Don't buy one from a Lexus (or other competitor's) dealer used car lot. That indicates the previous owner was unhappy with the car and switched to a Lexus. Buy one from an MB dealer or private seller -- less chance you'll get a lemon.

Seem like good little cars. Amazing at how cheaply you can buy 03-04 C240's these days.

Hmmm,

So does that mean my S class's previous owner hated my car and traded it in on a BMW? People change cars for various reasons. A friend of mine who is a doctor traded a BMW 330ci convertible in on an LS430. The 330 was flawless and dealer maintained from new. He was just getting older and was not comfortable in a bright red 330 with the sport package and manual transmission anymore. Its quite possible someone at the Lexus dealer wanted a bigger car for the same price. Even the ES is bigger than the C class.

This is not a good indication of how happy or unhappy the previous owner of the car was, as most used cars on any dealers lot are bought at an auction..

All depends what you want to spend. I'd recommend a 1999 or 2000 C280 Sport. Great cars, just make sure that the car has had a new Harmonic Balancer installed under warranty.

I really like how the 02-up Kompressors look and drive but there is nothing like my W126 =D. Just curious, why the C-class? You wife doesnt like the bigger MB cars?

I have an 05 C230k and so far love it. It is a bit small coming from me E420 but I like the pep and the gas mileage.

i currently own a 05 c230k its actually faster than the 06 model and fuel economy is good on a good day on the freeway cruise is on i can reach 33 to 35 mpg the inside is very slick on design you can find features that can hardly be seen in any other car plus its quick on take off the car never hesitate and also the sport and comfort mode if you have a heavy right foot then sport is what u use but gas wise use the comfort mode you can bearely hear the engine even at redline

not exactly and endorsement for mb or this ..jeez
