Asked by scooter051964 Jun 05, 2016 at 01:53 AM about the 2004 Mercedes-Benz C-Class C 240 4MATIC AWD Wagon

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

How reliable are these cars? Am I likely to need major repairs in next 2 years?
I have buddy that knows Mercedes but not 4wd. His thing is older Mercedes
early 80s late 70s. Car seems like real bargain at $4995 though have not
actually seen in person yet just pics.  How much would it cost to have
inspection service done on car? Are these cars bigger than a 2005 Outback
2.5I?

I would pass- 5 grand will buy a lot of car, and one that can be repaired easily in the U.S.- If I had the money, I would look for a nice 2005-2009 Mustang

AVOID Mercedes, BMW, Jaguar vehicles that are used unless a full written warranty is involved or you have lots of cash to burn. Parts and labor are extremely expensive on these vehicles and they are full of problems.
