So, I'm asking the owners, because we did really like our first impression of the car. Even the previous generation C class had much better reviews on the same sites than this generation. I know that the older Benzes, like the pre-91 S class, 300E, and 190 were incredibly reliable cars. We went home and did some research, and I'm a bit surprised at how many people on KBB and Edmunds have had major (expensive) repairs on these cars with relatively low miles. Not a big deal, but neither my 2004 Dodge with 86k nor her 2002 Saturn with almost 100k has ever done that. We drove it, and it seems nice (it's a Mercedes, after all), but when we changed places so she could drive, the inside door pull came loose from the door in my hand. We hadn't initially been looking at this car - it was parked next to the one we intended to see, but that car turned out to not be very nice. It seems very nice, but I'm concerned about the reliability of these cars. Asking price is right at blue book value. This company would do another waste of tax payer dollars.So, my wife and I are looking at a 2003 C230 Kompressor (sedan), verified one owner, 30k miles, and a southern car it's whole life. Need to be fired and company shut down for not protecting customers like government promised us. Definitely not doing their jobs of protecting customers rights on these lemon cars sold to public. All this only proves Mercedes only cares about money and not customers anymore and they think they aren't going to be held to responsibility in these defective products or part replacing needing to be recalled by Automotive Customer Affairs Bureau is supposed to hold these car companies responsible. Try to turn setting of AC back on and now AC system has failed and cost me around $1500 to replace and refill AC system. Three months later its summer time again. The transmission has problems and in the winter I set the owner manual setting to keep windows defrosted in winter time and now magnetic AC compressor has electronic shorted out and failed after setting this user setting Mercedes publishes in owner manual. I can't hold Mercedes or Fresno dealership responsible selling a lemon of a car. So now after buying this lemon car have no recourse since I didn't pay $60,000 on a loan from dealership. Once Fresno dealership knew they wouldn't have to fix the recalled product and lose the money lost to fix and time it would cost Mercedes to change defective recalled part for free. Put car up for auction to used dealer from Sacramento, Ca. Knowing and sitting on this car with known transmission and engine defects. As soon as this case was settled the dealership in Fresno, Ca. Thank you for settling class action lawsuit out of court order and before a ruling by a judge. Screwed all and any other customers who were affected by this part and settled out of court before judge made a recall on these cars and now affected customers are screwed to ever take this defective product in court again. But the idiots who were suing for this defective part recall. A year later I'm finding out a Mercedes dealer sale on this car for five years while investigation and lawsuit was in process on the transmission defects that cost customers anywhere from $6000-$8000 to repair defective part. I thought purchasing this car would be a good choice. Promised and fighting to survive over decades to prove my case. I test drove and being a disabled war veteran who fought for years to get the back pay rightfully owed to me by government. I bought a used 07 c230 for $9000 cash last year. We have rights to make change in these companies who rob us. We're tired of getting screwed in trusting these companies who rob us with cheaper products who end up being defective and their choices have consequences for misleading customers and robbing customers. Without us these companies are nothing without customers. Robbed of hard working money that we earn not them. Prices might be higher but worth not getting. They forget customers can destroy these elite and big companies by joining forces and taking a stand and stop purchasing all their products and taking our business to smaller companies. They wouldn't have anything without us as customers and when companies choose money over customers.
