Thank you for watching! So glad we was able to help you! #heartwarmed

Thanks for watching! Love to hear your doing your own maintenance! Sounds like your showing it the love it needs and it's treating you well! Hopefully it lasts you many more years to come.

Thanks for watching! Love the care you've put into maintaining yours! I love when the right people buy salvage!

Thanks for watching! That's awesome Mercedes made the wiring already back there!

Must have keyless go

Thanks for watching the video!

Thanks for watching! I can see the fuel economy of the x5 alone pushing you more towards the c class, especially if you didn't need all the extra room of the x5.

How’s the c class going for you any problems with it ?

Thanks for watching! Definitely sounds like you got a great family heirloom!

Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! Definitely got some new videos coming out with some repairs being made! Stay tuned....

Hey thanks for watching the video! I'd definitely start with getting your car scanned by a local mechanic and then going from there. Best of wishes

Thanks for watching! There's nothing like the intensity of a dash light ding 😆

Thanks for watching!

BRuh just get some leather paint on Amazon and fix the seat. The DTRL is like 30 bucks for the pair on Amazon it took me 3 minutes to install 💀

Thanks for watching!

They sell bottom seats on eBay by junkyards from all over the united states

Thanks for watching. I actually did notice that you can buy these seats in sections. If it's in good condition they are not necessarily "cheap" tho so the customer didn't wanna go that route.

Thanks for watching our video!!!!

Thanks for watching. As far as cost of engine /transmission replacement their are lots of variables that come into play. But the economy trim c250 will definitely cost less to replace these bigger ticket items than say a s550 of the same year.

Thank you for watching. Unfortunately unless you have the dealer software you can't view how many times certain dtc/check engine light have been cleared.

Thank you for watching! We are in SW GA. Sounds like you have quite a collection of cars.

Hey thanks for watching the video personally for a daily commuter id get an automatic unless you plan on pulling small trailers frequently. I agree with you on the Mercedes feeling outdated.

@@GhostMafia4 i think i will keep money for something else and i will buy cheap old audi a4 avant for 1000 quid 2.0tdi as daily, i m not fan of auto gearboxes

Thank you for watching!

Thanks for watching the video. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm not aware of any German cars utilizing a fuel cutoff switch like the Fords and other domestic vehicles.

Thank for watching! I'd recommend taking it to your local German Car specialist. But if your trying to d.i.y it. I'd tart with unhinged all the 87 fuel out of it. Then refilling with premium fuel then replacing the spark plugs unless you know they've been replaced already with quality ones in the near past. After that chasing down your misfire to ignition coils and such. Otherwise lower grade fuel shouldn't actually cause any issues to your car from a one time accident. Unless the fuel was contaminated. Hopefully this helps.

Thanks for watching! I'd check other vehichles in your area and see how the one you found compares to it in price/maintenance history/ condition could be a great deal.

Thank you for watching! Keep your fingers crossed because a coolant smell inside the car could be a leaking heater core. And although probably one of the most expensive by nature of repairs if you got your for a great bargain and proceed with the repair it could still be a great car with more peace of mind afterwards. Please let me know what it winds up being and best of wishes!

@@GhostMafia4 I will. I noticed when I had my integra it happened every time I pulled in a drive thru which is a platform or slight incline. The temp gauge increased in the dash. The differences here is I noticed the smell and steam at a drive thru at the bank last night on a similar incline and platform but the temp gauge was normal and did not elevate. That is the finger cross of them just overfilling or maybe even a cap replace from my experience instead of a heater core. Please pray for me and this car!! 🤣 Talk soon with updates!

Thanks for watching! That 'foe' leather doesn't hold up well at all!

Hey thanks for watching! I'd take it to an alignment specialist they should be able to get your right!

Thanks for watching. In our experience the difference in the 4 cylinder turbo and n/a v6 you pay the same for each in the long run. So really it's up to how far / many miles ypur comparing. One you pay more to drive around faster and less mpg the other has more wear items i/e turbo ect.

@@GhostMafia4 That makes sense. So the 4 cylinder is a bit less reliable, but you end up spending the same because it saves you on gas. Thanks for the response. Really wanted a 300 but they're hard to find in low mileage, considering a 250

I wouldn't say less reliable just smaller motor with more wear parts in the same weight vehicle.

Thanks for watching! It's hard for me to compare to VW since any direct injection engine is going to naturally buildup carbon over time however If the engine is happy I've seen them go over 100k miles without major buildup so the answer is if the engine is happy it runs cleaner than if it's unhappy. Things like leaky valve cover/oil pan, bad pcv, vacuum leak, faulty injector, weak turbo ect are all going to accelerate carbon buildup

Thanks for watching the video! Honestly with these cars it's all about big maintenance jobs completed on time engine mounts fluids ect. Best of wishes in your endeavors

I’ll buy it that’s a deal where u see it

Thanks for watching! I'd say given the mileage that car seems like a decent price however things like rubber bushings/ struts ect still wear over time and could need to be addressed to bring the car back to perfect performance.

