the qc on merc dropped when daimler benz acquired chrysler and became daimler chrysler. chrysler's near bankruptcy made merc to skim on its qc! now the merc's are coming back with the w204 c-class, which i told my dad is a better buy. even the c&c dealership , ipoh motors, tell me that the w203 c-class has wiring harness problems, that must be replaced at 100k km, imagine the costs!

that im not sure, but i heard needs to be replaced at 100k km, maybe its a one time thing, maybe the c-class was flawed, lol

W124 parts ofcaz still have new ones...
it's a german car makers policy that they'll supply the spareparts for a minimum of years even the car stop produce i think...
30years?correct me if i'm wrong..
