Hi all, I am looking at a mercedes C200 kompressor I own a BMW M5 but have had enough of the problems inherent with such a powerful car, just replacd the gearbox and just about had it with the costs. Looking to buy a brand new merc with the best warranty available, any advice?

welcome to the site!!

what year M5 do you have?

 

2000 m5 individual, it really is a beautiful and very powerful car just cant keep spending the money so I am going to go for a new merc any advice? I like the fire red with beige leather interior.What are the warranty options like from a merc dealer? Are the cars reliable? Will

Dont know if it works but here she's gotta go :-(

 

come on guys I know it is not one of the great mercs but somebody must have some idea's regarding reliability etc?

 

Obviously not - I am having serious second thoughts now, if this board is as good as the M5 board then I need to be concerned.

The new Mercs should be just fine, especially with the warrantee you get. A lot less maintainance then Bemmers too. That is why I bought one. If you can afford one, look at the new 3.5 motot as an option. No blower to break and lots of power.

 

C200 is ideal for lady drivers.

get a bigger engine HP.

 

Not really power concience at the moment - after an e39 M5 - not much in my budget would get near it anyway - just want a smart reliable motor.
