Looking to buy 1996 C200
 

Hi guys..

I'm a newbie from Indonesia.
I realize that there are many different variants accross the continents, but I think the difference should not be too far.

Anyway, here's my situation. I'm planning to buy 1996/1997 C200 Elegance here in Jakarta. Doesnt matter whether it's an auto or manual tranny.

Now..can any1 here give ur own opinion abt this model? Could you share ur experiences?

Which parts need extra attention when purchasing the car?

How reliable is the car?

I hope i can get enough info b4 purchasing it.

Thanks guys

I am from America. We dont have the C200 but we have the W202 like you have except with differnt engines. From my ownership experience it has been hell with this car. I have 5 cars and none are as much as my C280(Same as c200 just differnt motor). Its a money pit and cant wait to replace it next year some time. I would say go with an E Class. The W202 is just been a bad bad car for me. I have owned it 2 years and 10,000 miles and have put about $3,000 into it and it still drives like junk. good luck.
