Hello Everyone This video is why you should never Buy a Mercedes Benz c and all the cons you need to know before purchasing one for more follow / abrahamshamma
@@augustohuertas6175 it is BS. Service costs are far cheaper on my MB than on my VW. Just a small thing as changing the breaks is 25% less on the C class
@@gorgemuld7812 Lol, anyhow, it's an expensive car, a luxery car, parts can be more expensive, of course they won't cost as much as a cheaped out american v8 crysler or whatever
I obsoletely love my c300 and due most of the maintenance myself. I agree on the cost of A and B services but the good news is that you can do it yourself. Also, if you truly love your car, you gotta be willing to get your hands dirty under the hood sometimes and you'll be surprised by how much you will be learning too by working on your car. On a nice Sunday afternoon, grab yourself a 6 pack of your favorite beer, a speaker to play your favorite jam, a nice sexy tool set, but don't cheap out guys on the tools and work on your car, like change your front or rear brake parts, change shocks.....or just wash and detail it. Make it fun guys and drive them Mercedes like you own the roads and remember guys to keep it sexy and not cocky. Driving a Mercedes is not about the title but about love for cars😉
Honestly, just get one from 2015-2018, they're still very nice and cost like $25k on average. Or you could always lease a newer one for like 2 years or so.
My mom and me have been using our 2015 C300 4 matic since 2017. Pot holes are loud, but it drives good. Maintenance can be a little pricy, but it is to be expected for a Mercedes. We got lifetime oil change for $600. It can be sporty when you need it to. It can also get near 30mpg on eco mode if you drive modestly. We bought the car for $38k at dealership. Make sure you get a color you like, because my mom wanted white, but my dad convinced her to settle for the gray since it was the cheapest car there. That is why she rated it 5/10 😂. Great functionality: Music sounds great, comfy seat adjustments, simple yet effective car. Other than the pricy maintenance, I think it is a overall great car! 8/10
License plate says from Ontario Autobase = "used car dealership" I was wondering why he was just listing such ridiculous small problems. Dude just trying to get into the youtube money game.
I agree a d he he’s obese with a thick woollen top on and the front passenger seat is pushed right back. What you have to realise is he wants to say a load of shite about this merc so that we watch it and he gets money, so people thumbs down and unsubscribe.
Just to clear out. #1:10. The oil changes and services are very simple and great deals since you only have to get done every 10-12k or 20k mileage. Service A = every 12 months or 12k mil, service B is every 24 months or 20k mil. In addition Service A is $250 to $500 depending on the model & year. Service B is $400 to $900.
Hi, that is a LOT of miles, over half a million kilometers!? is it a 1.8ltr petrol or diesel? Have you ever had any mechanical issues? I have a 2013 C200 1.8ltr turbo (M271) and it has only just ticked over 33,000 miles. haven't had any issues at all, yet. Have it serviced MB every year.
@@ozymandias7940 hi, yup a lot of miles, hoping to reach a million miles lol.. yah 1.8ltr petrol and the only major problem I had was replacing the ignition switch it went completely dead other then that just usual maintenance 🙏🏼
@@jeffmusk.6984 full maintenance every 20k miles and regular maintenance like oil change every 6k miles.. I never take it to Mercedes’ dealer they are rip off I go to Mercedes’ DR same service fraction of cost!
Coming from someone that works at Benz, This is a reliable car, As far as Comfort level, It does ride kind of rough with this AMG package, Which includes lower damped suspensions and 19 inch wheels with Low pros on them, my advise to you If you're tall and usually ride with 3 other tall/big people, Then get an E class buddy.
Yeah just my thought... There's so much missunderstanding going on in this video. If you listen to him it's hilarious, he's complaining about comfort and then about lack of sportiness... wtf. He clearly bought the wrong car ...
Any way to make the suspension more dampening? Comfortable? I've got one, amazing car Looking for a way to make it more comfortable Had no idea the amg rode so stiff before buying
@@amsams3941 without replacing? I‘d say not much, you can put 17 or 18“ rims with „higher“ tires on, that’s pretty much all you can do. If you have the adaptive damping system it might be possible to play around with the settings internally but you’ll need someone who can do that.
The c class is pretty small tho especially the older the w205 is a bit bigger but doesn’t offer a lot of room compared to a E class or S class even a Honda Accord has better room than the c class but idk why the dude saying it’s expensive when getting a Benz
You're right about space. 1:34 The C-Class is made for young driver's. It's designed for young families. Seats two full size adults up front and children or small teens in the back. If you have larger people, the E-Class is perfect. If you have larger people that are elderly or have leg injuries, I'd recommend the S-Class due to the high foot well door seals and B-Pillar.
