First Episode of SunnySide Auto Car Reviews, David takes out a 2003 Mercedes-Benz C240. Is it truly worth how cheap it was bought for? Follow us on IG: @DesertOctane @Doctor.Cyanide @CaribbeanViking
I own a c240, I think its a great car. In fact its pretty much been the only car out of many I've driven thats stood the test of time and my crazy track racing driving! It's outlasted my 2010 ram twice now.
Perfect rating. Three Stars - Mercedes economy package. However it can become a maintaining issue with scheduled repairs. V6 V Block 2.6L. The perfect size for its power and drive train. No major coolant issues, or integration liquid issues. It can get electronically funky - but on most models that’s the maintenance of the Benz. It’s prestigious compartment takes a detailed TLC from its owner.
Still comfy and driving fine with normal maintenance. The LCD screen in the center of the gauge cluster is still out (likely to always be the first thing to die due to age) but that's getting replaced soon. - David (@doctor.cyanide)
@@DesertOctane It's $75.00 on Amazon and it take exactly 12 minutes to replace from pulling the cluster out to replace to install the cluster back. It's really a non event maintenance item for this car. I have a 2002 C240 that I've had since brand new, now has 240k on it without a major issue at all. Do all my own maintenance on it as well; but I did have to replace the info screen because it was flickering and annoying the shit out of me.
Originally they were stock 16s, but I got a set of those black wheels (OEM M-Benz) that were sold to me by a friend - rim size is 18 and I put on 235/40 R18 tires all around. Speedometer is probably off by 2mph at all times but not too serious. - David (@doctor.cyanide)

Just got one less then a year ago! Thinking of it just being a winter beater. But now I love the car
Rams don’t last
You compared it to a shitty American made car. Lol
