C- Class Sports Coupe

[Buzz word]

My Focus wants replacing and the normal econo boxes leave me a bit cold. I quite fancy a c180k sports coupe but have no idea what I could be letting myself in for. The reviews make them sound ok but What are they like to live with parts? faults? etc.

Ah, I was looking at 02/03 age by the looks of my budget do they have alot of problems then? I found a few posts making it sound like corrosion can be an issue. I thought that was quite odd though as it seems he cars have a 30yr body warranty.

It seems a bit funny that MB would need full service history to pay a corrosion warranty. It wont really have affected the corrosion protection if it has had a Lucas oil filter over a MB one. I guess thats just MB with their business head rther than their fair head on.

I did a bit more reaserch and found info about suspention issues on w203's seemingly most of the front end including the springs seem to fail. My brother has a E46 which needed lower arms at £300 a pair fitted. If it's that ballpark I can live with it unless it's every year.

It's good to hear the car is a compenent cruiser as that's what I want it for really. My comute is all motorway miles so I just want somewhere nice to be for that time.