@@lgtv8526 The S-Class in my opinion is really for business use. When you purchase something like an S-Class using tax code 179 and able to write off other expenses, it's a very good option. Business use such as chauffeur, security detail, or special occasions such as weddings or public official use. The S-Class has a purpose as being the best sedan money can buy including Rolls Royce, Bentley or even the Maybach which is also a Mercedes. The S-Class and Mercedes in general are the safest driver's cars today. They have the highest survivability for drivers in case of an accident. Old people on buses is actually dangerous. Those vehicles provide very little protection and safety. I've seen Mercedes hit by tractor trailers and the occupants walk away with only cuts from glass. Also if a owner uses FCP Euro for said S-Class, expenses are lowered further due to their lifetime guarantee on parts and no high dealership markup. Mercedes of Annapolis charges +400% on some parts 🤦🏾♂️
I had issues with plastics in mine too, brand new c class coupé. I took them to the official dealer after a letter of complaint to Mercedes Benz Italia and they were able to fix the problem reducing the sounds to a 20% left. I wasn’t satisfied at the beginning (noises were nearly unbearable), but now that the problem is nearly solved I’m ok with the remaining ones, it’s not a Rolls Royce or an S Class (but if they weren’t able to reduce them I would have sold the car, considering that I had to wait 9 months for the car to be produced).
I own a 2018 C300 and I love it ! 💕 Your complaints are invalid because you are uninformed and naive. You know nothing about Mercedes-Benz. You need to do your research before you criticize the car and rant your complaints about things you don’t know about or understand. Just because you evaluated this one particular model only, this specific C400 4MATIC variant, your negative opinions and criticisms of the “problems” of this one specific model does not represent the C-Class in general, or the entire Mercedes-Benz product lineup, or the Mercedes-Benz marque, nor does it validate your stern advice to “never buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class.” 1. You complained about the hard ride. The reason that this car has hard shocks and a stiff ride is because it is equipped with optional the “AMG Sport Package,” identified on this car by the lower chrome trim “lip” on the front air dam below the front bumper and the AMG 19” multi-spoke alloy wheels. It is optional. A buyer can choose either to equip the vehicle with the AMG modification or not. Or choose to buy the specific AMG high-performance variant or not. The optional “AMG Sport Package” is for fast, sporty, spirited and aggressive high-performance driving. It is a firm AMG sport-tuned suspension, consisting of firm springs, firm shocks, and thicker sway bars, all positioning the chassis in a lower center-of-gravity stance, along with the AMG 19” multi-spoke alloy wheels with the low profile high-performance tires for quick, high-speed handling and road-hugging manners in tight curves without squirming or side body sway, much like a European bred race car. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sales brochure has printed a disclaimer that specifically states that there will be a “degradation of ride quality and comfort with the AMG Sport Package in addition to the 18” and 19” wheels in conjunction with the low profile tires.” So there you have it. So, for those who are not “sporty drivers,” and desire a smoother, softer ride, then the best choice is to buy the standard C-Class without the “AMG Sport Package” and to avoid the entire specific AMG line, like the C43 and C63. 2. You complained about the insufficient interior space. Although it’s not a small car by any means, the C-Class is designed and classified as a compact car for compact people of short to average stature. If more interior space is desired for taller folks, Mercedes-Benz also offers the larger E-Class and S-Class, which are the appropriate choices. No car model is a “one-size-fits-all” design, so if the shoe fits, wear it, if it doesn’t, then select another size. This applies to all cars (and clothes) regardless of the manufacturer. You would be better informed if you do your homework and get all the facts and specifications first, before criticizing. The Mercedes-Benz sales brochures will explain and specify everything. 3. You complained about the “crackles and pops.” Again, this is because it’s an AMG model. My C300 has a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 241 horsepower and it does not do this. It accelerates briskly, purrs smoothly and quietly because it’s not an AMG model. So if the “crackles and pops” are annoying, then skip the AMG variant. 4. You complained about the high maintenance costs. The high costs of parts and service is to be expected and it goes with the territory in a Mercedes-Benz or any prestigious luxury car. The dealer offers an available service agreement contract to waive price increases for parts and service during the life of the contract. (usually in either a 2 or 3 year contract and is renewable). If you are complaining about the high costs of parts and service, then a Mercedes-Benz is not for you. This car is way out of your league and you cannot afford to own one. It is, what it is. Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to me. I know these facts because I am a multiple repeat owner and I currently own a 2014 C250 also. I also previously owned a 1989 300E and a 2004 E500, so I am very familiar and satisfied with my past experiences with this marque. No car model is perfect for everyone, but as for me, the C300 is the best choice for my family and me, so I bought the standard C300 without the “AMG Sport Package” and it rides smoothly and comfortably. It’s a great ride. I’m happy with it and I have no regrets. The Best (for me) or nothing! 👍
Yup. Would never get the 'sport package' again. Had it on a convertible and had to sell because I thought it rode sooo bad. Still agree that the C series is overpriced and underperforms, especially if you are not under 5'7". The 4 doors are great for 50+ ladies who are small with small friends. E class or nothing!!
