Amazing Car

This car is a dream to drive. It's a small car with a powerful engine, and you can feel the power as it accelerates. At the same time it's solid and balanced, and handles like a sports car. The stereo speakers are also awesome.

Beautiful, strong, reliable, safe, compact and co.

I bought this car used and it was my very first car. Even though it wasn’t a new car it was very strong and easy maneuvering, very compact and I was able to park where most cars cant, absolutely pretty and 100% reliable, never had any problems!

Should have bought the 2004+

I bought this car used from a non-Mercedes dealer. The car is impressive only because it can drive very smoothly and give good performance even with broken springs, shocks, warn out & wrong spark plugs and a very loose tire-rod. The only thing I can fault Mercedes for is the body rusting issue. Mercedes got cheap on this year and previous W203 cars but they did improve with the update model in 2004+. In my car I ca see future electric and rust problems and because of this I will not even upgrade the radio in my W203...it's just not worth it. The interior is amazing and almost everything still work in the car....surprisingly the sunroof DOES NOT LEAK. Oh! One more thing, this model has an HVAC lever issue and if it happens to you (like it happened to me) it's a 10 hour labor job. The part that breaks is a control arm so deep in the car major item s must be removed to access this $50 part. Your steering wheel, the entire dashboard and par of the safety wall. bar has to be removed. It's not worth me fixing mine because the car has some age...I guess Mercedes has two faults in this car.

Good Car for Reasonable Price**

This car is a good running car. In fair condition. Black exterior and all black leather interior. This car has taken me where I have needed to go. I started with 101, 000 miles on it and it is now at 142,810 miles. Since I have had it this car has been running like a champ with some changes done to it. Other than that it is a good car for a reasonable price tag.

the Mercedes c230 2003 manual and was very spaces for a little small car and had lots of space for 4 people even though it was only a 2 door car it was amazing and had a truck that opened very wide you could fit anything from food sofa that i got inside it one time and a futon ,the car was so big in the trunk you could fit anything from couches and sleepers to tents tables and even DJ equipment with big speaker and fold-able seats ,very nice car ,super fast with a turbocharged engine which is a kompressor i say a must have car the only thing mine didn't have electric seats or heated seats but it was sweet , and spaces better than mustangs but in the winter if its only rear it needs sand bags and good tires

Served me for 7 years

It's a very nice little car with prestige. Can keep up with the big ones on speed. Very reliable. Inexpensive to maintain.

Nice luxury car with decent mileage

Bought this 2003 benz cj240 its a great deal and runs smooth. Lots of up keep and care required but worth the money. Uses preimum fuel and synthetic oil but worth the good quality.
