Obviously, it's a rocketship compared to the 323Ci I had before. After two weeks of ownership, I've already got the MB fever bad. I've joined the MBCA (Greater Washington Section) and I'm looking to connect with other enthusiasts. Money's tight right now, but I'd like to eventually start subtly modifying the car, so I figured this was the best forum from me. I'd love for other C43 or W202 owners to sound off here. Attached is a picture of me and my new baby the day I brought her home!
If you don't have the service history, I would suggest that you change the transmission fluid and filter.
At 157K miles you may have had a trans rebuild or two..
The trans is the weak point in the C43.

While you're at it do the rest of the fluids, oil, brake, water...
Always best to start with what you know !!!

Congrats !!