@@markgeller5900 , Yup, the C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet (convertible) are considered to be 2-door “sport” models, so therefore, they are most certainly equipped with the “AMG Sport Package,” 19” wheels and low-profile tires as standard equipment, whereas the Saloon (4-door sedan) models are “family” models offering the “AMG Sport Package” as an option. Same goes for the E-Class Saloon and the S-Class Saloon as well.
I have the same car in white. I’ve had minimal problems. It’s been the best ride I’ve had. As far as service out of warranty take to your mechanic. The oil changes are basically the same except for brake exchanges.
You’re 100% correct about the cost of parts. That’s why I purchased a factory extended warranty for 7 years/100,000 miles with zero deductible. It’s a complete extension from where the 4 year leaves off. I live in the NY area and dealers would always offer specials on oil changes $99 tax. You don’t have to take it to the dealer. You can even do it yourself. Just keep the receipts. As for the wheels/tires you can purchase a warranty for those too. I personally, avoid at all cost those super low profile tires and wheels so I don’t buy it. You can get factory wheels, barely used for under $1K. eBay, Mercedes benz forums……..I’ve had 3 new Mercedes and none of them gave me any problems. Then I purchased one of the first 2019 BMW M5’s and was nothing but problems. Hired, at no cost to me, a lemon law attorney and make a long story short, had BMW take the car back and let me order another one after a year.
Not really. Like, he complains about replacing a wheel for $1000, but the car has 4 AMG wheels on it. You could have gotten a much cheaper wheel from Mercedes, and certainly from an aftermarket.supplier. A lot of other non-luxury brands are nearly as expensive when it comes to parts and service.
Facts!! but tbh the maintenance on Mercades aint as bad as people make it out to be, granted it really depends on what model you have... if you can do a few things on your own youll save a bunch as well...
You don't have to go to a Mercedes dealership to get maintenance done. If you truly believe you have to spend 300 for an oil change just get a Corolla.
Funny dude, but the issue with leg room in the back is very valid (for a 1999 C200). I am 6'3 and have my seat back a fair way, and there is no way an adult would fit behind me (unless i move my swat forward so i am a bit cramped). About as much leg room as being in the back of my Kia Proceed GT which is a coupe.
$700 oil change? Bro you must not be looking, Grease pro does my 2017 c300 for $180. Still very expensive, but you trippin if you paying $700 for an oil change
I have owned a 2014 C class which is even smaller than this one. I could comfortably take my wife and my 2 children on road trips. I also did 3 track days with it. Its a comfortable well-handling sedan which is quite practical for its size. I see why people buy it and people will continue buying it, its a good fun product. This review is a joke.
I have a 350E Mercedes, and the cost of maintenance has been extremely low. After four years, nothing expensive. Oil changes are around $150 every 10K miles. Brake flush minimal cost. Brakes have thus far lasted 50K miles and no light has come on to change the pads. My Mercedes has been less costly than my previous Lexus and Honda Accord.
I drove a c class for a long time, comparing it to my bentley the C class drives just as AMAZING. Both are extremely smooth and feel like you’re driving a space ship. To anyone looking for a c class, it’s a good car and it’ll get you from point a to point B. Don’t let people steer you away from a car that’s nice because of their own knit picky complaints Edit; I came here to add that I often miss my C300😅 Lots of memories with that car
@@alexcis04 Yes I do! I am in the process of expanding my cultivation site and currently going through all of the bs to obtain all the correct licenses to be able to open a local dispensary in the future. that’s the dream !!!
I own a 2003 Mercedes Benz C240 4matic and it ABSOLUTELY the best car I have EVER owned. The oil change costs me just a little over $100 because it takes eight quarts of full synthetic oil, but I have not had any problems with this car. It is reliable, economical (6 cyl), and all I do is put gas and go. Do not know what this guy's problem is or where he gets his info, but completely wrong. Mike V. Albuquerque, NM
This gentleman clearly needed an S Class instead. You can't expect the cheapest model in a car line to give you all the same features as the most expensive model in that line.
That color combination looks amazing! We love the red interior. Although I do agree with you I think its time for some crackle and pops.... come trade it in for a C43 AMG with the active exhaust. Love the content keep it up!!!!!
