I am looking at a 98 C230 to buy for my wife. 98k very clean, drives straight, shifts slow when cold, drivers side rear window not working. Had been hit in the right rear and has a rebuild title, excellant repair work. Cd changer was distroyed. All else seems good.

I had an 83 300D that was a great Benz. Don't know much about the newer ones. Can anyone give info on what to are the troubles and the positives.

I have read some of auto reviews and posts on the site. Most say expensive to maintain ( all ready know that), not good in snow (live in Michigan). Have seen things about wiring harness - does this apply to this model. Others state very good and are very happy.

Thanks in advance for any input you may provide.
