Mercedes-Benz C200 1998: Buying tips
The W202 C-Class is generally a very good car and well worth considering as a used car buy if you appreciate driving a nice car. In my view used Mercedes-Benzs make good buying, but you have to understand that they too break down like any other car, and they can be more expensive to repair. The main thing is to find a Mercedes- Benz specialist to work on the car, that way it won't cost you an arm and a leg for servicing or repairs. Same as it is when buying any used car, low kays are always better than big miles and a service history is essential. A later model Japanese car may well be cheaper to run, but it won't be nearly as enjoyable to drive.