Thanks for watching the video! As long as there is no exterior damage I'd say it's worth around 10k. Cost of maintenance is largely going to be determined by how hard its driven and how many miles you put on. But overall I'd say a decent buy

Thanks a lot man! I did test drive it today! The engine sounds really quite. It’s acceleration has different sound then all the other cars I have driven. Maybe it’s just how Mercedes are. He said he had aligned the mounting brackets for Engine and transmission. I just found the steering a bit stiff, is it how all Mercedes are? I would roughy be driving 15000 miles yearly

@@jainiksomaiya9692 did u end up getting it?

Get pre purchase inspection. Don’t get scammed like I did.

Thanks for Watching! Great advice !

Thanks for witching! Depending on the condition and price. The 2 door 250 could be a great purchase

Thanks for watching. 10k in good mechanical condition actually dosent sound like to bad of a deal! Best of wishes.

@@GhostMafia4 thanks bro!

Hey thanks for watching! I'd check wilhat the local cars are selling for in your area you may be able to find something in your budget that's better or you'll find out the one your looking at isn't that bad a deal. Best wishes!

Thanks for watching! It does seem that true Mercedes fan's actually enjoy the less technological models, I wonder why that is.

You not wrong bro I have a 2020 a220. I jsut got and It’s so trash feels like a Nissan with Benz logo. But my 204c250 2013 is beautiful I love that car. Real life og sport car design

40k miles is nothing though. Come back at 260k and let is know..

Thank you for watching! Couldn't agree more.

yeah. just change oil every 5k miles for c250

Sounds like a decent car we'll kept and low mileage!

Woman owned Benz the only thing that would scare me but because it’s in Malibu she might keep up with preventative maintenance based off economic status alone max

Thanks for watching. I've found that "women" owned vehichles tend to have more major maintenance done i.e. timing,transmission replacement ect done. Alongside what ypu was saying about the location being in Malibu.

@@yungjetsquee706 I got one for sale 80k miles amg package 10k ur getting played lol. Southern California. Just freshly tinted all the windows. And forgot to mention it’s the coupe version as well.

Thanks for watching! Is the coupe version more valuable than a sedan?

Thanks for watching! Sounds like you've found quite the package deal on your new Mercedes!

@@GhostMafia4 went from a W203 to an 2011 Audi A3 2.0 TDI, the Audi was better than the 203 but the 204 is a way better car than both. No Adblue emissions nonsense either, Not sure if you get the OM651 engine in the US but it’s well proven, Sprinter vans are testament to its durability. I love mine!

Thanks for watching! We've actually been doing quite a few of the 2.0 tdi's recently. I've thought about making a video on it pointing out some if there biggest issues. Not sure if I should tho.

​@@GhostMafia4you should mate! Appreciated

Thank you for your watching hope you enjoyed the video! If well maintained means some major work done with receipts". I'd try and get it for slightly less but yes it seems it could be a decent deal!

Yea. Honestly. If it’s well taken care of. mine is at 92,000 miles and hasn’t given me any problems. Just the usual services, coils and spark plugs

Very nice!

Thanks for watching the video! Hopefully your deal works out!

watch for the timing belt and fuel injector . they start breaking towards 100k miles and the price to fix them is not pretty

Thanks for watching! Your not wrong those 2 parts could completely damage a running engine!

I’m gonna also ask what he’s done to the car like what maintenance he’s done to it recently, if he’s ever had problems anything specific with the car too, cuz I’m really tryna get a good deal and a good car off the street

Theses do not come with a dipstick for the transmission fluid. Less diy friendly than older vehicles.

Thanks for watching! I've got a new Mercedes video dropping next stay tuned you may be surprised!

Thanks for watching! It's crazy they have their own variation of pleather! I'll have to do more research on the durability and special care to help it last longer.

Thanks for watching! I'd check on the engine lights and see what they are if nothing too serious it could be worth it.

so i had this problem with warning lights before on my 2013 c250 as well. and the lights wouldn't go away after the fixes. so i bought a scanner. one of the small ones not super expensive plugged it in and downloaded the app for the scanner, scanned the car and the codes for the lights came up. all i did was overwrite the codes and ta dah no more warning lights! and dont worry if youre car actually does have a problem in the future the car will respond with warning lights, so its not a permanent overwrite.

ALSO the scanner is SUPER helpful in identifying what problems your car might have in detail. so you wont have to waste time in guessing what MIGHT be a problem.

