Morning all.

So I've finally picked a car :) gone for a 2008 C320 Amg sport. With 104k

Is there any thing i should lookout for. And does anyone have any tips what to look at ?

Much appreciated
 
Hi... Going on my 3 years of c class ownership, mine is the same year and main problems have been ignition failure, common problem and can be expensive depending what course of action you take, basically when you insert key into ignition you should hear a motor sound, this should be a quick zip type action, if it is slow module is probably on its way out, it is basically a small electric motor that locks the steering and moves a pin in and out.
Second major for me was brake pipe corrosion which actually dumped all its fluid resulting in very limited braking, mine was at the rear and behind the undertray so worth checking.
Apart from them majors and usual consumables ie tyres and servicing it has been a great car.
