Greetings...new member in Minnesota here. I've been reading through the forum in hopes of finding some advice/experience from members regarding 2002 C320.
My son just got his drivers licence, so my plan is to give him my current vehicle (Ford F-150), and buy a new-to-me MB with low mileage and low cost. I have owned several BMWs in the past, but would like to give MB a try this time. I found a couple of 2002 C320s on line that appear to fit my needs. One with 31xxx miles for $13,500 and one with 13xxx miles for $17,000. According to carfax, both are one owner cars, and both are on dealer lots in Illinois. Again, according to carfax, the one with 13xxx miles seems to have been in the shop frequently for electrical maintenance.
What should I look for as possible red flags, and what type of mechanical issues are common with this model?
I'd appreciate any advice or insight on this model
Thanks
