Built like a rock... - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By armano - August 19 - 2:00 amEverthing is solid. Doors close solid. Ride is tight and solid. Even the rear view mirror is solid. Great build quality! Only problems are with electricals. AC quit, so it went to dealer for repair. Three times. They did everything under the sun to repair. Recharge, replace, test, re-test. Finally, it came down to the dash mounted AC on/off switch. Gas gauge also goes wacky now and again, shows empty. Restart the car and it has corrected itself so far.

Mercedes WunderKind - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By Satisfied280Owner - September 29 - 10:00 amNimble, lightfooted and mroe fun that its predecessor, the 190E2.6, the C280 is an amazing blend of practicality and constrained performance. Not quite up to the standards of its AMG relations, the C280 nonetheless can MOVE out of its own way without the long windup that dogged the 190E family. The fold down rear seats, four doors, and seating make you think youre going to get into a luxoslug, but once behind the wheel, the combination of the increased power of the 280 engine, compled with the adaptive transmission and a superb electronic stabilization package make the C280 agile responsive, and genrally a hoot to drive.

Bought new and still sold on it! - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By paul_p - July 12 - 10:00 amThe car has been very fun to drive and reliable! It is a second car, so I do not drive it in the New England winters due to road salt, ice, etc. If you want ultimate reliability, get a Toyota. My previous car was a 1995 C-220 that was slow. This 2000 Kompressor Sport Special Edition (two-tone leather seats) model is a rocket, with lots of torque to climb hills or pass. Even at partial throttle it goes like a scalded cat! It also has MBs reputation, class, and styling to boot. Hope you are fortunate enought to find a good deal on one of these.

Car of a lifetime - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By vinman - December 10 - 8:06 pmI wanted a Benz since I was 6. Now 50 I just got my first! Scale of 1 to 10 this car is a 12.5 we love it yes it has its quirks but all cars to. Fast super comfy handles like a dream solid as a rock. Gotta admit the Germans build the best production cars in the world. Being a mechanic and owner of numerous Ford Chevy, Chrysler and the lot . I gotta hand it to them this car is hot . I only paid 8000 dollars for it. It has 87,000 miles on it. I expect it will run forever. Tk you mr Benz we are very happy with it.

Lots of Bang for the Buck - 2000 Mercedes-Benz C-Class
By TravelinMan - May 26 - 10:00 amI just picked up a 2000 C280 Sport with 48K miles. I have driven it over 1000 miles and really like the car. I had a 1997 C280 prior, and the car is MUCH more refined. The Sport Package is a must in my opinion if you do any spirited driving. I think it really improves the looks as well. My only beef is that the Motorola Cell Phone built in the car is outdated and nothing is updated from Mercedes for it. The car handles crisply and makes a fun commuter car. I am averaging about 25 in the city and close to 30 on the highway. Good luck...a Benz is never just another car.
