Just bought a certified 2014 C300 sport w/ the premium & multimedia pkg and keyless-go with 46k miles for 23k. Same price as a new altima or camry but 20x more fun and people think I'm rich

You aren't driving an E-Class or S-Class. Or even an AMG. No one thinks you're rich, it's an entry level luxury sedan.

@DarrenPersad 5 лет назад

They really don’t though. I suppose it depends on region/locale as well, but driving my A6 around would get a few nods since most kids and younger adults don’t tend to drive those more expensive mid-size and full-size luxury sedans around, but in my C300 it’s just another regular vehicle. Yes, it commands a little more respect than an ILX, or IS, or something, but it’s no different from seeing a 3 Series or A4 around. Excellent car to own though. The only time I’ve ever heard a comment about being wealthly is when I was driving my Tipo M139 QP around, but the truth is that they’re attainable as well, the money only comes into play on upkeep and maintenance.

I am not a car guru but I think as a professional and a business minded person, if I am going to pull up to meet a client for lunch or at a coffee shop, I need to drive a decent car and make a good first impression. Nothing wrong with that.

Man... you are right on. I own a 2011 w204 since new. Reliable, comfortable, stylish. I now have a 102k miles and still runs awesome other than it needs engine mounts to soften up the engine vibration. It costs me $200-450 per year for maintenance. I would not buy a 4cyl w204, it’s bouncy and Toyota like. The doors are solid, tank like. The interior is amazing and almost timeless. Mine has all the upgrades, harmon, panorama, halogen, nav, 4matic, blk on blk. With tinted windows it looks awesome. I also bought a c43 last year without trading the c300, I just couldn’t do it so I kept it as a second car, yet, it remains my primary because of the comfortable ride, smooth engine, sleeper lux look. The c43 is like a race car and it feels like im riding on pogo sticks. Yet, both have their purpose and appropriate for a particular mood. I recommend the v6 from 2009-2011, im not sure the 2012 is a v6. I be glad to post pics if anyone cares to see it after 8 yrs of ownership. In 2008 it was awarded the car of the world.

@oOJakkeOo 6 лет назад

I've had a BMW 325i E91 for a year now and it's true that german cars offer a sense of quality that something like a Camry just can't compare with. Also with a german car, you see it as a plus if you get to own it and it actually is pretty reliable. A Camry MUST be reliable, or else you just hate it, get rid of it and buy something else. A german car is a car you like, a car you want to be in and take to different places. I love the moment I sit down in my BMW and know that I have a 500km trip ahead of me. It's the power, the quality, the sound system, the engine note, the design inside and out that completes the experience. Nice to hear that you're happy with your german!

My favourite so far is the leather package and the smart headlights. I always will pick MB over Audi or BMW. Millions of reasons behind. C300 (2012 to 2015) has the same engine as C350 but is detuned. That means you can tune up and get up to 330hp and 300lb/ft torque. Pretty good deal. Will cost you around 1500USD. Enjoy

I have had no issues with ANY of these cars with the exception of a motor mount on the 2010 glk, and a hvac blower motor on the 2012 GLK. Recently I have also replaced a windshield washer pump on the latest c300. Literally, do oil changes, tires and brakes and drive the things. The 2012 GLK, 2010 C300 and 2010 e550 are in my driveway, and are the best vehicles I have ever owned.

I bought a 2019 Honda civic sport last year (wrecked it) and it cost me $20k! It really was a great car but upon research i couldnt believe i could have gotten into a MB C 300 4 Matic for the SAME PRICE!!! Yes i am prepared the maintenance costs are a lil more but when doing my research as you stated they are reliable especially if youre looking at one that has the right miles on it at 50-60k. So i have decided with the lil inheritance i have coming my was i am going to go with the MB C 300! Its just so hard to pass up for the amount of car you get at the price point even with used cars increasing quite a bit in resale value thanx to inflation etc. this video helped me even more to go down this road so thank you!

