Beautiful car![8D]

From reading, some owners with that model year have problems involving electronics. Buying the extended warranty was wise, if expensive.
Enjoy!

congrats on ur purchase!
2001 model is the first year model after a facelift from W202 to W203.
therefore, 2001 C-Class tends to have most problems...
if you encounter any problems, have the dealer fix it while you have the warranty.
