 I must admit this is by far the worst 
car I have ever bought. I must add that 
the Mercedes-Benz customer service 
depertment in New Jersey is not much 
better, actually they need to call 
it "Cusatomer Avoidance". Very poor 
attention to customer needs. My 
engine's top end (Head) blew at about 
13,000 miles. After extensive research 
on MY part, I found MB knew anout the 
issue and sent no service bulletine to 
the field nor was a recall deployed to 
get these bad engines back. My car has 
been in the shop for 68 days now and I 
still have no date at to getting it 
back. My suggestion to a possible buyer 
of a C230, is to go buy a Japaneese 
car!!!!! I wish I had....
