I purchased a 2000 C280 Sport about a year ago with only 53,000 miles on it. I fell in love with it and that iswhy I bought it, but after about a month or so of ownership I started to hate more and more. Not too many mechanical issues(fuel sending unit about $400) at local shop. I personally do not like the way it drives on the highway. The interior feels cheap and looks cheap and it is loud on the inside and the noise is bad also. I kick myself for buying it. I would recommend a W203 C Class 2001-2007 or a W210 E Class. better build quality and they look better.

 

99 c280 sport good choice
