Hello, all! This is my first post ever on the forum. It's been about four years since I owned a MB that ran - my last one was basically a yard ornament. With that one gone, I've been having MB withdrawal's - do you call them MBW's? or is that too close to bmw? Anyway, now I am in the market for a like-new, dependable car. Looked at Toyotas and VW's, but these are just too plain-jane for me. I prefer the glitzy star on the hood.

I'm seriously looking at a 2001 C320 with almost 40K miles on it. VIN # WDBRF64J41F074661.
What I like most about it are:
Styling - rounded headlights and triangular tail lights.
Interior - tan w/ wood
Priced nice

Previous cars have all been 70's & 80's models, so 2001 will be quite a step for me. Do the 2001 C320's have any problems I should be aware of? Any red flags to look for?

Thanks for any help you can provide!!

Yeah, but what color is her hair?

 

Wow - that is amazing! Is that "carfax"? The newer models have some unexpected features - sensored wipers and auto dipping mirror - that sounds nice.

Thanks Sleepwalker!!
