The w202 is an absolute legend.Especially this generation is one of the most reliable cars of all time.We have a w202 c240 for 13 years! in 13 years this car didn't even break once.Can is on 400.000 kilometers but its starting and running smootly even if its under 0 degrees.

I'm proud owner of a C230 Kompressor (manual transmission). It's a rare machine in my country, Malaysia. Eight years owning it and I haven't found another C230K manual here. Built like a tank in every aspect. It will be my car for many years to come. Most likely not gonna sell it. A keeper.

2 hours ago My W202 remains solid after 23 years. I couldn't ask for a stronger or cheaper car to drive. Last week I used it like a truck to haul 800 kilos of sod, tools, and construction materials. This week it's cleaned up, shinny, and will be ready to haul people around. I still get complements on it, but I've kept up the maintenance. With 256,000 miles on my 1998 C230 Sport, non-Kompressor, my only regret is not getting the optional passenger power seat. Repairs, tires, belts, hoses, and maintenance cost around $600 a year, give or take. I got 13 years out of the original battery, and 10 years out of the second. It's a California car, still looks great, no rust, I treated the paint with a ceramic coating, and I perform all of the routine maintenance on it. I'm told by my independent Mercedes mechanic that it's the last of the "forever" Mercedes, whatever that means. Complaints: Not worth a damn in snow.

I'm in Zimbabwe the w202 is respected it's un breakable

I am driving my dad's car now - 1994 C200 Diesel, manual. It's almost 30 years old with nearly 300 thousand km (around 170 thousand miles), no issues. Amazing 😮

Thanks for the info, my mind is truly blown. I've had my 1999 C230 Kompresser for 3 years now and had no idea the tape player was built into the radio this way 🤯lol THANK YOU TRULY!!

This car is a real keeper My dad had one when I was a kid but we lost it, sadly I can’t get over it💔 Mostly sad that I never got to drive it 💔

One of my favourite Mercedes-Benz models. Also a proud owner of a w202, mine is a 1994 C200 Diesel, after 27 years and 1 334 000 Kms still going strong.

Mercedes benz w202 is one heck of a car.Reliable as a family car.A common car here in Albania.I never owned one of these,but I love them!

I have a 1999 C280 Sport model in silver with black interior. It is fantastick to drive still after 20 years and 130,000 miles.

have a 1999 C230K with 246,000 miles on it, original water pump and thermostat, supercharger, still going strong.

The last classic benz

Proud owner of a W202 year 1998 C180 with 267.000 kilometers on it's shoulders and still strong.

i'm still owned C 180 1995 Manual Grey Blue. masterpiece. proud to drive that master piece

*Всем владельцам MERCEDES здравия и благополучия ! Были W201, W140, третий год на W124(2.0, ручка, pierburg, самоблок). Я заглянул в Вечность !*

I bought this exact car in white with a carbon fiber interior(mehh wood grain looks good) 108k miles, all for $2,500! Insanely great car for the age! I was born in 2000 and this car is older than me and that’s pretty cool! It’s got it’s quiets but overall I can still gap a few cars here and there and I added a tint and it definitely helps to make it look much more sport! P.S the emblems made me a Mercedes fan 🤙😩

the w202 is very special to me. We had a w202 C240 AMG since i was 5. was the first car I learnt to drive in and the first car i owned when it was transferred to my name. still runs perfectly today.

I wish I could go back in time and walk into Mercedes dealership

Absolutely love ur videos, keep up the good work.

The battery on my 2000 C230K lasted 20 years! Idid not open the hood for 14years. Amazing car!

Handy little tip - to turn the light in the trunk off you pull the grey sensor that sticks down and it clicks and the light turns off

I have always wanted this car.

Thanks for the in-depth walk around. I've been thinking about buying one of these for a new daily driver. Much appreciated.