I bought mine in 2008 brand new and it didn't die til 2016.. I probably could have kept going but the sunroom vent clogged and water got in the electricals. Built like little tanks. Wish there had been a hard top option...
Everything this man says is invalidated because of the fact that he has a hood ornament and grill logo, shameful. That act is a crime against all MB products
YES! THANK YOU! I'm all hood ornament, that's MB for me, classic and timeless, but on sporty cars and coupes I'm okay with the grille logo, but NEVER BOTH!! NEVER! So lame.
Man ur fkin right I didn’t even notice this… I work at Benz these cars don’t come with hood ornaments unless maybe it’s something the US has (I’m in Canada)
My first warranty came with complimentary maintenance for 3 years and the ONLY thing they did was an oil change and a wash and vacuum. No rotating wheels or changing filters. When I purchased my second one Mercedes did away with complimentary maintenance and the same technician told me I was due for the A service and I looked at him and said, “Eric, really?” Give me just the oil change. It’s once a year and $100. They use Mobil one full synthetic.
Bought this car and realized that whatever this joker was ranting about is absolutely rubbish and exaggerated to say the least. Had an A4 and 320i previously but by far, W205 C180 is the best car I've driven in terms of performance, comfort, reliability and most importantly, the maintenance is affordable. An enjoyable ride.
We considered selling our c180 then checked expected maintenance and decided it was worth keeping because predicted costs were super low XD. We recently got the steering lock bypassed (common fix) and the sunroof oiled. Those are the only two unexpected maintenance items from the last 5 years or so XD
2:18 The plastic tick noise likely isn't the console, it's probably the sway bar and stabilizer links needing replacement. The only time I hear the console squeak is if I press on it which makes no sense to do unless you're cleaning it. It's like that to help with the environment 🤷🏾♂️ If you want to get rid of the sounds for good. Purchase foam from the dollar store. Use a console remover tool, takes like 5 min to remove. Either use double sided tape, adhesive or glue to paste thin strips of foam on the back of the console trim. About a 30min to 1hr job to do the whole car.
Have me 2011 c300 it currently has 250,000 miles everything I’ve worked on my own and done on my own. One you realize how affordable it really is and places just over charge for being a Mercedes’ only main issue I’ve had was the steering wheel lock going out on me and not letting me start the car at all. The shop quotes me $2k to fix I bought I little motor for the steering wheel lock for $8 off eBay and fixed it myself in less than 3 hours with basic tools. This care is great BUT this is the 6cylinder model that I have. Newer models use a 4cyl. Turbo which is a shame becouse turbos give out and 4cyl don’t last as long
I’ve owned bmws and still own a c class and from my experience with both manufacturers the parts are cheap but labor cost is where they get you , either DIY or find a new mechanic besides dealership
I have owned a Mercedes Benz C300 4matic from new for the past 9 years. I have had absolutely no trouble with it whatsoever, not even a hint of any trouble. It is utterly reliable and utterly beautiful. there is something seriously wrong with this Abraham's Garage individual.
Anyone knows anything about this message on the screen "Bluetooth device audio paused" but it is still conneceted to mobile phone Spotify and plays the music.. i just have no control to change music directly in the car as before. Any info anyone?
Have my c300 for over 5 years. Never had any problems besides wheels are staggered. Which means to different size tires in the front wider ones in the back. They ones in the back don’t last that long. You are correct on the things u don’t like , but you forgot the things all Mercedes owners love. Dependable if you upkeep maintenance. The steering is second to none. German made steering. Horsepower in sports mode excellent. As far as cost for oil change. Of course if you go to the dealership they will hand you a jar of Vaseline and tell you to bend over. I go to a regular not super fancy mechanic. And he does maintenance 60-70% less than what the dealership charges.
I do all the maintenance myself, even B services cost me less than $150. Whoever the previous owner paid to do these before had been skipping the brake fluid flushes, so always do these yourself.
I see this everyday at the dealer, as soon as the warranty expires people already trade the car for something cheaper, if you dont got the money to mantain a Mercedes Benz, don't even bother, now if you want something premium, don't get a C class, either get an S class or AMG models and guess the owner had to changed 3 rims because the way he drives. Mercedes tends to have low profile tires since its a luxury brand so its not the same as driving a nissan or a honda
01:58 the seat in front of the steering wheel looks around 8 inches in front of the one you pulled back to it's maximum so you could complain about rear seat legroom, if you want loads of room in the back buy an suv.
ALL YOU DO IN THIS VIDEO IS JUST TALK NONSENSE,WHO MADE YOU BUY A MERCEDES IF YOU CAN'T PAY FOR THE MAINTENANCE. YOU SHOULD BUY A DODGE CARAVAN INSTEAD LOL
i got a c-class 180 bluetech from 2015 ,diesel ..,ok its a little bit expensive but i drive 43000km with just little problems ,i got now 145000km and its like the first days , very nice car and very taff, greetz from germany !
