Hello,

the price looks reasonable + i checked the history with carfax and it shows to be clean. what do u guys think?

Thank you,

Actually in my estimation the 1996, 1998 or the 1999 would be the best model years of the '90s, because all of the technical problems were sorted out. The 1999's also have the have the upgraded styling.

Stay away from the 1997's, because about half of them had bad transmissions.

Also, the C220's didn't have the head gasket problem that plagued the early C280's.
