"I was in Europe in 2007 and had the C-Class 280-4matic as a rental car in Switzerland. In December. Needless to say it performed incredible, I NEVER before had a car that took any kind of stress away from me with 6 inches of snow on the road!! Wow!! I went back home and said to my wife:" This is my next car". Fulfilled my dream 1 year later- and never regretted. My son is taking over my 2007 280matic with 165,000 miles and guess what: He loves it. So get your hands on this great car. Incredible in rain and snow-unbeievable reliable..."

"Bought a 2006 C230 Sport, solid performance, great styling with classic MB lines. I did a little research and the 2006 model year has less reported problems than other years in the W203 series. The car had relatively low miles for the year 54k. I bought the car from a MB dealer, however it was not "Certified" pre-owned. The price was right and so were my expectations, it is a used car and not perfect but I am very happy with it and I got into it for less than half what a new C300 would have cost. A good first time out in the luxury car market."

"Very good handling, good gas milage, you can hear your watch tick at 90mph. 4-wheel-drive gets you everywhere. There is no better car in this size. I bought a 2006 with 66K miles and have it now 3 month-love, love it."

"What a great car! I bought a 2007 with 60k miles for my daily 150 mile commute and have it now for 18 month. Came to this page here to shop for another one for a friend of mine. The car gives you this unbelievable safety feeling thanks to great breaks, unmatched handling in rain and snow with the all-wheel-drive and the electronic stability program. Not fearing bad weather makes all the difference. I paid $199 for the A service, basically an oil change and a check up. But you only need to do that every 15000 miles. I get 27mpg in average going 70-75mph on the highway. Super silent and responsive engine."

"we wanted a bmw but the dealer had this 280-4matic for a great price of 17k with 55k miles. After test driving in Chicago on winter roads decision was made quickly that this is our car. Have it now for 3 month and we love, love love it. Great performance, extremely good winter car (all-wheel-drive) and boy what a smooth ride. I hope this one lasts us for a long time. Try to get a model with seat heating, this is phenomenal comfortable in cold weather."

"I purchased a 2006 Mercedes from Cars.com. I was really suprised with the cleanliness of the car and how the owner was fair with his pricing. This is my first time buying a car on line. The best part was the car was located within 1:30 drive from my house. It was worth the drive. We are very satisfied with the car and the price we paid."

"I am not a big fan of used cars, But couldnt afford a New MB.So looked up in Cars.com and saw a MB EXACTLY as per my requirment.Usually Pictures are deceptive, specially in Used cars, but still took a chance , as I thought I would loose only a couple of hundreds if I dont like the MB(had to drive from Atlanta to Chicago]When I saw my MB it was even better than in Pictures.It drove wonderfully.I have it now for over Three months, and I am very happy, that I got this car."