Someone cleared the code and sold this same car to me under the false pretense that everything was on the up and up. I ended up spending another $2000 to fix the problem. Bent sprocket and phaser. Apparently there is a recall for this on all 2013 C class

Thanks for watching! It definitely sounds like it could last you quite awhile congrats on your new purchase!

I’m looking at one similar I found one for $14,000 63k miles 1 owner

2013 50,000 18k? Clean as a whistle inside and out .. is that a cool deal

@@GhostMafia4bro I’m about to buy a Mercedes Benz class C 250 sport in $12,000 do you think is a good deal?

Thanks for watching! It could be a great deal depending on mileage/condition and maintenance history.

Thank you for watching! Love your comment, couldn't agree more. The w204 is a great combination of style, efficiency, and price. Personally I choose the E90 bmw but we'll save that for another video 😆.

And what about the cost of maintenance? Pricey?

@@metalevolve8424 Cheaper than audi and BMW, really cheap for a benz

Thank you for watching the video! It's good your checking the fluids! If your on up there in mileage I'd recommend going ahead and changing the fluid out. These transmissions like fresh fluid.

Thanks for watching! Mainly it was changing some sensors and fluid then recalibration the whole vehicle.

Thank you for watching. Wow! I didnt know this. It definitely was very cool!

Thanks for watching! As a rule of thumb I tell car buyers if you can't buy it twice, you shouldn't buy it. Hopefully, that helps with your desiscion

Thanks for watching! Nice to see some Mercedes owners tastefully modding! Terrible car in ice? From experience? Lol stay safe out there.

@@GhostMafia4 yep

They been had push start in the 2012 models

@@seanbaxter3402 don't remember seeing them on C class

@@GhostMafia4 huge honor definitely a fan of ur content I haven’t created much yet but definitely inspiring

Thank you so much!

BRO NO! SELL THAT SHIT! COME BACK TO THIS COMMENT ONCE IT FUCKS UP!

Thanks for watching! He hadn't bought it yet what makes you have the opinion to "sell" it?

Thanks for watching the video. If my conversion skills are accurate your deal seems to be almost too good to be true! Hopefully it works out for you

Thanks for watching. Depending on the condition and maintenance record it could be a decent deal but I'd make sure the big ticket repairs are already done ✔️

Thanks for watching the video. I beleive AMG Is the best mercedes trim line they offer. So if you were considering buying one id go with that, just for the fact of future value.

@@GhostMafia4 OK, one thing shall I be concered about mechanical problems or not as Im between Volvo and this Merc.. its for my family and I need a reliable car - I have now Volvo V50 for 15 years and never had any issue basically only needs oil and diesel so from this point of view I basically need to avoid a car that breaks down and of course if something goes wrong it’s expensive here in Switzerland- but the good thing is that this Merc is for a good price as anything older than 10 years here nobody wants here but I believe its a beautiful car. Its AMG and also Estate car so my only concers is reliability- you have any experience with this car yourself?? If not reliable I get another Volvo and thats it 🤣🤣👏 thanks man!!

This is one of the biggest questions/situations most people find themselves in and simply put the answer is any car that performs at a higher standard is going to cost more. 4 x 20 year old Honda accord with over 300k miles = the cost of a single 5 year old luxury performance sedan. Only you can decide where/what you most need.

@@GhostMafia4 I know but do you know if its a reliable car? I mean for example we know that Range Rover is not reliabel so what would this Merc be on scale from 1 to 10 ( 10 is super reliable)… thanks man!! Appreciate

Interesting you should mention range rover we have been talking about them in my shop and it's almost as tho certain cars get a reputation. We've actually never seen a range rover with a major mechanical problem. And the electrical problems that they "have" are generally just modules that need replaced and reprogrammed. To answer your question more specifically I'd give the Mercedes a 7 out of 10 as long as you got the AMG model as mentioned. As far as mechanical reliability. If it is in your budget to buy it twice any repairs you may have shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks for watching! Definitely worth the upgrade!

Thanks for watching. Curious what happened with that deal!

c250 owner/mechanic here . 122k is a little after issues start happening with the engine . maybe the 6500 is best due to the common problems that come with the car after so many miles

Thank you for watching and commenting ! My personal opinion only because its higher in mileage without a service history and its the entry level series would be to pass. Due to the higher mileage it may currently be fully functioning but parts and seals are beginning to need to be replaced.

Thank you for watching my video. The vehochoe you asked about dosent seem to be below highest KBB value personally id keep looking but if it has a long service history it could still be a great buy .

I got mine with about 64,000 miles. About 2 years ago. He wanted $18,000 !!! And it has a salvaged title! I took advantage of the fact the title says salvaged and also took him the cash all on hand. !😁 Dude got caught cheating and the wife took it out on the Car 😅 After the test drive and seeing the paper work , I had to have it!! Walked away with my baby for $14,000 Minus the Rims, but this Car Is Deff Something else.

