I agree I have a 210 e350 4matic and a 11 C300 4matic...They are amazing cars!

the facelift is my "attainable" dream car. hopefully I can buy one as my daily driver in a year or 2/3

I bought a 2013 W204 facelift as my first car and it’s pretty reliable!

@@leosanta-ana4997 which engine it has?

@@karzem1 C250 model, so the 1.8L turbo in-line 4!

@@leosanta-ana4997 it’s a good car, what do you think about the c350 model reliability , it’s a 6 cylinder 2008, I am projecting to buy one but I am concerned about their reliability!

Damn you have my dream car! Literally the reason i got a coupe c250. Was told the c350 engine is unreliable and i wanted the coupe so i got the 4 banger lol

Thanks man

If I wanna check by Mercedes dealer will they charge me? I had c300 2011

They shouldn't be charging for the inspection because it is a warranty claim.

So my 2013 Mercedes c250 can get the back bumper subframe changed out from warranty?

@@Runitup2k Yes that is the case with the W204 if your rear subframe is corroded.

Got my c250 amg sport 6 months ago and love it like the day i got it! Congrats!

@@mitchio83 i was looking at a c250 sport 2012, hows reliability and gas been on yours?

@@natea.lockheart4501 Bad, currently about 22 MPG. Ive got to take it in to a shop. Ive got a problem with either air/fuel mixture or spark plugs/coil packs, although mine has been heavily modified with a custom/BMS intake, diverter valve, large intercooler, exhaust, etc..

I'm thinking ab getting one of these for my first car this summer it's looking really tempting

I got one as my first car. You wont be dissappointed!

I am going to buy on this summer Is it still worthy guys did anyone of you buy one of these

I bought my 2012 C300 Sport package in 2014 with 20,000 miles. Now have 97,000 miles. Overall great car. Have had to replace brake pads/rotors, heater fan motor, steering lock failed (very common) worst thing is the rear subframe rusted out. Expensive to fix but just recently, MBUSA is covering the subframe under warranty. Oh, and the cheap leatherette interior was a letdown. The seat bottoms come apart at the seams. I replaced them for about $350. The car is sure footed on the road, rides great, handles great. My daughter drives it now and loves it.

What year is your car and miles ?

@@jeff346 2008, been driving it for 3yrs now, i love the car alot, you cant compare benz to any other car.. I repaired the transmission, got one year guarantee, it got faulty again in less than 1yr.. Mileage is 130,000 km

I just bought a Face-Lifted ( 2014 ) Sport Sedan 4Matic. Should I be worried about the Transmission, or is that issue for the Pre-face lift version ?

@@1970borntorun how’s it going for you?

So avoid the face lift c300? Currently in my plans to buy one in the next couple months with no more than 80k miles on it.

C350?

Wen buying second c250 was still novice I wish I brought the V6 engine but that's my next car or bmw 335d!

2010

LGND that sounds exactly like my car lol. I don’t know where to get the option sheets because mb gave me them with the car. I have a 2014 c350 4matic with 94k miles.

23dunmc I’ll be looking at same year as yours coming weeks

@@23dunmc how’s that car going for you??? Cost of ownership?

@@bobespnza-la7030 just sold the car last month for 16,000 to the dealership. Traded it in for a 2017 glc 43. Very little cost of maintenance on the c350. I loved that car. Nothing broke at all.

@@23dunmc I found one of Carvana with all service records on CARFAX . All done at its respected MB dealership too. It’s priced at $16k and have ~47k miles. Thinking about it. 2014 C350 sedan. Fully loaded

same

I saw a 1950's SL with the same foot brake and hand release. To me it makes it special to know it's still the same. A car with tradition and a history

@@SavedbyHim love the foot handbrake in my w210. Wish more cars had it.

fr?

@@Fractal_blip Only cars with the flux capacitor package suffer from that issue

And the steering lock

@@irvxing That is correct, I totally forgot about that one. I did however order a replacement....just have yet to install it. Hopefully I beat that disaster.

@@imarcus1973 2014 C350 fall in that category?

Mercedes don't make wheels or tyres

@@SavedbyHim i never claimed they did

Know exactly what you talking about… Display always reminds you to check tire pressure 😂😂

@@dr_bre dude… it’s so annoying when you’re in a hurry and the display shows you that your pressures are down (AGAIN!). Changed my tires and i still get the message on the same one lol. I’m sure it’s something to do with my rims but it’s an expensive fix for now

@@madoba8717 as a German i know that we get overboard sometimes with accuracy with things we create or do.😂🤌🏾.. the car just wants to perform at it’s best and the sensor is way too sensitive ( is your car empty/ is it loaded/ hot or warm temperatures??!) but you can imagine that a tiny loss of pressure ( which always happens) want or shouldn’t put you in a life threatening position. My guess is to find a way to block that tire sensor, instead of changing your wheel setup… in my case, I just don’t care about the tire pressure pop up on my display. Thanks for your response Mado BA

CDI , taxi engine

Get the engine number & check that it doesn't fit in the range of the early m272's with balance shaft failures. That's one of the biggest if not the biggest thing to look out for along with the history of the tranny services.

