2006 C230 sport 160 000 miles
Im proud to be amongst this level of class. I bought 2.5 weeks ago a beautifully clean 2006 230 C Sport with 160,000 miles for $4800. It looks and feels brand new until.. Today! it has always felt as if it pulls back or down on me the engine feels heavy but ive been told im just not use to Mercedez yet. I drive 1 block from my home and the car felt a bit stranger than usual it then began to act as if it were jumping a bit or wanted to die. I shut it off and checked under the hood I came to find a discouraging situation oil in the water resevore. The guy that sold me the car had a bunch of things serviced b4 i got it. Ive driven it less than 500 miles and only 1 tank of gas and this occurs. Whats happening to my car already and can I return this car to him claiming its a piece of sh*t or is this fixable and normal. Any help would be super good.

Welcome, as above sounds like a head gasket in which case you’d be best getting your money back!

Hi Von, welcome to the forum. Sadly I think the answer you are looking for is in the previous postings. Sorry to hear that but hopefully you will be back again as an MB owner

Hi Von and welcome to the forum. I'm guessing you’re not in the UK so good luck with getting your money back depending on what your local law says.
