I considering buying either a C230K (auto or man) or a C280, Sport versions ideally. I've been having a scout around on and off for a few weeks and really can't decide which to go hunting for. Now I've owned W202's , a 180 & a 200 and both had the usual spots of rust and between them they suffered a failed Coil, MAF & SAM unit. So, I'm aware of the 'common' potential problems on those basic four pots but I'm not up to speed on the Komp or the V6 especially as either will more than likely have 80-120k miles on them.
Practical advise on either would be warmly welcome. Or more importantly what to avoid buying.
Thanks in advance.
