Hi,
I've had my 2001 C320 for about two years now and apart from normal servicing (just a Maf replacement), she has been trouble free.
Things to check for would be:
1. Fsh, main dealer or good independent.
2. Rust, anywhere from the wheel arches down, especially the rear.
3. Make sure all the electronic items, air con works.
I average 20 mpg around town, to 30+ on a decent run.
Road tax is £270.
If you get a good one you'll find it comfy, effortless cruiser or a fast, surefooted Q car, to match whatever mood you're in.
Regards,
Chalpkin.

Hi. Great choice of car. I had one - an ex-demo - for 3 years and 60k miles and loved every single one of them. Chalpkin's spot-on with what he's relayed to you including my experience of consumption. In addition if you take it on a dual carriageway it should be incredibly stable and track straight as an arrow - it was special in that respect even compared to 2 E500's I had that followed it. Also, I recommend buying as late a model as possible - they did a few face lifted C320's with the improved dash and build, as from my own experience and those of others I know rust and build was variable early on. Good luck and keep us informed to how things go.
