C220 vs C320

[R22MPM]

Hey All,
Looking into purchasing either a C220/C320 over the next month and i'm interested in knowing the maintenance cost differences between the 2 models.

Will be looking at either 08-09 model, and the prices seem similar for both models.

In terms of replacement parts, how much more expensive is a C320 in regards to things like gearboxes or other big mechanical jobs?

any suggestions on the above? or should i post to another section of the forum?

It'll be the same gearbox, a 7-G Tronic.

I'd get the V6 every time. The 220 would probably be better on fuel, so it's up to you. The V6 uses 8.5L of oil, two air filters and 6 plugs so servicing will cost more.

Do you want to save every penny you can or have an engine you can enjoy?

Enjoyment would far outweigh the cost sides, but just wanted to make sure that there were no common faults/issues on the 320 when compared to the 220.

Thanks for the input