Only issue I had was some old C Class from 2006, but I was never going to drive it anyways. It was my mom's car and I was 15. But they've improved seating a lot for people my height so I've felt comfortable in newer ones and never had any other issues with it. But dude, don't criticize a car that you know nothing about, you literally got the Sport version that's why it's stiff.
Parts are expensive,but the car is superb,and ewery mehanic can change your oil and do the basic stuff,amg rims can crack and the console plastic does make sounds but have in mind that car has superior sound isolation so its no wonder u can hear the plastic sometimes.
Anyone who takes their cars to the dealership is asking to get ripped off and they could possibly take it for a joy ride or damage it etc. I take my new cars to my mechanic, he does what the dealership would do with the check ups, BUT he does it with me standing next to my car chatting with him and he never sits inside so it doesn't get dirty from his coveralls, and at a fraction of the price of a dealership, thats how they survive, not from the sale of the car, few fam work at dealerships and they told me so.
I just bought a 2003 C320 with 65K miles for $2000. My oil change costs $7 (filter) and free motor oil from the county recycling center. Total cost of oil change: $7
Not agreeing, have this 2018 c200 version.. its a superb car.. its compact so its not actually for transporting hulks.. as for shocks yes they ate stiff but overall this is a superb vehicle.
How do you find the maintenance costs? I’m looking at getting a c250 coupe and that’s the only thing I’m unsure off atm. Prices are going to be different if ur stateside cause I’m in the uk
i have w205 and the only thing i can agree on is little space behind but going for long trip with 4 people is not a problem at all. oil change and brakes are cheap
@kory jay For my C220, to have the gearbox serviced and the engine oil serviced at a Mercedes service station it costs ~£750, which is about $950 dollars
yes you pay in the mercedes garage 870 euros yess, i pay it too, but mc oil changes for 110euros with filter :D yeah, you must search before you begin to live :)
i bought a W205 4matic 9gear autobox got now 200k kms on the clock, had no issues with it. if you go to a maindealership the maintenance is not to expensive, my volvo @ the maindealership was more expensive than my merc. Quality on my W205 is very good, sound deadenning is best in class. also, i could fit 3 adults on the back seat if you are not to big it will work just fine.
@@ronmays5036 he is exaggerating like all of the Mercedes - Benz sedans are the same theirs no point in only calling out the C300, and I'm not saying that the C300 is bad at all.
I have 17 amg c300 and it's not adjustable suspension . They got ride of that 2014 unless you option it. And I gotta say so far at 44K this little 2.0T goes 400miles a tank and drives smooth it's a bit bouncer them you would think for a Mercedes but the result of that is takes bumps well
You're complaining about the back seat space but you've bloody for the front seat all the way back and the rest of your points were just straight up bullshit, like I just want to know why tf did he have to replace 3 wheels? Does he not know how to drive? And if you can afford to buy this car, you'll be able to afford it's service and part bills and it does not cost 500-700 for a oil change. Like this could have been a decent video but you just need it up big time
A) it's a Mercedes. Off course it's expensive. That's why everyone wants one. B) High Power is better handled with stiff shocks. If can't afford the airride, u kinda gonna life with it. C) get an t-modell E-class when u need space in the back D) understandable E) crackels and popps? Can someone get him a Ford, he doesn't understand merc's.
Jeez, dude. What's wrong with you?! C class is a very good car. If it's too small for you, buy yourself an E instead. I got lots of different cars: the Audi A4, Volvo V40, and V70, Mercedes A-class and E-class, VW Passat, etc. Merc was and still is the best of all that I’ve owned. I have almost 300k km and works like a charm. The Interior is basically as new. No cracks whatsoever. And yes, if you don't like it, sell it to someone who will appreciate it. And your rims are not Maybach 22” so don't tell me it costs $1000 per rim.
When I bought it I was so happy, it was c250 premium plus estate, high spec, airmatic ,but. For no reason my satnav screen started constantly rebooting for no reason. It was sorted. Then sound on radio disappear. That was it. I’m moving back to BMW. I had many of them different models and spec. Never have any kind of issues.

My mom and me have been using our 2015 C300 4 matic since 2017. Pot holes are loud, but it drives good. Maintenance can be a little pricy, but it is to be expected for a Mercedes. We got lifetime oil change for $600. It can be sporty when you need it to. It can also get near 30mpg on eco mode if you drive modestly. We bought the car for $38k at dealership. Make sure you get a color you like, because my mom wanted white, but my dad convinced her to settle for the gray since it was the cheapest car there. That is why she rated it 5/10 😂. Great functionality: Music sounds great, comfy seat adjustments, simple yet effective car. Other than the pricy maintenance, I think it is a overall great car! 8/10
Reliability?

