it will definite do tooling around town
excellent style. esp like the rear parking lens covers. the raised hood emblem should have never been taken off in later models. good accel/pick up for lane changes and hurry up modes. will not replace the 1972 4.5 I once owned but it will definitely do for running errands in town. Will test short trips (maybe and iffy) later. good car.

Second Mercedes owned, this is a project.
Car was to be recycled. I had one before (C220) and this was a Kompressor C230. I've always the sedan's styling so I got it cheap. Taking me a while to diagnose the problems but I'm gaining lots of knowledge of this fabled saloon and when complete it will be mine for my lifetime.

Bang for your buck.
I've driven and owned a number of vehicles. It's(c230 Kompressor) not the fastest, prettiest, best riding, most powerful, or most exciting, but overall it's a very good car. Handles nicely, has good pep with the supercharger boost, yet is also comfortable, smooth, and civilized when driven so. Surprising amount of creature comforts that many new cars don't even have. Plenty of room to seat 4 comfortably. Trunk space is decent and the seats fold down . Despite common belief, maintenance isn't as crazy as some make out. Especially if you do your own car work, it's no more expensive to maintain than other vehicles. In 2 years of ownership it's never left me stranded. The biggest con that I've experienced thus far was winter driving. All other vehicles handled adequately with all season tires, this had me buy my first ever set of snow tires. That being said, once those were fit, it drives excellently in the snow.

Great Handling
Prone to electrical problems as they age. The window, sunroof A/C , heat all wiit working. They wanted $600-$900 to diag and repair so I donated it to a youth pastor and bought a brand new Ford. I figured as long as I was spending $300 plus in repairs each month I might as well make pmts on a new car. I've owned 5 Mercedes pretty 1996 cars are the best. They are more dependable and less prone to electrical problems.

1 HECK OF A 1ST CAR
I bought myself a C280 for 500 USD that was beat up when i was 15. I saved up a lot of money getting paid under the table and did everything i could to fix it until i sold it to help pay bills. This was fun to drive, my 2nd best owned to current and worth money to invest time and effort. I loved it and will own one again.

I love my 2000 c-230!!
I have put 560,000 miles on my 2000 Mercedes Benz c-230 Kompressor. It still runs like the day I bought her. Keep up the maintenance and get things fixed when they break and you too can get as many miles as I have on my little baby. After all those miles would you believe that the air-conditioning has never had a problem. Choose Mercedes-Benz or choose nothing.

Keeps needing repairs
This car is nice to look at. If you have lots of money to keep making repairs to the vehicle this is the one for you. I love the car but it sits in the garage more than it?s on the road

Mercedes C-230 The BEST Economical car!!!
After 17 years we sold this car. It is the ONLY CAR never left us. The most reliable car we ever had. We liked it so much that we bought another Brand New one Mercedes C-300. We sold the car well over the retail value, because of the condition we had it. The new owner is very happy with the Mercedes C-230. EXCELLENT CAR = EXCELLENT VALUE