My father had every c class till the 2008 Model. He had the previous one in black. Interestingly he had this Model the w202 basically twice. For some years as the pre facelift Model in blue with the same as shown in this video. And as the next one he had the one shown in the video. With the same color. So i grew up with this car and itll always have a special place in my heart. I love it. We drove all the way to Morocco with those. No issues

Finally I was able to get my hands on a 2000 with 46k mi. It is super fun to drive a car from this era. Everything is intact in mine and still has that new car smell. I just need to learn more about these beauties

I own a 1998 C250 TURBODIESEL with the manual trans and in wagon bodystyle The exterior is one of a million shades of blue that were available, the interior is black cloth with a cool pattern and walnut wood trim like yours Great car, 400k km and no major service done

I'm driving w202 right now in 2022

Lovely restoration.

best c class ever,had a c180 manual transmission,went like a dream

I’ve just spent £995 and brought a ‘99 C Class W202 with a 12 month MOT to do a charity run from the UK across France and Spain into Morocco in North Africa. Through the Atlas Mountains, across the Western Sahara desert, Mauritania, Senegal and finally ending up in The Gambia where the car will be auctioned and the proceeds given to local children’s charities. Needless to say I chose my car wisely. This 23 year old car may have a few dings and localised rust spots on the front wings but it has passed every MOT since electronic records began in 2006 without any advisories. It’s previous owners have kept on top of maintenance and with 83,000 miles on the odometer the car still drives and looks like new inside - everything still works as it should. She still has ice cold air conditioning, cruise control, central locking and electric windows all working as they should. An amazing testament to the build quality of these cars.

Great video. I had a Metallic silver 1997 C200 W202 for 15 years with great reliability that may be as good as W123. I only upgrade it when a good offer came about with a new E200 W212.

Excellent video good command on all features.

I loved my 96 c280, that engine was awesome… MB before Chrysler, company hasn’t been the same since that mess. Back when they had nice interiors as well.

His younger bro w203 was also a big big succesor! Proud to have one

I'm just watching this video because I'm in Armenia and there are tons of old mercedes c classes driving around. A lot of the taxi drivers uses W202 c classes, some are kind of beat up but it's really impressive that all these taxies are first generation C classes from 1993-2000. The means all these cabs are between 22 and 29 years old. I remember when the C class first came out we looked down on it like some light, dinky mercedes but nowadays I'm really impressed, these things have really held up. They're very tough, long lasting cars. Interesting not many of the c class cabs here are diesel, in fact I haven't seen any diesel mercedes, only the vans and trucks. I think it might be that diesels are hard to start in the cold. Anyway, yeah the C class was a worth successor to the 190E, these cars are tanks. They're really excellent cars. I by the way drive a 2006 E 320 CDI. It blows me away, it's like have a 440 Hemi it has so much torque, I keep getting in drag races with V8 cars and it can lay down. I'll also say mercedes are better cars then BMW's. BMW's are great but they don't have the industrial level of design that Mercedes has, I would much rather have a automatic. I can just control the power and hold onto the steering wheel and focus on controlling the car. Shifting gets tiring, I enjoy how comfortable and smooth my mercedes is, and a torque converter is better and last longer.

What a great car! The last of the real ones!

The Dislike is from BMW owner 😂

Yo tuve el C230 W202 Classic año 1998 TRASMISIÓN MANUAL sin Kompressor. Lo extraño 😔, pero ahora quiero un Clase E W210 💪, espero en este año pueda comprarlo. Saludos desde Guanajuato México 🇲🇽🇲🇽

I have a 2000 model year C43 AMG in burgundy. Only 25 imported into the US that year and only 1 in burgundy.

Got a c230 44k garaged for 23 years. 2.200£ absolutely delighted with it usually w124 my steer

I have a C220 with 70k miles, still runs strong and it's been a great car

Looking forward to soon own one InshAllah 🙏🏾

proud owner of a C180 Elegance in Greece.This car is absolutely legendary.It has 323K kilometers and it's still goin without any problem

looks great with the shiny wheels on!

My first car, Just like that slk but 6speed 200 kompressor, So good! and my new car the w202 1998, Love it!

I own a 99' c230k thats been lowered, supercharger pulley is changed, aftermarket intercooler, aftermarket locking/unlocking rear-end....it was built to drift/race. I've had that little i4 to 155mph. (It would have hit 160, but was shaking so much I had to let off lol) I love it and it will never be sold. (I've had it for almost 7 years now with no problems except the ignition)

One think you dont mention about the key and the front doors handles. They have infrared sensors on them. If you put your key near the sensor and hold the lock button the windows and sunroof close. You can also lower with the open button. For that age that was something.

Nice video, it's all true, I have a 99 C240 in Brazil and it is just hapiness with it!

I need this car pls...absolutely mint!!!

Grandma has had two of these W202's. A 2000 C280 in silver like this one, and, A 2000 C240 Kompressor in tan.

