Used Mercedes-Benz C-Class for sale near Dranesville, VA under $8,000

2012 C250 Coupe summer 2014 CPO purchase. Odometer read 23000 mile as I wrote a check for $2500. Now at 42,000 miles this beautiful Iridium Silver coupe has one repair issue (ESL) It's the best looking car I've ever owned. An 850 mile round trip to AZ - mostly interstate - showed 35 MPG. I rarely push the turbo 4 - - - but when I do - the car responds in a - at least to me - a satisfying manner! In addition to decent highway fuel economy and adequate low end torque the car is just plain gorgeous - inside and out.

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.

The customer service was pretty good, and the prices were fair. They were willing to negotiate. If I wanted to view a car someone would escort me or at least point me in the right direction

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".

Right now the purchasing process is great, paper was ready to be signed, the car was delivered very with no issues. Gino the salesman was very coutious and understanding. Still waiting to gety tags which is not due until later in the month.

I've had this car since 2012. Bought demo from a dealer. Reliability is excellent. After 120000 miles I've only had to replace the timing chain and gears, thermostat, front brakes and tires. Drives like a dream. None of my past GM vehicles would even come close to being this reliable.

I am a retired federal government. I have bought many cars in the past. I got recommended by a family member and friends. I am satisfied with the transaction with the car price, especially with the sales person and their team. I will recommend everyone to come here! Give them the chance. They deserve all the chance & they won’t let you down. Thank you to the whole freds staff !

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.

I received a prompt reply regarding all information I requested regarding the car I was seriously interested in buying.

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.

This car met all the things I need in car life.After driving the Pilot, Ridgeline, Highlander, Santa Fe, and several others, the Sorento EX V6 was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is like a Lexus and it handles almost like a sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

The 2012 Mercedes Benz C-300 is both stylish and comfortable. I actually enjoy driving now. It is a luxury vehicle at an affordable price fit for a king on a pauper’s budget!

Great experience! Gee and Todd both are amazing, will definitely return and refer friends and family.

Truly great car driven it 20k miles over the year, no issues whatsoever (with proper maintenance of course). It gets Great gas mileage, some trips up to 28MPG!

This dealer is fantastic!!! Best prices and lowest fees in all of Virginia, DC and Maryland !!! Ask for Yasser he will go above and beyond to help you! He's been the best with me and will definitely help you find a car!

The car is beautiful on the inside and outside - very comfortable luxury package. Maintenance done proactively at dealership and authorized Mercedes mechanics. Includes heated leather seats, wood detail, navigation system, rear view camera, Michelin tires, and many more special features.

Fantastic Experience! DMV Automotive provided me top-notch service from start to finish. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient. They helped me find the perfect car without any pressure. The entire process was smooth, transparent, and hassle-free. I highly recommend this place

Mercedes really are The Best!! Everything is Too Notch! The performance and gas mileage are great! Buy one whenever you can! There will be no regrets

Excellent service!!! Very helpful, and helped me out when it felt like no one would!! Thank you so much Guys!!!

I went on truecars.com where I got my car from salesman Mike in Arlington, VA. He went above and beyond in his service and helping me get this car and I am very satisfied and really like the car. It was in excellent condition and I would definitely recommend it.

Straightforward guys. What you see is what you get. You have all the time in the world to check and decide. There is a zillion cars good and bad. They sell used cars at affordable prices. Issued my tags while treating me to a coffee. An extra guarantee is provided for a fee. Bought a car, and a friend that I recommended got one too.

I have a bit over 100K miles now on my C300, had a few repairs, but overall, a comfortable and fine car for driving around town and travel.

Several individuals reached out to me to discuss my vehicle needs, financial options, etc.; each individual was very professional and courteous.

My first time owning a Mercedes while everyone warned me not to get one. Honestly I've used this car PRETTY rough, and it has held up better than my previous Daihatsu Copen, Civic 2014 and Accord CL7. It's a total workhorse, but alas, the parts really ARE expensive, ans servicing it is quite difficult as well. But all in all, its comfort is just impeccable and better than anything else I've ever drive in this price range. If you have a slightly higher budget for maintenance, I would 10/10 recommend you this car.

highly recommend safe and reliable choice for any car buyer. They offer a seamless, hassle-free experience that you can trust, making the car-buying process enjoyable and stress-free.

My 2003 Mercedes C240 is the safest, most reliable, sleekest, brilliant, powerful, & comfortable car ever made because they can do anything a Japanese car can, but they also give the same luxury & safety that any car ever made can give. Built for high speed on the German Autobahn, these cars must provide safety at collision speeds of 120 miles per hour in Germany.

I had a GREAT experience today at Woodbridge Public Auto Auction.i got a great vehicle at a very good price and Mr.Ryan was just the best he help me and my wife all the way through the process he really made the a very smooth transaction for us.Thank you all so much and I will say if anyone need a vehicle thats the place to go we drove 3hours from Newport news to Woodbridge and it was well worth the drive.

Driving this car is so nice it rides so smooth and it has power too. Not to mention it looks really good. Never had a problem with it

I didn’t purchase a vehicle as of yet but plan to do so in the near future. I know I will be buying my car from branch Avenue Auto auction.

There is no SUV better than a classy, reliable, economic, yet powerful Mercedes Wagon as these rare cars save tons of money on gasoline compared to SUV's that guzzle gas. I cannot believe how people buy SUV's as they have so little going for them compared to a German Wagon designed to carry a massive amount of equipment, tools, baggage, boxes, vacation goods, & so much more & still save you on gas mileage ranging from 19-28 miles per gallon . No SUV Made today can duplicate that efficiency. These are so much more beautiful too. Freezing AC, Navigation, great tires, privacy bonnet covering the entire back end of the car, & that wonderful Mercedes Benz V6 power.

1st Dealer I find with all info online and low fee. They drop my car to my house with no extra fee. Thank you

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!

Bought a beautiful low miles Mercedes Benz from Eddie at 1st Choice. I am very happy with the car and the sale was smooth and easy. Ask Eddie about the best cars on the lot and I think he will point you in the right direction.

I have owned this Vielcle for 3 years, My expenses each year range about a thousand, think it's a little high, but the car is a nice car. Also, why do I have to pay for the cabin filter inside the car. I ask now if Mercedes will send me a coupon for to get that taken care of. Thank you

What a pleasant experience. My first time financing a vehicle. When going to initially look at the vehicle, I discovered a few issues. Obviously no used car is going to be perfect, nor was I expecting it to be. They told me to come back the next day and the issues would be fixed. I came back and they did in fact fix the car. They are willing to and have went above and beyond.

Outstanding comfort, luxury, and strong all wheel drive V6 performance in a small scale 4 door. Price you pay for the refinement is that gas mileage is only about 16 mpg in the city however. Has been utterly dependable with minimal unscheduled maintenance issues.
