96 C180 Model?

[Guest klcc]

Hi Fellow SGMercs,

Does anyone owns a COE Year-96 C180?

Is it worthwhile or how does it compares with E200 W124 model (say 93-94 Yr)?

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd Car for my wife.

Any advise welcome.

Thanks,

KLCC

hi KLCC (hmmm long time no go to the place ;D)

frist welcome to the club.

W124(16V) as compared with C180-W202(16V)

IMHO I would go for W124, no doubt W202 is slightly newer

but its has more electronics than the W124.

W124 got slightly more power than the W202(hope i'm right, haven't check the stats yet)

and W124 is even more sturdy than W202.

Yes, I agreed.

Unfortunately, my wife's frame is pretty petite.

In a W124, you can almost miss her as the driver...esp now 7th month...

At least, in a C180 model, she is still visible...

Cheers, Kevin.

Its quite true, W202 is more suited for ladies as compared to W124

its more femine(sorry to those ladies driving W124, just IMHO)

go for it, C180 W202 ,some more cheaper Taxes!!

KLCC, You could also look at getting a good condition W201 190E.

That's a really compact and comfortable car to drive which is also a hit with the ladies.
