C250 cdi advice

[Iggipoppop]

Hello newbie here!

I'm going to be joining the ranks of Mercedes ownership in the very near future, I'm looking at a 3 or 4 year old c250 cdi coupe but do have a couple questions I was hoping you could help with:

1. Is there anything I should be looking out for before buying?
2. How easy/much is it to fit a sat nav if it doesn't already have one?

Thanks in advance for your help

Nothing really to worry about, just look out for the usual leaks and noises. Make sure it has full MBSH and check when the fuel filter and ATF Change was done. (if it all)

2. How easy/much is it to fit a sat nav if it doesn't already have one?

It should have a set up already for Sat Nav in the form of Garmin, it's a little box you can buy that will fit in to a slot in the glove box. Failing that retro fitting a Sat Nav is do-able, there is a company called comandonline who can retrofit it for you. They have a sub forum here.

Thanks in advance for your help

As above, hope it helps.

Pretty bullet proof cars, find one with COMAND, much easier

I think from the 1st W204 facelift (Approx March 2011) pre wiring for the Becker map pilot is standard, the Map pilot box is £300/400 new but most people source from Ebay £100/200. System not as good as Command but perfectly ok for navigation use.

Retro fitting command will be very expensive best to find a car with it fitted as a factory option
