nonhuman: Most days the C320 is more fuel efficient than the C240 C320 was made mostly in Germany so quality is good notch some C240 were made in Brazil and adviced to stay away from such C320 had many standard feature that were optional in the C240, also the 320 was good with power and acceleration while the C240 is a slow snail. in terms of maintenance well both vehicles are almost basically same, maintenance for both shouldn't be too different and isn't going to break a bank. 2 Likes |

Buynowautos: Both Engines are V6 explanation I can give is build design, unless you know the design of both Engines then you can determine why the mpg of both are irregular, it's same for Toyota 1mz, 3mz and 2GR, the 3.5L has a better MPG than the 3.3 and 3.0L for same vehicle class.

I use a c240 my brother a c320... the car is super cheap to maintain.. the 240 burns less fuel but isn't as light pedal as the 320 plus its acceleration drags compared to the c320.. the parts in the market are unbelievable cheap than you imagine.. its a very strong car.. I sold my Lexus for this cause it gives the same joy aside this has better control and balance.. But I would be upgrading to c300 for a taste.. Here is a picture of my c240 its 3 months old registered came into the country December last year... 2 Likes

nonhuman: Only when he owns one and wants to market it for sale. Do you expect him to speak ill of the same car he wants to sell? He'd tell you his car is better than a C230K |

Plz reply asap,as your contributions will be beyond helpful. This is my number 08091990700. I can even call you guys to get more info if possible. Thanks in anticipation of your quick response. |

xpertriate:I've had it for 5 years. It can be a money pit if not properly maintained and the interior falls apart with age. Suspension is also a major blow for this car as it will keep failing especially if where you live is untarred. I will advise you go for a Lexus is250 since that is properly styled,is more recent and economical. The c230k is an old car tbh...no longer keeping up with the times ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

Logobenz3:Thanks. I don't want a Toyota ,but Mercedes. Maintenance is not an issue. That's why I am asking for specific wahala,which are common with some specific car model. Provided nothing Herculean is common with this particular model c230k 2004. I should be able to live with normal maintenance of a vehicle. Unless your definition of maintenance is something else. I will gladly learn and listen to your advice,but you have to be specific and clear with the term "money pit" Thanks 1 Like |

Logobenz3:He wants to drive "Fourmatic" like all those other Nigerian guys I used to see. Please leave him to do as he pleases. I bet they don't know what the acronym is only that they feel fly when they hear somebody bought a "Mercedes Benz Fourmatiki" ![]() For them, the 4matic means that the car is special and is more premium.

conductor250:no worry,when e don buy shocks 100k twice and work on the front legs twice at almost 200k,air issues,heating(which instantly kills the m271),flood,air conditioning which is very notorious in the w203,he will know he should have chosed another car over that machine. Do not buy a C230k if you no get better Money,simple! It does not tolerate abuse even for 1sec ![]() I like how the gear fails almost instantly if you don't buy Mercedes star oil,original filters and steady going to the computer guy to reset gear so as to have proper movement. Then you begin to wonder if you should expend that much on a car that isn't admired anymore? ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |
