w202's are one of the best vehicles you can purchase. Will last forever. Not sure with the c180 tho as we don't have those in the states. A c230 or c230 kompressor are amazing cars, also any w202 AMG. Love to watch your new build.

I had a 94 C180, kinda last long is i could say, been using it as a daily driver for 6 years straight with minimal service. Planning to do a restoration next time. So far its my fav car since for the past 5 years i got used to it so much that i liked the handling of it compared to the W210s

I was given a 1998 C230 for free from someone who couldn’t figure out why it would die, I boosted it when it got towed and it started right away. 307 808km and all it needed was an alternator.

I had a 95 C180 for many many years, when i sold it i had 1,366,000klms on the odometer. Engine and trans were still untouched original, it was dead set bullet proof. F***en spectacular car. The WDB build (German) were perfect, the South African built cars were junk.

Mercedes W202 is basically an affordable reliable car which never has big issues but there is always something. The maintenance is low, like the other pre 2000 Mercedes models.

#1 reason why you should buy the W202... in the beginning he stated ItT MaY nEeEd a NeW EngInE.... at the end was all but a simple, quick, no fuss fix that did not require mercedes STAR/programming at the end.

I daily drive one and it's the best car I've ever owned. These cars have a problem when the coil boots start to wear out that it will shut down a cylinder if it continuously misfires

Nice 202! They are really perfect daily cars for city traffic. I have a w202 daily in Melbourne as well and it surprises me how good the car actually runs. I even took it to the snow no dramas. Who knows we might bump into each other when i spot another low 202.

I've had my 99 supercharged w202 for 7 years and the only problem it's ever had is the ignition. It has one of those big plastic BS keys and when you go to crank it, you have to really push in hard while you turn. It's left blisters on my fingers in parking lots when I daily drove it

@christopherhaynes8101 10 ай бұрын

also im looking to buy one with a misfire on cyl6 . usually its a spark plug, or the actual wires and annoyingly you have to get OEM wires or get a new/used/refurbish ecu. for some reason the coils are well made but the actual wiring is just funky

@clownman08569 9 ай бұрын

just bought one of these for 1300$ runs amazing and its in amazing condition considering its a 1997 kinda like this one. 152k miles on it, 3 owners (including me), and im using it as a daily driver roughly 50 miles a day. just wondering of anyone thinks i fucked up buying this car?? cause at the moment i could see this car running me way over 200,000 the way it runs. thanks for any input

@clownman08569 7 ай бұрын

So far at roughly 60,000 miles I replace the spark plugs and coil packs after running into a chugging problem at red lights. Ran good for a few weeks and then all of a sudden started dying randomly while driving. Replace the crank sensor and since then been good.!

Hi dude, not an English speaker, could you please tell me what is misfire when we're talking bout cars? Have a great day

@Farhad_ZKD 14 күн бұрын

@@waanderful A "misfire" happens when one or more of the engine's cylinders fail to ignite the air-fuel mixture at the right time. This can cause the engine to run rough, lose power, or shake. Common causes of a misfire include faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, fuel injectors, or a problem with the engine's air-fuel mixture.