How about a 2011

Why avoid the C250?

The c200 cdi after 2009 is unreliable

Why avoid c250?

Why avoid the c-250? Answer the gadamn question! 😫

Guys I got a 2014 Mercedes c250. Beautiful car excellent on gas and a great credit builder for a 40k car now worth 13k at around 60,000 miles. Only problem is the throttle response and turbo lag. If your willing to spend an extra 600-1000$ & buy performance parts you wouldn’t know your driving a 4 cylinder!!! Happy I bought the car.

Good luck on that shit box

Any problems yet?

@@Steven_Will I’m fr following this post. Let us know Jeff. No hate we’re just implementing our opinions.

@@PuffPuffPlay You’re taking out of your ass, the C300 has the M276 engine shared with the C350. It’s one of Mercedes’ most reliable engines and is considered bulletproof with the right maintenance

@@n52gremlin15 they are not considered bulletproof, they are. Everything on a Mercedes will go long before the engine. There is a reason why in Europe the taxi they use are Mercedes.

If anyone decides to buy ask if the adjusters and high pressure fuel pump was replaced this is a common problem in the 2013 c250s

video gonna be too long , too much problems to cover

SupraGamingHD got a 2009 c300 1300000 miles still runnng great

@@neftalireyes4517 1.3 million miles?

Why are you going to a Mercedes dealership for repairs when any mechanic that works on European cars will do the work for less then half the price, and they will do a much better job

@@Fatkidlovecake Not so easy, I’m afraid. As per my long experience in the automotive market, at least in Spain and I’m 72 years old, these kind of cars cannot repaired by any mechanic, and good skilled mechanics are really missing. Most of them, merely try to solve the problem by changing parts and “guessing”….. because they lack the specific tools to attend serious issues of modern cars. At least, when repairing at MB workshops I get the confidence that any of their workshops, even in other country, will attend warranty repairs. Two weeks ago, being in France, a MB service attended me at cero cost to diagnose and solve a problem with the Becker gps malfunction which was previously badly updated by another MB service in Spain 3 months ago. However, this MB car is a nightmare and being my only experience with MB I will not repeat this brand for my next car. I still miss all the Audis I had at full satisfaction during my working life, and a Volvo as well……. By the way, MB still is having problems on water pumps in new C models. See their web for recalls at these days. Huge problems.

@@joanm.2987 what ever helps you sleep at night knowing you could have spent $300 to fix an issue at any other mechanic shop vs a MB dealership. I have 2 Benz one old 2002 c200 komoressor import from Japan and a 2009 c300. You are just so wrong with all due respect there are so many mechanic who work on Merced and do a better job because they care more then the mb mechanics. My fuel pump on my c200 just the pump alone they gave me no options but an imported pump was $700 just for pump and $300 labour the labour is 15 minutes 🤣🤣. Its right under the back seat. You are not driving a Tesla you don't have to go to the manufacturer and pay up the ass for basic work. Even a simple oil change is 189.99-220 vs 120 at my mechanic. You are a sucker and don't know anything about cars or Mercedes if you are not getting your car fixed from Vladimir or mark from Poland

@@joanm.2987 Instead of paying $1000-1200 I paid 250 for a new pump and paid my mechanic 30 minutes of labour I ended up paying $300. Every single piece of work done is insured by warranty and the shop. You do nothing for yourself going to the mb dealership. Take my advice learn from someone who works on cars for a living. Although I don't specialize in Merced they are not much different and are sometime as easy as Lego for example my c200 is the easiest car to work on and can take almost any c200 w203 part from 2000-2006. Mercedes knows this but gave me no options. Every single time I go to mb for a quote I take the information to my mechanic have him laugh and how much of a scam the price is and to do the same work for half the quote. Merced charge you for every second you breath inside there shop I swear . My water pump, thermostat replacement and flushing was quoted at $1500 I paid $700

Someone don’t no how to take care of a car 😂😂😂 either that or it was a piece of junk when you bought it

@@MMKYT1 All Benz, BMW, and Audi are Junks beyond 200k Km. Repairs cost is way too much unlike regular Toyota, Honda, and Mazda that barely break in at 200k km.

Mazda lmao!!!
