Default Need tips for a used C-class

Hi,

I am looking for a C-class around 2001-2005.
Currently I am thinking about the C230/Kompressor, or C320.
Any one have some advises on it? Major defects, maintenance costs?

Thank you!

In my opinion do not get any kompressor motor. We replace alot of them at our shop. Plain v-6 motors are the best. Best advice i can give is pay the charge [ $100.00 ] and have car checked out by a benz tech / shop before you buy

OK, you have my attention. I was planning to go look at a C230 Kompressor Coupe Monday. What fails on these engines? At what mileage do they typically fail? Is it a matter of maintenance?
