scan revealed car is not communicating with the ecu. Different car readers brought but no way.

The Rewire said he would only buy the ecu with same part number and reprogram the stuff with machine.

The mechanic said that is impossible that we would have to buy the ECU, EIS and the key and replace those parts in the vehicle to make the car work again

What do you think guys?

Gentlemen, I have been thinking of procuring an '08 C300 and would appreciate advice on what to expect in terms of maintenance and fuel consumption. Before now I've only driven Japanese (Corolla, Camry). I have in mind the 2012 Camry as well, but it is too large for my tastes. I prefer a compact car.

I mainly drive within the city, but I travel interstate three or four times a year. Is the C300 suitable for journeying? Is it reliable in the long term (considering it's already a 14 years old car at least)? How thirsty is it? What parts most commonly need replacing and what do they cost? These are some of the things that I wonder about.

Can anyone say?

the older these cars get the more they become a money pit.

1-Drive shaft flex disc cracked / Replace

2-Cylinder head Oil leak in back & torque bolts

3-ABS Modulator clogged by dirty oil.

4-( EIS )Electronic ignition switch / Replace

5-Electronic Steering interlock switch / replace

6-Cam gear shaft & adjustor ,Selonoid/ replace

7-Belt tensioner/ replace

8-Brake disc & pads/ replace

9- Power Windows regulator

The Eis lock is the most common. Your tire must always be straight anytime you pack. You can also fix it and remove it completely


However these are things I copied online. Since I have Mercedes, the only thing I've fixed is new O2 sensor, camshaft sensor and mass air flow. We know sensor's fail in cars offer after years etc. I have never experienced Eis lock, even when my tire was slightly turned. And also, you will suffer if the road is not good, it has damaged my engine cover, and sand protector twice.

Dude he is giving you links and I am talking to you as a driver , also know that what you are driving is a V6 engine that weighs a ton! That SUV is a thank !

Don't ask clowns about cars ask those that own the car randomly! Get a first hand experience...it's an SUV and don't think you are going for some small 1.4 engine .. dude that ride is a monster and it commands respect! It's a 3.2 engine and 12 fūcking plugs but not noisy , it's quiet!

ML is a good SUV, remember you aren't buying a highlander or that one they call baby ọkụ ! You are driving a Benz !

Remember the best or nothing...of you can't handle it...abeg go buy honda Babyboy or bulldog! Spend the better of your money repairing pulled legs or go get a Toyota and be ringing the engine every 2 yrs

Dude it's left for you....Benz isn't a car for kids but it's a car that when you drive it, you would find it hard to drive Japanese ! I own one and this isn't my first Benz !

It's a good ride ! I drive it ! It has great features ! The entertainment systems awesome, great buttons , nice climate controls
