Multiple design flaws and even more build execution flaws: seats that go back and won't come up, groaning suspension, air vents to the windshield that do nothing but create condensation,poor quality paint, impossibly complex climate controls, even more impossibly complex key to seat setting control requirements................all exceeded by a service department that really doesn't seem to know what they're doing, loaner cars with NO gas and rarely cleaned, blah blah blah. The sales rep (Calvin) was great; he is, unfortunately all too peerless. I'm off to pick up a Lexus GS300; never should have strayed from the proven Japanese brand.
Don't Buy

My wife and I decided to treat ourselves to a MB. Big mistake. C240 was cheapest of the fleet but this car still cost $39,000 and has been nothing but trouble. Constant electrical problems. Car has actually died at stop lights. We were going to start with the C240 and move up to and E- Class. We are now looking at the BMW 5 series.

Overall, I like the car. However, I had to return it to the dealership 7=8 times for various problems (primarily electrical in nature). To the dealerships credit, they addressed all the problems promptly and efficiently. I must reserve final judgment on this car after attaining >100K miles.

I bought my 2001, C320 Elegance, with AMG package in 2008. Was down between it, and a BMW 335i. On paper the BM was faster but on the road I found that it was too clunky, rough not good on pot holes. So, and I couldn't use its power advantage. The Merc was better on the road and has plenty of power. Not many cars beat it from the lights, once one learns how to drive it. I put a lower Bilstein suspension ($2,500 Oz), and it's not as comfortable, but it feels very sure, true and much more like a sports car. But not too uncomfortable, at all. My car was made in South Africa, hence it had some small problems, easily fixed. I replaced the stereo, the air compressor, and now at 180,000km, the roof lining is saging ($600 Oz to replace with after market), plastic draw ($260 for MB new), hood telescopic holders ($300), filter holder ($350), steering oil leak ($380), and other minor things...($300). All above prices are in Australian dollars. But nothing major. Such issues, and many more go on all cars, after 150,000km. In it's AMG form this car looks great and performs very very well. People always comment on how great it looks. And can't believe it was made in 2001. I think that it's a better Merc than some of the newer ones. This is my 4th Merc, and I also grew up with them. And I had number of other brands. This one has proven the best one. Even better than my 88 E300.

Mercedes advertises as a luxury vehicle- they should also advertise as don't give a crap customer service!This car is way overpriced.Have been to several dealerships for warranty work and not one of them has ever done a good job.It's the same thing time after time. When I called Mercedes to complain they said that each dealer is independent and that they have no control!What a load of crap! Toyota,Nissan,Honda care-even BMW.We need to get the word out about Mercedes so people will quit buying and the company will be forced to comply with consumers needs.I tried to trade this car in-even with factory warranty no one wants it.Don't buy Mercedes!
