Have owned a c280 - 1996 for a few years now.

Look for a wagon now. Somewhere in the 1999-2001 range.

I have seen a variety of opinions on the reliability. My wife drives alot of highway miles and I can't have her breaking down on the side of the road.

There are a few here in Atlanta. Ranging from 85K - 100K on the mileage.

I have a good local mechanic - although I don't want to visit him much.

Just looking for some general opinions here. Thanks.
