Not much! Hey...W204 also have squeaky suspensions over rough patch of road. Dash board also got rattling sound. Worst is sway to the left issue on most 204. Think come jan you can easily squeeze another 10 k from the dealer for 2014 models.
Lol....those bangla security guards at most hotels or rest let have the best parking spot most of the time Ler . I am not talking about valet parking. I see most of those jap or local make were asked to park basement or far away. Maybe I am lucky gua!

I have no experience with Mercs and thats why i came over here to get some insight.

Is there anything else that i should look into ?

Bump this thread......so quiet!

so what do merc drivers think of ssangyong drivers?

Plain copy cat

the other camp says they like it because it is based on the w124 which was a brilliant car but prefer to but a SY because it is newer than getting an 80's merc which would have alot of hidden problems or been thru an accident

80's Merc as in W123 or W124? Mind you Merc that were built back then were mostly over engineered. Reliability is top notch.

engineering is rock solid but parts age

Still you can't compare a Kimchi with the mighty German right?
If worrying about parts being expensive than Merc is not the right brand for you

buying a 1980 car in 2015 would roughly make that car 35 years old.
so no matter now well the parts are engineered and how good the quality the parts are they will age and have wear and tear.

so the malaysian used car market being as it is w124's between 1985-1991 is around 11k, and a 2001-2003 SY chairman is about the same price.

with both cars quite alike and have compatible parts between them, additionally older merc parts aren't crazy expensive so what would be going on in the mind of a buyer....

SY CM = 10 years wear and tear
W124 = 30 years wear and tear

or merc > all so just buy dun ask why

Totally agreed as my dad owned a124 before. Now my w204 a bit lite proton. Sounds everywhere! Only 36k in mileage and my gear box mounting has broken and need to be replaced! Thank god I am with 4 years warranty!

Garmin installed in C200 doesnt seem helpful, a lot of addresses not found in the system. Can anyone enlighten on this matter?

using Waze, relatively free with updated maps and traffic info.

you can consider to install an old ipad into your car

Guys need help here. Currently driving CLA200. Anyone know where to look for high-quality replicas AMG bodykit? Found the rims.

Consulted with Hap Seng and it will cost me 30-40k for original bodykits. No point spending that much on the exterior tbh.
