2013 C350 RWD, AMG Performance and Handling package.

2013 C350 RWD, AMG Performance and Handling package. 108,000 miles. Bought this car in '16 with 40,000 Miles. It continues to serve me well. The one major problem has been an anti-theft ignition switch that only the dealer can fix. Cost 2k to fix. This is the only repaired I've needed. I have had all scheduled maintenance done, Runs quite well, and still has great performance. Handling is the best.

Got a 2012 250 Sport and I knew I was going to put $$$

Got a 2012 250 Sport and I knew I was going to put $$$ into it. Nothing earth shattering but I was the 4th owner and if you look at ANY USED Euro-car owned in America- these cars many times are not taken care of, wrong oil, wrong octane. The parts for this car are not that expensive and if you find a good mechanic that is not a $$$$$$ Dealership TECHNICIAN BUT that said- it is a smart idea to take it to a dealership and pay the money for a complete inspection. if the seller will allow it,..., if not- move on unless you love surprise after surprise. I am almost finished with mine, got it for $8000, put in $4000 into fixing codes, brakes, oil cooling system, and a rear SAM module that went bad only because someone did a poor repair and I tell anyone,...., KNOW YOUR ENEMY!(your Benz of course! LOL!) If you do the maintenance and you have your car in good repair, you will not have that much problem and will enjoy this road monster for YEARS. I get 25 to 30+ MPG easily around town and if straight Hwy driving- 35mpg+ on ECONO-Mode and it always turns heads. The dark Cobalt Blue is a Mercedes Iconic color and the 2012 was a turning point to where they are pretty highly looked for, just look at the coupes in the early 2000s and you'll see why. But the style of this coupe is found in every Mercedes after, no matter the model coupe. I plan to keep it for years, I take care of issues when they happen- you cannot afford to let one thing after another add up- if you do you'll wish you bought a VW BUG and that goes for almost any fine Euro-Automobile. Just make sure it is a Stuttgart car- it's on the VIN badge in the door well. If you enjoy a tight, controlled (hardly if any over steering), smooth cruising coupe, this is your car and at the price of High test, the 30+mpg is a good thing. the front tires are sized smaller than the rear, I would recommend uni-directional- only way to go! Once you hit the RPM stages and the Turbo picks up, you just fall into a great dream- no one who has ridden in my car wants to get out! LOL!!!! Seats are still like new firm after 14 years, Interior wood-like panels are in-expensive and very easy to replace as well. The steering is SOLID- you feel like you can drive anywhere on any surface, and the sound system is superb. 5disc CD and all the other perks that a car a lot more would cost,..., this one has. Tires can be crazy $$$$ but shop online- there are great online companies that will beat out your local tire places, I got the set of 4 for this 250C online for $238 delivered to my mechanic with Free Shipping just 6 weeks ago- May2024! So shop around on everything- with a good mechanic you can afford a great iconic German car too! Be good!

Good versatile car

This model is a good choice because it has blind spot and lane warnings. It is not as luxurious, quiet or fast as my M-B 280 which was totalled or I would still be driving it. I appreciate the safety features on this C-250 and recommend this model for those reasons.

Great and Reliable Mercedes

Awesome car to own and since owning the car With the exception of two covered recall items, this car is awesome. I follow the maintenance schedule and baby it so no dents or scratches. I constantly get comments about how “pretty” the car is because of the color and the styling is pretty similar to the new C and E class. I would def. recommend the C Class and am a very happy customer with not only the car, but also the nice buying experience I had at the Mercedes dealer in Fife WA (Larson Mercedes Benz). Close to 79 thousand miles and still going strong.

Most reliable car ever!

This car is the best very reliable great ride great on gas. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology! On my fist 500+ mile trip, I averaged 32.9 mpg. If you're looking for a luxury sedan put this one on your short list to test drive. I recommend it!

There's a reason so many of these are still around

The 2013 C 300, which the dealer called a 'cream puff', is anything but. It's got plenty of power. It's responsive and agile... and comfortable too. It'll be a classic. There's a reason you see so many of these C 300s around, and you'll be seeing them around in years to come, for the same reason--it's built.
