anyone letting go their c200 , c250 FL model?

U are talking about E class Ler!  Cklass is w204!

Hi everyone,

I'm asking to service my car E300 bluetec hybrid for 1st time. Which service centers around klang valley is the best? Thanks.

Hi All,

I hope this would be a good & fair forum for me to inquire about purchasing a merc.

My brother currently has a 2nd hand W210 and is now thinking of a possible upgrade. Problem is he is a little fickle minded. So i am trying to help him out with the experts from here.

His first thought is to get s W221 within the budget of 150K which hopefully can come with as many bells & whistle as it can like the media & sound system as well as the built in phone. So anyone know a good location to get 1 from? Also what should be the key things to look for to help ensure its a good buy. its been a lot of work trying to navigate around so much info related to this car yet not find the right answers

The 2nd option my brother is toying with is to maybe get 2 cars - a W220 & W211.

From what i have been reading (and i could be wrong) seems like the W220's airmatic is more of an issue as many ask questions on replacing it. Is it true that in the W220 this is a key pain point? Also how about the electronics?

I also noticed there does not seem to be any S280L. Was the LWB only with the 320?

On the W211 - what would be the key things to look out for? Btw the cabin space is smaller then the W210 right? or is it just me feeling so?

Really hope to get some good insights from the sifus here.

Thanks for this feedback. So far was not able to find a good W211 yet
Just to update and get additional feedback. Saw a W221 model this afternoon. It is a S300L year 2007 with a mileage of approx 80K. Found a workshop in Gombak that could check the car. He found that there was no electronic concern but there was leaking oil and the compressor was louder then it should be indicating a possible issue. Few other parts as well were a problem but fixable. The rear tires were worn and need to be replaced. The rear dust cover for the airmatic was totally torn. But driving the car there is no sound or knocking to be heard.

The Mechanic said it is fixable based on what he can see with an approx cost of RM5- 6K. This does not include the tires & airmatic dust cover replacement which apparently is not possible since it normally comes as an entire set.

as for the bluetooth settings and phone sync up it seems like only C&C can do it and i was able to speak to a technician from the C&C in batu caves that says it would most likely need an update only and the cost of this check can be about RM300/hour. So he recommends to do the whole car check for about RM1K

So would this car be worth the effort to have it fixed up with the knowledge we have now of its condition? The sale Price of course will have to be reduced due to the work that would need to be done.
