Used Mercedes-Benz C-Class for sale near Ashton-Sandy Spring, MD

I purchased a Honda from this dealership in October. Based on my experience with 1st Choice Auto, I'd rate their communication 5/5 and the condition of the vehicle that I purchased from them 3.5/5, for a total of 4/5 stars. The pros: they answer calls promptly and courteously. They work with out-of-state buyers (i.e., I was permitted to send a mobile mechanic to check out the vehicle for a pre-purchase inspection, and I was allowed to put down a $500 non-refundable deposit to reserve the vehicle). They provided an itemized list and total of all costs over the phone and by email, and offered to handle the DMV/MVA paperwork for me. The mechanic noted that the windshield wipers needed to be replaced, and the dealership took care of that for me at my request. The cons: their listings claim that, "All safety recalls performed prior to vehicle pickup." That was not, in fact, the case with my vehicle. I arrived at the dealership more than three business days after placing my deposit. They offered to take it to a Honda dealership for me to get the recall resolved, but it was too late and inconvenient at that stage to do so (an acquaintance drove me a bit under 2 hours to reach the dealership as I did not have my own car, and I didn't want to impose on them any further by returning at a later date). Furthermore, while the car did pass both Virginia's state inspection and my home state's inspection, I ended up paying an additional $600+ for repairs. My advice is to mentally tack on an additional 10% to 15% to the total purchase price to land at a realistic amount you'll end up paying, and don't expect the vehicle to be 100% as you drive off the lot with it. If you find yourself considering a vehicle at the upper end of your budget, be sure to inspect the vehicle first and revise your offer accordingly.

I am still driving this car after 11 years. I spent about $2200 on average per year to fix or replace this thing. Still drives good, far more expensive that I would like it to be.

Didn’t buy from them but the sales rep was responsive and knowledgeable. The price on the car seemed fair.

Most reliable and usefull car I've had as a daily driver. Everything in the interior is placed where it should be found functionally. Power, while not a muscle car, is more than adequate. Gas mileage is excellent. Adjusting from Comfort to Sport make a very noticeable impact on the driving experience from gear shifting to steering...

Amazing experience at the dealership. We are thrilled to have our vehicle. Kevin Garcia was amazing from the first interaction to the keys hand off. Highly recommended!!

Absolutely love it, loaded with features including self parking. Sports car with different drive modes and yet luxury comfortable. So far not a single issue, very reliable. Highly recommend.

I recently had my vehicle serviced. Dakari Merrill was my service advisor. It was just happenstance that I asked him about the A service. I met him a year ago and was so pleased about his guidance and recommendations. So I just happened to ask him this time without realizing it was him. I was so excited that I chose him out of the other service consultants that morning. He exemplifies the service provided by this dealership associated with Mercedes-Benz vehicles. The top notch reputation and service you expect from Mercedes-Benz delivers every time. I strongly recommend asking for Dakari Merrill as your service advisor when having your vehicle serviced. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides guidance about your service requirements. He exceeded my expectations each time. I’ve had my service at Mercedes-Benz of Annapolis in the past. I’m so glad I chose Koons of Catonsville instead of the Annapolis center. Great job Dakari!!!! Clearly a 5 star evaluation.

Carmax is by far the best company that will go the extra mile to help you reach your Hope's and dreams and they did. Thank you.

I love my 300C with the AMG Package. You get a much sportier look and drive. The car rides very comfortably in Comfort Plus but you can put it in Sports Plus and it becomes a whole different car. It feels like the car stiffens up and the Torque is immediately right there. Also, the AMG Package comes with great brakes! At this price point, you're going to hear a slight wind noise at higher speeds and the back seats don't have a lot of legroom. But, as an entry-level Mercedes, this is the best Mercedes for value in my opinion.

Refreshing ! I brought a SL550 Benz , worked with Mason best experience from a car dealership I had to date, from the first day I called to last day out the door with the car . They waited on me and for me & I appreciate that highly recommended. Shot out to Haas & Chris! Sending all friend & fam. Mr & Mrs Mark F.

While getting groceries out of my car, My trunk came down on my head (C-300, 2017). Sometimes trunk opens after I lock the car. This is dangerous. What is the problem?

The sales associate I working with was great, very accommodating as I had children with me. It was a bit difficult because they were renovating at the time I was there and they usually have a kids area. I?m sure it will be a little easier when everything is finished. The only slow part was actually signing the papers for the vehicle purchase because the business office was behind and what was originally predicted to me to take one hour took almost 2.5 hours.

It’s my 12th Mercedes, this one by far is the best. My salesman Barry Martin always takes great care with me. The C Class technology is unbelievable

Comfortable vehicle. Gas mileage is good and I use premium. No major issues thus far and anything that has happened like battery was covered under warranty.

Phenomenal experience working with Jimmy Moore and his team. They were all very patient answering all of my questions helping me make an informed decision. Each Team Member I worked with articulated the value of Mercedes-Benz and me as a customer. I 'm very happy with my purchase, the service I received and my overall experience.

I am buying a used car after 8 years, and this was great experience. No haggle is what I care. I was not forced to buy GAP insurance or anything else. The only complaint is, the lady taking down payment at the cashier was hesitant to tell me the details of the transactions before making a payment and showing attitude, but everyone else was great. I highly recommend this carmax.

Went from a Sahara Jeep Wrangler to this beauty & i Don’t regret it one bit. Amazing interior & exterior quality. Very clean & comfortable. I love it.

Excellent service. Friendly, efficient and effective. Service representative Sean Bonner was very knowledgeable and quite helpful. Scheduling and obtaining a loaner was easy. Work was done well and on time, even though it was necessary to order parts.

