To buy or not to buy?

[muzbaz]

Hi,

I am new to this forum and hope to find it the better choice to the others available to join

I am considering buying a C220 CDI Auto Estate, I have driven one and am happy with all it has to offer, my wife drives an SLK 230 Kompressor on an 03 plate, apart from the servicing it has only cost us for front springs, one of which was snapped, so we are very pleased with it.

Can anyone tell me of any problems with the C220 CDI engines or the auto transmission, for example the BMW 320d's have a problem with butterfly flaps that is easily rectifiable but if you don't the engine can go boom!

I see many out there with 200,000 on the clocks so assume they are well engineered, but would like to know if there are any horror stories,,

Many Thanks Muzbaz

They are pretty good these days,,always the odd one like in the above post, the 220cdi is probably the most popular in the
range.

Do not worry about the box on that year its the 722.6 and a great box been running since 06-96
