You’ll be a happy driver.

Many years back I drove Mercedes (Predecessor of the E class) but then the company switched to BMW. Good cars but not even close to MB.

Thereafter I switched to Porsche. Drove the Panamera for few years, liked it plus it tick one of life’s boxes to drive Porsche once. But in the long run it became an expensive car with maintenance.

So then I finally moved back to Mercedes. Loved it from day one on. My wife drives the GLE 400 4x4 which is absolutely a super car. But we made one mistake with that one: it doesn’t have seat ventilation which in this climate is killing
I drive the S class 450 long wheelbase. Super car
When in luxury mode it’s a jewel, when in sports mode the beast awakens.
I love it

Ps on Burmeister; if you’re a fan of music but only with a system that delivers great sound then see if you can get one with burmeister system. We have it in both cars and it’s soooo goooood.

Happy driving

On my way for a car

I drive my Honda with joy. But i’d experienced i am tired of shifting gears. Nowadays a car can do the driving for you, so why not some comfort more? Today i brows on a Mercedes C180 AMG line. No Burmester stereo, but an upgraded audio stereo. It sounds g...

Very intuitive design. I think you’d enjoy the experience of driving a Benz. I’m not a car guy (cuz I don’t have funds for another car), but my choice of car happens to be a standard Benz SUV. It’s not new, I got it when it was 2 years old, now it is 5 ye... 

Keep your Benz ok

You are not a car man. Than a BENZ and Toyota/Lexus is a save way. I know very much about many cars, so i know which to not chose and which to chose. I know the BMW’s with Peugeot engines and home engines. The car i was test sitting, have a genuine Merced...  

I guess it’s a W205 C class I’m seeing.

Do you know if it’s a pre facelift or facelifted one? And is a petrol or diesel? 200.000 km is not that much for a Benz. I usually drive them for about 250.000 km before trading in for a new one. Seldom had problems with them. Driving my 8th consecutive B...

Fun is to read it from a German. Your country. W204 is ok, but W205 as you know younger. Sure i looked for W204 online, but as you know, older, euro5 and lower. The W205 is longer on my eyes, and the finance is no hordes. The squared W204 i see to much. T... 

The long term quality of W204 is legendary.

Great info about the W204. When i cancel the W205 which i visit, another W205 would be it. It’s definitely i will chose a W205. Tell me some tales about the model, George.

Great choice .i have been driving a few MBs for quite some time now .

If you can stretch your budget for a slightly bigger engine . Please try to test drive the 180 and one with a bigger engine .

The good news is

That this car can easily run another 200.000 km effortless. I live Mercedes

A better reply is unthinkable

Now i can buy the Merc without any worries. I confess, i am a bit over the moon of the car. I know i must brake some emotion and think down to earth, but it is one of my legs is in the c180 already. ...

Once a vintage car specialist told me that’s a clear sign of a well used (loved) vehicle. Congrats on your new ride. I am fan of Mercedes Benz.

Wait

 
 By: Weems@8 : June 21st, 2021-20:20
Thanks for the reply. Wait is the title. Why? I decided to look further. Why? I want to have a younger C180, different paint and from the first owner. And if i am lucky, i try to get a C180 with Burmester audio.

Good luck and happy shopping!

I need to check them out the Burmester I got (I think) .. usually I don’t on my radio when I drive. I will check it out. Thank you for the tip. 😉