Just to clear out. #1:10. The oil changes and services are very simple and great deals since you only have to get done every 10-12k or 20k mileage. Service A = every 12 months or 12k mil, service B is every 24 months or 20k mil. In addition Service A is $250 to $500 depending on the model & year. Service B is $400 to $900.

Coming from someone that works at Benz, This is a reliable car, As far as Comfort level, It does ride kind of rough with this AMG package, Which includes lower damped suspensions and 19 inch wheels with Low pros on them, my advise to you If you're tall and usually ride with 3 other tall/big people, Then get an E class buddy.
Yeah just my thought... There's so much missunderstanding going on in this video. If you listen to him it's hilarious, he's complaining about comfort and then about lack of sportiness... wtf. He clearly bought the wrong car ...
Any way to make the suspension more dampening? Comfortable?
I've got one, amazing car
Looking for a way to make it more comfortable
Had no idea the amg rode so stiff before buying
@@amsams3941 without replacing? I‘d say not much, you can put 17 or 18“ rims with „higher“ tires on, that’s pretty much all you can do.
If you have the adaptive damping system it might be possible to play around with the settings internally but you’ll need someone who can do that.
Ik this car is reelable but no one who works for mercades is gonna go “this shiz is trash” imaooo
The c class is pretty small tho especially the older the w205 is a bit bigger but doesn’t offer a lot of room compared to a E class or S class even a Honda Accord has better room than the c class but idk why the dude saying it’s expensive when getting a Benz
You're right about space.

The C-Class is made for young driver's. It's designed for young families. Seats two full size adults up front and children or small teens in the back. If you have larger people, the E-Class is perfect. If you have larger people that are elderly or have leg injuries, I'd recommend the S-Class due to the high foot well door seals and B-Pillar.
S class for elderly? Hell nah they can take the bus I don’t care I ain’t spending that much for em
@@lgtv8526 The S-Class in my opinion is really for business use. When you purchase something like an S-Class using tax code 179 and able to write off other expenses, it's a very good option. Business use such as chauffeur, security detail, or special occasions such as weddings or public official use. The S-Class has a purpose as being the best sedan money can buy including Rolls Royce, Bentley or even the Maybach which is also a Mercedes.
The S-Class and Mercedes in general are the safest driver's cars today. They have the highest survivability for drivers in case of an accident.
Old people on buses is actually dangerous. Those vehicles provide very little protection and safety. I've seen Mercedes hit by tractor trailers and the occupants walk away with only cuts from glass.
Also if a owner uses FCP Euro for said S-Class, expenses are lowered further due to their lifetime guarantee on parts and no high dealership markup. Mercedes of Annapolis charges +400% on some parts 🤦🏾♂️

I wasn’t satisfied at the beginning (noises were nearly unbearable), but now that the problem is nearly solved I’m ok with the remaining ones, it’s not a Rolls Royce or an S Class (but if they weren’t able to reduce them I would have sold the car, considering that I had to wait 9 months for the car to be produced).

Your complaints are invalid because you are uninformed and naive. You know nothing about Mercedes-Benz. You need to do your research before you criticize the car and rant your complaints about things you don’t know about or understand. Just because you evaluated this one particular model only, this specific C400 4MATIC variant, your negative opinions and criticisms of the “problems” of this one specific model does not represent the C-Class in general, or the entire Mercedes-Benz product lineup, or the Mercedes-Benz marque, nor does it validate your stern advice to “never buy a Mercedes-Benz C-Class.”
1. You complained about the hard ride. The reason that this car has hard shocks and a stiff ride is because it is equipped with optional the “AMG Sport Package,” identified on this car by the lower chrome trim “lip” on the front air dam below the front bumper and the AMG 19” multi-spoke alloy wheels. It is optional. A buyer can choose either to equip the vehicle with the AMG modification or not. Or choose to buy the specific AMG high-performance variant or not. The optional “AMG Sport Package” is for fast, sporty, spirited and aggressive high-performance driving. It is a firm AMG sport-tuned suspension, consisting of firm springs, firm shocks, and thicker sway bars, all positioning the chassis in a lower center-of-gravity stance, along with the AMG 19” multi-spoke alloy wheels with the low profile high-performance tires for quick, high-speed handling and road-hugging manners in tight curves without squirming or side body sway, much like a European bred race car. The Mercedes-Benz C-Class sales brochure has printed a disclaimer that specifically states that there will be a “degradation of ride quality and comfort with the AMG Sport Package in addition to the 18” and 19” wheels in conjunction with the low profile tires.” So there you have it. So, for those who are not “sporty drivers,” and desire a smoother, softer ride, then the best choice is to buy the standard C-Class without the “AMG Sport Package” and to avoid the entire specific AMG line, like the C43 and C63.
