Yeah, I just meant it's probably the best of the W202s, last model year, most powerful engine (if you don't get into the AMG models). On Wed, Sep 8, 2021, at 10:43 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > I thought the C class was *declasse* compared to E and S > > On Wed, Sep 8, 2021 at 10:13 PM Allan

Looks nice, top of the line 280 model (if you don't include the AMGs) with low miles but still 21 years old now. https://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/d/indianapolis-mercedes-benz-c280/7377594860.html This model would have had the V6-18V M112 not the I6-24V M104, per Wiki. Allan

If your budget supports it, I would spring for a German made 250G K Bluetec. I purchased mine with 132K+ miles and have had no major issues in 18 months. Beautifully made, quiet, handles great, and h'way fuel economy is off the charts (41 mpg). On Wed, Sep 8, 2021 at 11:29 AM Allan Streib via

164s are a lot more complex than a 163 for no particular benefit that I can see.  722.9 transmission (I presume this ML has one) that is more expensive to fix if it kakks, the 722.6 in earlier vehicles is quite strong.  The 164 is more "refined" not so much the body-on-frame "truck" like the
