By Darby - January 2 - 4:23 pmThis car will not wear out, took 95,000 miles to wear out battery, over 100,000 on second set of brake pads. Original trans, exhaust system. Org leather seats. Still looks good, just buzzes along , about 28 mpg on the road.

All the years from 94-00 look the same so no one knows what year it is. Great car would defenitely reccomend it!

It Saved My Life - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Chelsea P. - May 25 - 3:20 amI got in a bad accident just a few days ago while in my 96 Mercedes c220. I was at a gas station waiting to turn left. While I was waiting to pull out a semi came by that had tractor rims. One came loose, because of an insecured load and also the driver didnt notice the suv in front of him get ready to turn right into the gas station. 7rims bolted together that weighed 1,000 lbs each struck the driverside of my car and caved it in. The rim weighed at least 7,000 lbs (not including the momentum added) that not only crushed my side of the car but also pushed it and lifted it a good 20 ft. I have no idea how I made it out of there but I thank god that I did. It saved me

Nice Ride at a Price - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Volcalisa - July 19 - 2:00 amIve been driving MBs for the past 12 years. The C280 is an excellent ride and the MB warranty is very appropriate for a car that seems to have its share of problems. In the past 2 years Ive had 2 problems that had it not been for the warranty would have totally bankrupt me. One is the headgasket (which from what I hear is a common problem in the car) and the other was the gas tank gone bad. MB dealers are great. Awesome service and awesome car. I just wish it was more reliable.

One of the Family - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class

Benz Rules! - 1996 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Gene-O - October 25 - 10:00 amI caught this bright red beauty a year ago at a local Ford dealer for an awesome price and have never regretted the choice. Even though its "only" a 2.2 liter four, the performance is amazing. Fuel economy is 25 around town and Ive hit as high as 35 on the highway and average 30 overall. The only mechanical gripe is the Check Engine light which has been on and off since I bought it. The local MB dealer charged a single $37.50 diagnostic fee and has had it on the computer several times (at no additional charge!) but still cant figure out whats causing it. He drove it and pronounced it healthy so Ill live with it until he figures it out.
