So, I boughted this beauty, 1994 Mercedes C220 2.2 CDI "Elegance" with automatic gearshift and with 240.000 km from a friend. What are your thoughts about this car /o/? Will be there any negative effects because of it's age in the future? (Mine is stainless right now and has a protection against rust on the chasis). That's not mine in the pic.

You fucked up my man
Elegance is the lowest trim
Other than that, you're gonna be okay
decent DD assuming you paid ~1000€
Its an old car, it'll always be a bet
These cars rust, the wiring has a tendency to degrade over time thanks to some retarded design, they're a tad heavy for the suspension and like I said; they are old
On the other hand they are decently built with a very solid drivetrain, they drive nicely, parts are very easy to get a hold of and they're surprisingly simple to work on

>buying a mercedes with 240k km
I hope you know a lot about cars or else she's going to take you and your wallet for a spin.
Why the FUCK do people always ask about the car AFTER they bought it?!
>CDI
prepare your fucking boipussy for expensive as fuck injector problems.
the engine itself is bulletproof but the injectors are known to fuck up and it's easily a >1k euro job.

Are meme idiots though.
The injectors are a crux but otherwise these drove around with 700k on the clock as taxi.

you forgot the bio degradable wire harness insulation that can cause the car to catch fire while you're sleeping for benzes between 93 and 00

Also the high pressure fuel pump is like 1500€.
I have a 1998 C 180 base model. Only real problem it has is rust. Mine hasn't reached 150k km yet, but I hear these cars can do pretty high mileage if maintained well so you are probably fine.
Do check for rust regularly on the underside of the doors, on the boot lid, the wheel arches, the sills and the spring mounts and take action if you find any.
Special protip: The wiper motor on this car can fail if it's old and has never been greased. I regreased mine preemptively but it turned out the PO was a good boy and had already done it ;)
Apart from that, enjoy.
