What do you think of a 2004 Mercedes C240. I heard the engines are pretty reliable. It has the 2.6 v6 with an auto tranny. 100,000 miles on it and the owners took good care of it. Thank you!
I would pass on it, especially if it will be a daily driver. We don’t recommend buying German vehicles, only lease them (albeit will have to be newer), especially one at that age and higher mileage (100,000 miles). The thing about German vehicles is it’s not just the powertrain you need to focus on but all the electronics on board. It’s a matter of time before they act up or go haywire on you, and then good luck getting it fixed - for complex problems you will have to take to a special shop that works on those vehicles or the dealer and they will charge an arm and a leg.
I would certainly pass.
That is a no go.
