    Are there problems or repair expenses to be aware of when buying a 2014 Mercedes-Benz C250

    Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-Benz Advice Mercedes-Benz C-Class Mercedes-Benz C-Class Advice Mercedes-Benz C-Class 2014

    I’m looking to buy a 2014 Mercedes C250. There seem to be a lot for sale with 130,000km on the clock. Is there likely to be a large repair expense due around this time?

    The service intervals for this model were every 15,000km or 12 months, so the fact that so many for sale have the same mileage showing is more likely to be a coincidence or the fact that at 10 years of age, most owners have been covering the national average of about 13,000km per year.

    Some cars that need timing belt replacements often hit the second-hand market all together as the owners try to avoid the cost of this, but the engine in your car has a timing chain which should be good for the life of the vehicle.

    Other factors contributing to the pack-trade-in phenomenon include psychological barriers like a mileage of 100,000km recorded and the age of the car. In this case, the car’s 10th birthday might be the catalyst for the mass selling.
