Mercedes C180 1993 Customer Review
I have to say that comparing this car I have nothing to – this is my first car, with the exception of 2115 and vases Daewoo Nexia, which I had to learn in driving school (drive on these cars for a while, it was decided not to consider them as bidder).
Thus, the budget of 3800 dollars…
The first car was seen a lot of cars … really wanted to take Merc’s 80 … drive on a 123 body came to the conclusion that the machine is obsolete and the status they have, well, not really. In good condition are under 200. 124 – the same story. BMW E30 watched that in real good condition are worth about 150. It was finally decided to take the most lively and most recent cars that could be bought for my budget. As a result, had to choose from Toyota Corolla 1997 Mazda 323 1998. Cars beat inspected, tested the service … and jerked me something to run through again declare Meursault … and already watched the 202nd body.
And “C180 Sport, 1993, 150tys. rub., bargaining …. ” On a call, it became clear that all in good condition and only require investment thresholds. He came, looked, rolled across the parking lot … everything seems fine, the service did not go. Audio works, no kernel panics, starts with a half-turn, the box includes a clear, suspension does not crackle. Gnilovatye thresholds does not bother me, figured that it is not too expensive, also planned in the near future the supply of money. Decided – MY! Bargain and agreed to the 120 + insurance and registration – 10. After 2 days, went to restructure, the same day the car was in the new rooms.
Bought, filled the tank and went … And so it began … until he reached home, found a few nuances. The brakes worked like a really poorly when braking machine is heavily nod. Occurred when starting a twitch and a dip in the speed (later remarked that during heating strongly swim speed). Car thrown from side to side … because of bald tires. With brakes and tires decided to take the time to go yet so … slowly. After 6 days in the wet went to omit the Qashqai … not much: two lamps (4.5), bonnet (5.6 + 5 painting), grating (1), TV (1.8). Bumper so far did not touch it, and the radiator had to throw kondeya – struck him (though the compressor, as it turned out, did not work).
As a result, has not yet solved all the problems, the car did not go out of service. It turned out that the rear calipers are acidified and pads worn to the metal (ie car slowed down only the front brakes). Bulkhead calipers, new pads, Brake. drives, repair kits and brake calipers something to trifle with the work resulted in 10 thousand. Twitch when starting – timing chain replacement + pacifier, tensioner, gasket – parts and replacement of approximately 7 thousand new rubber tire Omsk – 10 thousand with pereobuvkoy. Oil, candles, a brush wiper + 4 th with the replacement. 45 thousand, thresholds, and is still there.
But after began a detailed familiarity with the car and its driving characteristics: the machine is more responsive to the gas pedal. The engine was quite spirited for a volume of 1.8. If you ride one, it is enough. Although the engine and turn well to 6 thousand, awarding you a decent dynamics, his appetite be healthy! In dynamic driving 14 liters per 100km. n + 1 liter of oil for 5000 km. (For 1.8 is, in my opinion, bust). After replacing the tire stopped the car to throw a party, has ceased to scour his nose at a set speed and general stability of the acquired engine. The force on the brake pedal is not much increased, but increased the effectiveness of the brakes at times (also ceased to nod when braking).
Now a few words about the car. Controllability is excellent, turning on the spot easily and without problems (the radius of less than 2115), review of an excellent, convenient mirrors, seats super! Salon simpleton, but comfortable … the only gripe is a small glove compartment and folding seats in the assembly Sport =(((. Programs surfing without lifting your hands from the armrest – very handy, do not really like dipped – to put it mildly, he was too weak = (((
5000 passed without any complaints and failures. But … after 3-4 thousand mileage was clearly reminded of his rear suspension creaking and deaf pat on potholes and streetcar tracks. While these do not intend to, but there needs to be changed some gum, that they have set about 3-4 thousand + recommended to replace all the levers it has 8 thousand Ah yes, the thresholds themselves … 7 thousand rapids + repair kit rear arches – 1.5, on the work of about 15 thousand I do not know what to do. The machine is good, just lovely! But somehow I got tired of it and go poking around constantly for more details.