Yulila was super friendly and helpful. She didn’t pressure us and gave us great info. Super happy with our purchase

2008 C300...We've had the car since November 2019...purchased it with 36k miles or so(?), but either way, it's not December 2023 & we're just about to turn 70k miles. The overall body style is still in vogue IMO, & unless you know these cars, you'd never know it's an '08 model. We had some sort of "issue" with the plugs or coils(?), but no other mechanical issues. Obviously you don't want a Benz d'ship fixing the car unlesss $$$ is no issue. The repair was not any higher than any other model car. A few cosmetic issues that aren't worth the mention...2 or 3 of the directional louvers for the air/heat don't work...to direct the air flow though, it's just a matter of using a pen or s/thing to push them over a wee bit. Again, nothing to bark about. The glovebox has SOME sort of a broken part in it, where if you open it w/o holding on to it, it kind of "pops" off the track or s/thing. We keep it locked, & know when it's opened, to just hold on to it. Again, no real issue per say. The two rails on the top of the car that have these small "pop up" portions where you could I guess mount a luggage rack to the top has had the clear coat peel off. It looked HORRIFIC, but I simply purchased some 3M vinyl pieces (made for the car) & covered both sides for I think it was maybe $35 or so(?). I did that just 3 weeks ago. Lastly, the wheel center caps have peeled or w/ever & looked like the dickens. Again, don't even THINK about getting so-called "GENUINE" OEM caps (what a joke!)...I got 4 caps online off Ebay for maybe $18 or so. You can choose any of the designs & colors, & they're IDENTICAL to the so-called "GENUINE" stuff, SMH. The car is spirited...great get up & go...handles like a sports car...great visibility with no real blind spots, & the interior is in just as good condition as the exterior. There may be nicer ones out there, but this car is GORGEOUS & doesn't show it's age at all. Oh...I had the blower motor replaced 2 wks ago. Need I tell you, do NOT get Benz to fix it, ORRRRRRRR get the part from them! I bought both the blower motor AND the resistor from carparts.com for $110 & Benz wanted to charge me over $300(?) for the blower motor itself! LOL...what a joke. Ha, I had a Craigslist mobile mechanic replace 'em both for $120. I could have sent the blower motor back for a refund, as I only needed the resistor but I told the mechanic, "Hey, while you're right there, go ahead & replace the blower motor too".

Real professionalism! Bought our new Telluride and had the best experience at Fairfax Kia. Flo in Finance went above and beyond in explaining everything we were signing and made us feel so welcomed. Our salesperson was so knowledgeable and showed us all the features these new cars have. We are super elated!

AWESOME DEALERSHIP AND STAFF❣️ GREAT SELECTIONS 2 CHOOSE FROM🚘🚙 THANK U 4 MY NEW SUV🚙🤍💃🏽🥳🎉

The confort and luxury speaks for it self. Nice and confortable ride. The car has the speed that I need. I’m in love gain !!!

We had a great experience at Koons and got an excellent deal on our new car. Would highly recommend!

It was a great experience buying mt car at the dealership. The look and features of the car is what attracted me to it. Donte is a great salesman, he is very knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and show me how to use all the features that the car has.

The website was accurate and the employees were helpful. I found exactly what I was looking for.

Let me start with the c300 4MATIC is amazing has enough power to feel it and does good on gas I’ve owned mine since 2020 and have aftermarket parts on it and hasn’t gave me a not one big issue love this car 🫶

I've had only great experiences at Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria. I bought a used 2012 GLK from Michael Prati, who was able to find me the perfect match within my price range. He talked me through every step of the way and was always transparent and reasonable. Every time I've returned the service has been helpful and pleasurable! Michael gets back to me with any question I have and is always willing to assist me. Highly recommend.

Elaina our salesperson was wonderful. Responded quickly to all of our phone calls with questions. Organized and completed all the documents so when we drove from MA to MD most of the paperwork was done . The car was exactly as described and ready for us to take home after we signed the documents. Dorit in the finance department was also pleasant to work with. Overall, a great experience with pleasant helpful people guiding us along the way. We love the car and recommend Mercedes Benz of Silver Spring MD. Happy customers!

It was a pleasure to be a customer at Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria. I have worked with and bought from different automobile dealerships over 20 years. I informed my sales manager, Mike Prati, who was AMG certified what I wanted from a car. He was the FIRST auto dealership manager who listened when I told him exactly what I wanted my car. Mr. Prati knew more about Mercedes than I could have read in magazines, Car Werk, Edmunds, YouTube etc. He explained the different variables of each model with and pros and cons. He directed me to the E class 450 sedan for a test drive. I personally could not have found the car without his background and experience. I bought the Mercedes pre-owned and certified. What made the dealership a phenomenal experience was how everyone listened and were respectful. Often, customers are talked to which happened at another dealership I walked out of two weeks prior. The goal: sell you something you don’t want. Not at the Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria. Later, I required work on the car. In lieu of calling the Service department I contacted Mike Prati. Who does that? I did. He immediately sent a tow truck, introduced me to a service assistant and I sat back as arrangements were made for a loaner. Mercedes-Benz of Alexandria was organized, cooperative and I had details regarding my car in less than 24 hours. The general manager, which people never see at dealership, called me. He wanted to be sure all departments were working together and I was satisfied. I actually think this dealership off of Pickett Rd in Alexandria has the finest employees. Great attitude. Thorough. Buying a Mercedes? I recommend Mike Prati to sell you one at MB of Alexandria.
