 Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value  Fuel Economy (city/hwy)   The least expensive Mercedes-Benz is a new hatchback called the 2002 C-Class Sports Coupe. Sleek styling, a fun, supercharged four cylinder and a fine, road-handling suspension make this a very popular Mercedes, indeed.Read Full Review More 2002 C-Class ReviewsOther C-Class ReviewsUser ReviewsThe community thinks...

Overall review:
I've bought this car used (8-year old) and owned for more than 2 years.
The front suspension required the work from the beginning and it cost me a fortune to fix it.
Condenser in A/C was replaced after 1 year ($600 in No-name garage. Otherwise, at the dealer, it would be $900 - $1200).
2 the same oxygen sensors were replaced within 2 years.
Sensors in gas evaporation and in the A.I.R. systems were causing almost permanent headache.
The paint is awful in this car: rusty spots almost everywhere.
Reliable but but very economical engine (2.3L in my car), especially taking in account that it requires a premium gas.
It was a mistake to buy this car.
IMHO, don't buy low class used Mercedes (like B- or C-classes). Buy a brand new, or the higher class used one!
