Maybe it's just me, but I wouldn't buy a C-Class with anywhere near 200K. To make the C-Class, they take an E-Class and say "How many parts can I remove/redesign/replace to make this car $XX,XXX. The lack of quality really shows, especially when you have them side by side. You should be able to find a 1990-1995 E-Class with 150K or under in that price range. It will be much more reliable down the road than the C, IMO.
