I purchased my '99 C230 in April of 2003 with 68K miles on it. What a great car. I have had absolutely no problems with this car and now I have 101K miles on it. The W202 C Class is much more reliable than the newer W203 C Class. I know, my wife's '01 C240 has been nothing but problems from day one.

I just bought my 99' C230 Kompressor Sport, black on black. I have a 120 mile round trip commute that I make a couple times a week. I am tired of cars falling apart with routine maintenance and not having any resale value at all. My last three American cars resale value has been abysmal. What a joy it is to drive again. I haven't had this much fun since my 1997 Maxima SE, just now I'm in a much more solid car. Five years old and still turns heads. None of the Mercedes maintenance horrors others predicted. Research the models on edmunds, consumer reports, etc. and you'll see the 99 C Class scores above average in most categories. I'm hooked now!

A Gem of a Car

Bought the certified car with 30K in 2002. I've driven the car 80 miles every day and after 83,000 miles, I have yet to have a single repair bill, except for regular FSS A/B maintenance (every 10K miles). It's W202 body is a classic and the perky 2.8 engine justs adds. The C280 is one of the best cars made in Germany from 1998-2000. Afterwards, the C240, with a lesser 2.6 engine, was launched.

C280 - More Mercedes than Chrysler

Sadly, this will be my last MB for a while. When compared to the new C class, the '99 has been rock solid and reliable. Can't say that for the post 2000 C class. Handles great, good fuel economy, a smart looking, buttoned-up German sport sedan.

This is my second Mercedes. I personally like the classic style better than the newer styles.
