I would never recommend buying this car to anybody because in just two years I have had to replace the following parts:
Air conditioning evaporator-Aprox. US$900.00
Upper and lower front suspension arms-Aprox. US$700.00
Ignition & key module-Aprox.-US$1,000.00
Correction of a very disturbing noise in the transmission gear-Aprox. US$900.00
Replacement of the steering wheel column bear -Aprox. US$300.00
Three times programming moon roof and all window systems-Aprox.US$400.00
I don’t really understand how the Daimler Chrysler Company can explain That a brand new car can damage all this parts in just two years.
Well Bela I don't know what to tell you. I have a C240 2002 and I haven't had any issues with it, though your car is the first model of the new C class generation. You should know that you never buy the first model of the new generation of any car. They usually find and fix any problems on the following year.
The moral of the story as with any car is make sure that you have a good warranty from the garage you bought it from . Have you tried contacting mercedes direct and telling them of your woes. They are very good at giving you refunds if you can prove that it is a premature failure. Have you had the car serviced by a registered mercedes Dealer. Sounds to me like you have just got a runt car.
