I don't know why so many people scream about how this car is non-reliable. Yes, this is a pre-facelift model, which has rust, electrionics and some other problems, but w203 in general post-facelift is a very solid car. Just buy 2004-2007 ones, and you would have to look for the same things that you would be looking on a toyota or any other car you are buying.
Absolutely true.vry rock solid and reliable car..I don't know why this model year is underrated. In Nigeria the C200 C180 are superb reliable cars.And very efficient
I got mine used and the people that had did not take care of it at all so I have a alot to fix in mine including getting new seats because mine are seriously ripped
hey I understand that the car is clean and beautiful that's great but I really really want to know how to program it because I believe my 2004 C230 is not programmed the and I'm talking about on the dashboard and the light is dim and it's hard to see so I need to bring up the light and then figure out what to do I know the buttons on the steering wheel does programming but I don't want to mess it up please please please please help me your video is quite thorough but it's not helping me and what I need and if you could do another one on the dashboard information and how to program it step-by-step that would be amazing cuz no one has it out there
Selling a 2004 c230 kompressor manual, interior needs some work, exterior needs some work but the engine is in great condition, six speed manual with a new clutch, message me if interested
@@SmokeAlarm-rg7wn hi I just bought mine today as my first car ever bc I need it for college. The engine is louder than my mom's Nissan... Is that normal? I know very little about cars. Everything else seems to be fine though.
My c180 kompressor died on me last week. Fuck me was that a nice piece of a car. But the maintenance costs are too high for an old car like that (2002). I bought the facelift model (2004) ;)
@@pwnster14 we are talking about the facelift model right? Yearly maintenance costs are between 300-500€ (new brakes, brake tubes, light bulbs, oil change, etc). Since these models are getting pretty old they need a lot of care like transmission flushing, my gears didn’t shift fluently anymore. New seals around the oil pan since oil was leaking out and new air tubes. So this year I spent a little more.
@@pwnster14 wow 57k km is like brand new considering the age of the car 😂 any chance u get to test drive it? I bought mine for ~3k with 90k km, Avantgarde model. Give it a proper test drive, try driving it at low speed 15-30 km/h and feel/listen if the car vibrates or anything. Mine used to drift to the right side at first. I had to adjust the car wheel alignment.
Don't buy this car, or any Mercedes car Mercedes is not a trusty car it's only good for 5 to 6 years and to fix the car it can go up to 800$ 900$ just to fix ONE part But you can get some parts for a cheap if you look good! But cheap parts in Mercedes car is a Horrible choice. Yeah so if it looks nice ITS NOT to not buy this car. Trust me we had to work with this car For 5 years and it was just horrible we had to get it fix like every time! But don't worry If you look good I guess on the we'd or go to Mercedes it's self TIP: don't Buy used ones IF YOU do buy used ones good luck
My dad has one. He’s going to give it to me when I turn 16 can’t wait!!!
Agustin Landeros nice how long till your 16?

Why does a c230 have a supercharged inline 4?! Isn't it supposed to be a V6?
2005-2007 is a 2.5L V6.

Put some fuel in your cars man it's bad for the fuel pump
scruffy mcscruff It's not his lol
Why is he talking like a robot?
LMAO!
The title is wrong... it's not a 230 (V6), it's a 230 Kompressor (R4).
that’s not sport and comfort mode it’s standard mode and weather mode
It has no gas,

IF YOU do buy used ones good luck
Also don't Buy 2006 one either
@Jackson Whitlow
transmission problem ,limps mode, it will not shift

It needs new Solenoids Valves
No fluid change needed or resetting check engine light,it won’t fix anything
@@vongtaing6059 those are once in a while problem though