2. You complained about the insufficient interior space. Although it’s not a small car by any means, the C-Class is designed and classified as a compact car for compact people of short to average stature. If more interior space is desired for taller folks, Mercedes-Benz also offers the larger E-Class and S-Class, which are the appropriate choices. No car model is a “one-size-fits-all” design, so if the shoe fits, wear it, if it doesn’t, then select another size. This applies to all cars (and clothes) regardless of the manufacturer. You would be better informed if you do your homework and get all the facts and specifications first, before criticizing. The Mercedes-Benz sales brochures will explain and specify everything.
3. You complained about the “crackles and pops.” Again, this is because it’s an AMG model. My C300 has a 2.0 liter 4 cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 241 horsepower and it does not do this. It accelerates briskly, purrs smoothly and quietly because it’s not an AMG model. So if the “crackles and pops” are annoying, then skip the AMG variant.
4. You complained about the high maintenance costs. The high costs of parts and service is to be expected and it goes with the territory in a Mercedes-Benz or any prestigious luxury car. The dealer offers an available service agreement contract to waive price increases for parts and service during the life of the contract. (usually in either a 2 or 3 year contract and is renewable). If you are complaining about the high costs of parts and service, then a Mercedes-Benz is not for you. This car is way out of your league and you cannot afford to own one. It is, what it is.
Mercedes-Benz is no stranger to me. I know these facts because I am a multiple repeat owner and I currently own a 2014 C250 also. I also previously owned a 1989 300E and a 2004 E500, so I am very familiar and satisfied with my past experiences with this marque.
No car model is perfect for everyone, but as for me, the C300 is the best choice for my family and me, so I bought the standard C300 without the “AMG Sport Package” and it rides smoothly and comfortably. It’s a great ride. I’m happy with it and I have no regrets. The Best (for me) or nothing! 👍
Yup. Would never get the 'sport package' again. Had it on a convertible and had to sell because I thought it rode sooo bad. Still agree that the C series is overpriced and underperforms, especially if you are not under 5'7". The 4 doors are great for 50+ ladies who are small with small friends. E class or nothing!!
@@markgeller5900 , Yup, the C-Class Coupe and Cabriolet (convertible) are considered to be 2-door “sport” models, so therefore, they are most certainly equipped with the “AMG Sport Package,” 19” wheels and low-profile tires as standard equipment, whereas the Saloon (4-door sedan) models are “family” models offering the “AMG Sport Package” as an option. Same goes for the E-Class Saloon and the S-Class Saloon as well.

I have the same car in white. I’ve had minimal problems. It’s been the best ride I’ve had. As far as service out of warranty take to your mechanic. The oil changes are basically the same except for brake exchanges.
You’re 100% correct about the cost of parts. That’s why I purchased a factory extended warranty for 7 years/100,000 miles with zero deductible. It’s a complete extension from where the 4 year leaves off. I live in the NY area and dealers would always offer specials on oil changes $99 tax. You don’t have to take it to the dealer. You can even do it yourself. Just keep the receipts. As for the wheels/tires you can purchase a warranty for those too. I personally, avoid at all cost those super low profile tires and wheels so I don’t buy it. You can get factory wheels, barely used for under $1K. eBay, Mercedes benz forums……..I’ve had 3 new Mercedes and none of them gave me any problems. Then I purchased one of the first 2019 BMW M5’s and was nothing but problems. Hired, at no cost to me, a lemon law attorney and make a long story short, had BMW take the car back and let me order another one after a year.
Not really. Like, he complains about replacing a wheel for $1000, but the car has 4 AMG wheels on it. You could have gotten a much cheaper wheel from Mercedes, and certainly from an aftermarket.supplier. A lot of other non-luxury brands are nearly as expensive when it comes to parts and service.
parts for mercedes is chep
Haha wtf?! Every time "he" has to replace a rim it's $1000. 🤣 Who goes about replacing rims like they're tires?!?!

If you can’t afford the maintenance why did you even buy a Mercedes?
Indeed
Says alot about the value of the car doesn't it. What a waste of money.
Facts!! but tbh the maintenance on Mercades aint as bad as people make it out to be, granted it really depends on what model you have... if you can do a few things on your own youll save a bunch as well...
You don't have to go to a Mercedes dealership to get maintenance done. If you truly believe you have to spend 300 for an oil change just get a Corolla.