Older Mercedes and BMWs were built worth a damn, the 2017 W205 I leased (new) was a total POS, the engine threw a rod with less than 50,000 miles on the odometer and despite it being a leased car, MB corporate threw a hissy fit over having to pay the dealership 15,000EURO to replace the engine (the block was damaged when the rod ejected through the hood). That was the first and last Mercedes I will ever lease/own. MB customer service is horrendous.

My C230 Kompressor is silver, has black interior with “Carbon Fiber-ish” patterns where the wood is white gauge clusters and black and gray seats.Oh but I’m missing the amazing cup holder. They’re so unbelievably hard to find.

I think 202 had the best front end look in a C Class. Quality wise, 203 feels feels nicer to drive. Better suspension, more engaging steering, better quality interior and more useful functionalities. I've had the C250 TD manual (202) and C270 (203) manual.

can i know how can you make the trunk fully open once it unlock? Did u put any additional spring on it?

Good video. I totally agree and bought myself a 1998 C180 Classic. Bog standard, yet with a steel (!) sunroof and the orginal Becker radio. Old M-Bs are better engineered than any other make and I have tried many (Audi, Jaguar, BMW, Volvo, Peugeot, Chrysler, Alfa, etc.). Yet my C70 Coupe beats it with regards to rust and the 5 cilinder in the Volvo is one of a kind. I'm not sure which car I prefer, that's why I have both :-).

I need this class

That's a beautiful car 😍

I have a 2003 SLK320 and a 2005 C230 (W203), I would love a W202.

can i ask what this car went for? I have been trying to figure out fair market value for one with low miles, so i dont over pay lol

I have the c230k with over 300k on the clock..still going strong

Is this C230 by any chance still available for sale?

What can cause 202 to break an exhoust cam and what could be the possible damage

very very beautifull , i love the wheels !!! and that semi orange headlamps in the corners ,( i think was Usa Specs ) anybody can give me the reference of that two things ??

awesome car

The w202 is good but in my opinion the w204 is the best. No rust, no issues.

Nice looking car, how can get something this good

my first merc was a W202. TIll 2020 when a Holden rear ended me. :( great cars still miss mine

This is my holy grail one day is one day

I run a 1998 Mercedes C220 CDI turbodiesel with a 5-speed automatic as my daily driver. 367.000 km and still going strong. Very easy to drive as it's pretty narrow (1.72 m wide) and the engine has good torque (300 NM). Great fuel economy too (5,7 liter/100 km). But it also has got some major disadvantages : it rusts terribly, seats are uncomfortable, AC system is unreliable and the steering is too light and devoid of feel.

Hello, is it still available?

So nice

Pls can we arrange for one unit of c class 230 kompressor to be shipped to Nigeria??

Please is this car still available

How much do you want for the SLK?😮😮😮

My first car is a c180 1997 elegance model, my grandpa gave it to me since he can't drive anymore because of his poor vision and his age (84 years old), so i took it before 2-3 months with 114.000 km and now i am somewhere at 115.200 i think, I LOVE IT, it is just powerful and beautiful. Fun fact everyone loves it. I am 18 years old and everyone is telling how lucky i am cuz i got a nice car 😂. I want to keep it for as long as it can last ! It is amazing car

Please 🙏🙏🙏 is dis car still available?

I handed my 2000 C230 Kompressor down to my son at 133,000 miles. I had purchased it from the original owner in 2017 (garage kept) in GREAT shape. My son has continued to keep it in pristine condition with still under 150K miles. Other than routine maintenance, synthetic oil ever 8K miles and a set of tires it hasn't needed much other than some trim replacement and just replaced an ignition coil. Next up - new headliner that's been creeping loose and of course replacing the broken POS center cup holder. Anyone know of a better solution/mod for the center cup holder?

I have a W201 "original C-class that was not a c-class yet", from 1991, starts up first time everytime, 500k Km with it's 75hp diesel engine, the only thing wrong with it are it's 30Y.O plastics, costs less that 500€ year in maintenance

You still could see true Mercedes cues on the design that dissapeared with the next gen

It's still on sale? Thanks

The best ever!!! Very strong

Do you have it in estate

Have you sold it yet?

Do you still have it for sale

I’m quite found of my w203 !

So this model doesn't have heated seats?

I’m from Maryland as well Bud

I’m sure it’s been sold already, right?

It is the best, no doubt about it.

My name is Mark and I drive a silver W202 aswell. It's the best!

Those wheels!!

W202👍💪

I'm still driving my w202
