very clean C-class Yeckmohr. Mercs always look so nice when they get a little older....so much class.

Thanks, i know it's like an old wine - i love the old clean mercs. It should look like an original model without
this tuning thing.

Excellent, i bought it in 2002 and got 2 problems since then, the cooling
compressor and this crankcase - thats all. only some normal wear parts.

Before that a had 1994 Nissan Primera, it was so often in the garage.

It's cheaper in Germany driving a merc than a Nissan - insurance is higher and
all the wear parts are more expensive.

Hmm, pretty good then. It's just that I've heard there might be some reliability issues with this car, seems like you've gotten a good one.

You have to know it's the last production year, it's a 1999 model. So they changed and made a lot in the garage what you
don't know. It was driven by an old lady before i got that'swhy this senior color

I've always liked the shape of that C-Klasse... along with the new one, they look so much better than the previous!!

Yours, with the AMG suspension and those wheels looks really clean and elegant indeed, and a bit sporty too!

nice!, I actually prefer this MB design to a lot of the newer ones. It's timeless classy

Nice ride and a manual too! I have never seen a manual transmission Merc here in the states, that would be something special

. of course, it seems most people here prefer automatic transmissions

Very classy machine, I liek that body style, it will look cool indefinitely.

I think this one was never be delivered with a manual to the states. I've got an old Car&Driver magazine, there is this model
only with automatic - but you can trust me - the automatic would be the better choice. The manual is a lot of shit