Seizing the moment!

Thank you for watching!! Its amazing how many of the small important things you learn by owning multiple of the same model cars and learn what to look for and what's most important to replace. Sounds like you've definitely got the upper hand when it comes to W204 C250's. Keep on wrenching man!

Thanks for watching! I'd call around and find a decent paint shop in your area.

Thanks for watching! No it did not.

Thanks for watching! I've seen these get over 200k miles woth little to any issues

Thanks for the quick reply! Is anyone seeing 300,000 yet?

Thank you for watching! I haven't seen this generation personally with over 300k but I beleive with proper maintenance they could reach it.

Thanks for watching! We are based out of South GA if the distance isn't to far we'd love to be your mechanic. If we didn't gain a new client hopefully we gained a new subscriber.

If it's below the average selling price of others in your area and dosent show signs of fluid leaking orany other mechanicalflaws , it could definitely be a car that treats you well.

I did :). took advantage of the low market price. 13' mb C250 amg sport plus 87k, it does not have a backup camera or rear window shade however it has a Sport button and active rear dampers. The Sport Plus is an extra tune to the transmission i think since it only has Economy or Sport mode, no comfort mode like the other models i see online. it is a great car! 2-4 less cylinder, 2-4 less to maintain. the engine has a bad reputation, however 10k oil changes seem neglectful. Mercedes has a dual adjustable cams called Camtronic, it like a Vtec feel after every shift on Sport Mode. so far fun to drive, satisfied with the power but the chassis so balanced would be a greater car with 300hp at the wheels. the front of the car is so light. it's a great driver car, the handling is engaging, and steering wheel feel is phenomenal in this trim package. the C250 is well balanced sport sedan. worth it very well sorted car.

Nice! 10k service intervals I feel like is a marketing thing that never gets questioned. Similar to "lifetime" transmission fluids. The one you was able to get would be there highest trim line for the C250 correct?

Honestly not a bad deal it’s never a bad idea to get extended warranty with these cars but for the same money you can get yourself a newer car …

Yeah don’t get extended bro I was in ur situation exactly and got the warranty. They don’t cover much and their hourly technician rate is way lower than what Benz charges

Thanks for watching! Lot of great information in this comment thread!

Thanks for watching! Thisbcar has already had the timing chains done. So another peace of mind for the trip.

Thank you for watching! They are special cars!

@@GhostMafia4 turning 50.000 km 👍soon

Thanks for watching our video! This car for 10k could actually be a great buy if it checks all the boxes!

Thank you for watching! Depending on the area yoyr in that could be a pretty good deal. I'd do some research on others with the same year/mileage.

Thanks for watching the video. Their are generally small differences within the trimlines that help consumers choose what suits them best

@@GhostMafia4 I have a Mercedes C250 sport trim and need a new engine will a non sport engine work

Thanks for watching the video! I believe you are right!

@@GhostMafia4i have a sport model and all my trim is wood it just depends on how the original order specked it out

Thanks For watching the video. Depending on your area that could be a steal of a deal. I would definitely join a Facebook group where others have the same car and you'd be surprised how many of them have meticulously maintained cars that they're selling at a fraction of the cost to buy elsewhere.

13k for 190,000 miles is high

Thank you for watching! It depends on condition and maintenance history

Thank you!

Thank You For watching!!!! So glad you enjoyed the video. I've been contemplating picking up a clk to do a run through on. And after your comment I've got all green lights now!!! Now to marketplace to find one lol.

And faux is pronounced “Foe” or “Fow” lol you cracked me up with the fox lol

Thanks for watching our video!! Your definitely at a higher mileage risk area but hopefully it was maintained well and it'll last you another solid 150k miles

What part of GA are you in?

@@GhostMafia4 Covington

Thanks for watching the video! Do you have more details on what went wrong/mileage?

What happened?

@@Proudmary7 there been mechanical and electrical problems on it since the very beginning. Recently the transmission blew out, and all my services and maintenance was up to date. 170k miles it was within time. Spent over 7k in repairs alone and it still blew out despite the upkeep.

@@cannenmadeit Thanks for the reply. I was looking at this car but I do think I'll pass since it already has high miles.

First off thank you for watching the video! Very good question. Simply put the C63 would be the highest performing c class model. Mainly it's engine size / suspension / transmission configuration that's gonna separate the trim lines.

Thank you for watching! Hopefully I can remember next time!

@@GhostMafia4 love the old mercs. Mechanic has advised w204 is last of limited technology. Newer model too many issues due to tech levels. My old w202 still going strong but gearbox nearly shit itself.
