I have been offered a seemingly genuine 1999 c class 280 [2.8 v6] with 45,000 miles on the clock. Never having had a c class before I would be grateful if anyone could tell me if there are any hefty bills lurking around the corner ie. when do the timing belts/chains need renewing - does the auto box need any major servicing - is this engine generally reliable?. I dont want to buy a "bargain" only to find its going to cost me a fortune in the near future!
any comments would be gratefully recieved
Thanks
