W202 purchase
Looking to purchase a W202 series Mercedes-Benz. Looking right now at a 1999 C230 Kompressor. Overall, how do these cars hold up? The car I'm looking at seemed particularly noisy at startup and idle. Is this just the nature of the supercharged engine? How is the overall reliability of the engine and supercharger? What other things should I look out for? This car has ASR, do I need to worry about the electrical gremlins that plagued the earlier cars? What about the wiring harness? It has low miles at only 52k and the overall condition is good. How do these cars compare to the W124 or its predescessor the W201?