Funny dude, but the issue with leg room in the back is very valid (for a 1999 C200). I am 6'3 and have my seat back a fair way, and there is no way an adult would fit behind me (unless i move my swat forward so i am a bit cramped). About as much leg room as being in the back of my Kia Proceed GT which is a coupe.
So how do you want to receive your lawsuit from mercedez benz by mail or by attorney?
$700 oil change? Bro you must not be looking, Grease pro does my 2017 c300 for $180. Still very expensive, but you trippin if you paying $700 for an oil change

This review is a joke.
I have a 350E Mercedes, and the cost of maintenance has been extremely low. After four years, nothing expensive. Oil changes are around $150 every 10K miles. Brake flush minimal cost. Brakes have thus far lasted 50K miles and no light has come on to change the pads. My Mercedes has been less costly than my previous Lexus and Honda Accord.
Yes, the hard shockabsorbes killing me too!!

My first warranty came with complimentary maintenance for 3 years and the ONLY thing they did was an oil change and a wash and vacuum. No rotating wheels or changing filters. When I purchased my second one Mercedes did away with complimentary maintenance and the same technician told me I was due for the A service and I looked at him and said, “Eric, really?” Give me just the oil change. It’s once a year and $100. They use Mobil one full synthetic.

The plastic tick noise likely isn't the console, it's probably the sway bar and stabilizer links needing replacement. The only time I hear the console squeak is if I press on it which makes no sense to do unless you're cleaning it. It's like that to help with the environment 🤷🏾♂️
If you want to get rid of the sounds for good. Purchase foam from the dollar store. Use a console remover tool, takes like 5 min to remove. Either use double sided tape, adhesive or glue to paste thin strips of foam on the back of the console trim. About a 30min to 1hr job to do the whole car.
Have me 2011 c300 it currently has 250,000 miles everything I’ve worked on my own and done on my own. One you realize how affordable it really is and places just over charge for being a Mercedes’ only main issue I’ve had was the steering wheel lock going out on me and not letting me start the car at all. The shop quotes me $2k to fix I bought I little motor for the steering wheel lock for $8 off eBay and fixed it myself in less than 3 hours with basic tools. This care is great BUT this is the 6cylinder model that I have. Newer models use a 4cyl. Turbo which is a shame becouse turbos give out and 4cyl don’t last as long

Have my c300 for over 5 years. Never had any problems besides wheels are staggered. Which means to different size tires in the front wider ones in the back. They ones in the back don’t last that long. You are correct on the things u don’t like , but you forgot the things all Mercedes owners love. Dependable if you upkeep maintenance. The steering is second to none. German made steering. Horsepower in sports mode excellent. As far as cost for oil change. Of course if you go to the dealership they will hand you a jar of Vaseline and tell you to bend over. I go to a regular not super fancy mechanic. And he does maintenance 60-70% less than what the dealership charges.

I see this everyday at the dealer, as soon as the warranty expires people already trade the car for something cheaper, if you dont got the money to mantain a Mercedes Benz, don't even bother, now if you want something premium, don't get a C class, either get an S class or AMG models and guess the owner had to changed 3 rims because the way he drives. Mercedes tends to have low profile tires since its a luxury brand so its not the same as driving a nissan or a honda

Does he not know how to drive? And if you can afford to buy this car, you'll be able to afford it's service and part bills and it does not cost 500-700 for a oil change. Like this could have been a decent video but you just need it up big time
A) it's a Mercedes. Off course it's expensive. That's why everyone wants one.
B) High Power is better handled with stiff shocks. If can't afford the airride, u kinda gonna life with it.
C) get an t-modell E-class when u need space in the back
D) understandable
E) crackels and popps?
Can someone get him a Ford, he doesn't understand merc's.
One of his points is literally that the normal C class doesnt sound as good as an AMG version, like, ofc, thats why the AMG is more expensive...
Jeez, dude. What's wrong with you?! C class is a very good car. If it's too small for you, buy yourself an E instead.
I got lots of different cars: the Audi A4, Volvo V40, and V70, Mercedes A-class and E-class, VW Passat, etc. Merc was and still is the best of all that I’ve owned. I have almost 300k km and works like a charm. The Interior is basically as new. No cracks whatsoever. And yes, if you don't like it, sell it to someone who will appreciate it. And your rims are not Maybach 22” so don't tell me it costs $1000 per rim.
When I bought it I was so happy, it was c250 premium plus estate, high spec, airmatic ,but. For no reason my satnav screen started constantly rebooting for no reason. It was sorted. Then sound on radio disappear. That was it. I’m moving back to BMW. I had many of them different models and spec. Never have any kind of issues.
