This is a tough one. The newest M-B I have owned is one currently in the stable, an 84! I want to like the new models, but I can't seem to stop thinking about all of these quality complaints.

(As an aside, I was at a local dealer, looking at new C-class sport coupe, and we went out back to look, drive, etc, and the car wouldn't start. That's right. Way to make a sale!)

I am considering 99 or 00 C230K, basically the newest model I will consider. Otherwise, probably a 124 chassis.

Even still, my impression of the quality of the 210 is no better than what people are saying about the 211.