While lower on power than the V6, the torque is close and on the little turbo, it hits peak torque (229 lb ft) at 2200 rpm and stays through 4500 rpm. And, I’m getting 30 mpg. Not to mention, excellent handling but still a very comfortable ride. Seats are the most comfortable I have sat in in any car! Love the leather suede seats and the 18” AMG wheels. Looked at an A4 Quattro and while quicker, it still suffered from massive torque steer. I bought a German luxury car for the performance, handling, and comfort. Not for the prestige (though it is nice rolling around in a Mercedes). BMW and Mercedes are the only two left in this category that are proper wheel drive (rear wheels) except a couple of the Japanese brands. And those are just boring to drive. I would recommend a C class as well (W204). And don’t be afraid of the 1.8 turbo in the C 250. Still plenty of power, light turbo lag, and with that huge torque band, you can take most anything off the light and leave them dumbfounded. Lol

My first Benz was the W204 C350 with everything on it and bought it new. Very reliable and took very good care of it and maintained at Mercedes. It never broke down and had enough power for me at 302hp. I now have the W205 C450 AMG which has been a headache for a car that is assembled in America whereas the W204 is assembled in German and you can tell the difference. I'm not the only one with issues and can't wait to get rid of my car now. My videos on RU-vid show clear all my issues and that will lead you to others.

I got my 2012 c300 in 2019 with about 30k on it. Still have it. Has about 100k on it now. I’ve done pretty much all the performance mods I can on it including ecu tune and a tcu tune. Got the android screen Mine had came with a flat bottom steering wheel but I got a black and red leather stitched flat bottom with paddles. Basically same wheel just paddles and red stitching. Upgraded the entire interior to carbon fiber and a few small accents with red stitching to match the wheel. Been thru about 5 different sets of rims and been running it hard. Hardly any issues. Love my c300. Very comfy to sit in to ride. Only thing I hate is the vibration it makes in the trunk with the spring other than that love it. Will keep it till it dies on me.

There is a reason it depreciates like it does! I'd rather have a peace of mind driving a Toyota, than to "impress" people who actually don't give a shit what I'm driving

@patrickhenry948 5 лет назад

...........the main reason for the depreciation of Mercedes. especially the E class, are ex-corporate leases flooding the market from major metro areas, then shipped everywhere. Some even lease C class vehicles. Never go to a dealer unless your car is under warranty. If you buy used, get an extended warranty from a reputable co.. Parts are readily available on EBay and other sites. Find an independent garage that specializes in German cars .......there everywhere and less expensive than the dealer. Before purchase, run the VIN # online to insure the car was built in Germany, avoid any built in N America. The key to owning a Mercedes is routine maintenance and care. It's important to educate yourself about your model, there are tons of information, advice, and how to videos on RU-vid to help you out. Look into owners groups locally and online ....they are a treasure trove of information and advise. Remember, if they were unreliable thousands wouldn't be used as taxis throughout Europe and Asia. Treat the car with respect and it will serve you well.

Your video hit the nail on the head. When I was looking at a new car a couple years ago, I did my budgeting and figured out I could afford a well equipped Focus or a base model Fusion. Or, it turned out, a 2011 C300 4Matic with 63k miles on it, plus $5,000 that got to stay in my bank account. Haven't regretted that decision for a minute, particularly once I discovered that magical little "sport mode" button that wakes the transmission up. There are a couple things that could be improved: I miss the auto-dimming rearview mirror that I had on my old Hyundai (paragon of luxury which they are), the "leather" seats tear quite easily, and while the 4Matic did get me home in a blizzard, the ESC system freaked out & shut down after using the front bumper to plow my way up a hill (car still kept chugging, though). All in all, very nice car which corners beautifully and has enough pep to make driving exciting, but also rides smooth and quiet for when I don't want "exciting".

They’re all we drive because I learned how to drive in my dad’s ML320. I went with what I knew because it’s all we bought. What solidified it was when a silver Hyundai rammed into my C280 on my birthday. Ran a red light and hit me at 50mph. I WALKED out of this accident with a little back pain.

Both have nav system, tech goodies and etc. The Benz just has more tech than IS in its COMAND system has in its package. Overall, the MB (at lrast mine, which may be tricked out versus normal) has more luxury features than the IS. The IS has cost more to maintain as well, and provides less luxury. Its a different drive for sure. IS does get slightly better MPG on highway, but not much. I get 31 in MB, 32-33 in IS over the same roads. Got the IS from the Lexus dealer.
