I'm looking at this 2000 C230 with 91K miles on it. Car looks nice and the price seems to be good. I would like to know if this is a good car to buy from your experience.

What are the common malfunctions of this model/year?
What should I check for when looking at this car?

Any info is appreciated.

P.S. I never owned a Mercedes before.

 

With that particular model it seems that transmission and electrical issues are the main problems. As for recalls, I haven't been able to find any on the C-Class or the C230, which is probably good. 91k seems alright, how much are they asking for it?

 

They are asking $7500. It's a dealer and the car had 2 previous owners. I only seen it in pictures but it looks very nice. I might make an effort and go see it in person but it's raining today so it's going to be hard to inspect.
