[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Love Mercedes, but 2007 was not a good year. This was before Mercedes revamped their lineup after divorcing from Chrysler.

Here's a good video of a mechanic's take on Mercedes:

For a young person's first car, the W204 C-class is probably a good starting point. This model stayed in production for 8 years, from 2008 to 2014, with a major refresh in 2012.

My wife had a 2012 C300 and loved that car. Looks like plenty of those around for about $10k without a ton of miles.[/quote]

We had a 2011 w204 - it was bombproof - very simple car with non-turbo v6. Never did anything more than regular maintenance (oil, filters, brakes once). Lower miles than the OP is considering tho. Sold it for 12k early pandemic. I will say it was getting to feel very dated - very small inside given size of car, slow and thirsty. I loved how it looked, but it just stopped making sense. We had 3 cars tho and wanted rid of one so I didn’t buy anything else with the cash - it probably was a great car for the money…[/quote]
