Had one for 3 years. Is it a stick or auto? Auto, 2.3 will be slow. Stick, much better, but still no rocket. Perfect for a kid. Fuel economy is not the greatest for a 4 banger, but not terrible. I got 23-25 city, 25-29 hwy. Others may vary. Still screwed together like a Benz. Quality materials. AC was hit or miss. My aux fans failed which made a big difference. The car itself was extremely reliable. Never stranded me. I think the maintenance is the same across the Benz line. Pricey parts, but once fixed...they stay fixed.
I wish my folks had bought me a Benz when I turned 16.
I think, though, that $1900 is pretty high for that model. AC should work, and work well.
No emissions, though, in GA. That's nice.

yeah i agree 1900 is high. he says the a/c works 'sometimes' whatever than means.

if the car is decent, I will lowball it. I can afford to walk. my kid does not need it until the spring anyway.

It will probably "work" this January at 4am. "Sure, blows real cold!"

I passed on it. It looked better on pictures.

The motor was barely running.

The owner was not an MB enthusiast.
