Jun 18, 2020 · The grand cherokee uses a trans called the nag 1 and it's a chrysler produced Mercedes w580a5 (later runs a a6) so the starter actually fits between a jeep and Mercedes with the same trans most commonly the larger sedans and the suv's (don't remember it exactly but I think the 580 was the number) then certain brands barrow stuff from others.

Feb 10, 2021 · Eyeing a C300 2017 cabriolet. Did a test drive, Still certified pre owned with only 28K miles. I love the fact that an entry level luxury convertible like this has all the bells and whistles. But is Mercedes a reliable brand ? Will this dive …

May 2, 2019 · The C300, however, lacks the sportiness of the Giulia even though the Giulia is just as quiet and smooth riding as the C300. The Giulia, however, lacks the sophisticated interior of the C300 even though it's still good, just not as good as the C300. Well wait... the Giulia has better (real) leather seats.

Has a N/A V6 and it is RWD so it’s a lot simpler mechanically than the C300 with 4matic. Hasn’t had any electrical issues at all in those 6 years. The automatic transmission on her car sucks though. Nowhere near as responsive as a ZF 8-speed if you want a sporty commute. Maybe Mercedes fixed those problems in later models though.

Apr 24, 2024 · A W204 C300, or a W211 E350 would probably do you fine. Dont get an S class unless you are fully prepared to spend on the maintainence.

Feb 19, 2015 · I have a 2009 C300. It's right under 100K miles now, and I've had it since around 40K. Apart from normal maintenance and wear items, the only problems I've had with it are: Temperamental CD player when used with discs of MP3s. Every few weeks it just says the disc is unreadable, but works fine later on. Rear defroster causes static on the FM radio.

Sep 11, 2016 · As a life long Mercedes Benz owner who is old enough to be your grandfather, buy a Mercedes, but just not this one; the price is way off. With 57,000 miles it is out of factory warranty and with all the electronics on this car, it is not a DIY Sunday afternoon under the shade tree kinda car to fix. What you should get is a mid to late 80s diesel.

Dec 2, 2020 · I’m a new driver. Should I buy a new Mazda3 sedan with 187 horsepower at around $22K or a used 2018-2020 Mercedes c300 at around the same price with about 20-30K miles? My concern with the c300 is the potential maintenance. I was thinking of leasing, but that doesn’t seem to offer a lot of value. I’d prob drive 200 miles a week. Thanks!

Jun 3, 2020 · W205s are quite solid. The 2.0L 4-cyl turbo is a very reliable platform. Many examples of the C300 from 2015 (which was the most unreliable year due to wrist pin failures) are easily making it to 100K+ miles. Just change your oil regularly and monitor the car for preventative maintenance and it will treat you well.
