Used 2008 Mercedes-Benz C-Class for Sale near Chicago, IL
The Mercedes-Benz C-Class cars, first produced in the summer of 1993 as a replacement for the Mercedes-Benz 190 models, are affordable mid-sized vehicles designed to attract new entrants into the luxury automobile market. Now on its fourth generation, which was unveiled in early 2007 in Germany and New York, the C-Class has seen major updates over its history, but began as a four-door sedan with rear-wheel drive and a choice of a 2.2-liter, four-cylinder or a 2.8-liter, six-cylinder engine.
In its early years, the C-Class was often called the Baby Benz, since it was smaller than the mid-range E-Class and upscale S-Class vehicles. But that term has largely gone by the wayside, as with each generation the C-Class line has expanded and grown more powerful. Originally available only as coupes and sedans, C-Class vehicles soon came to include sport coupes, wagons, hatchbacks, and all-wheel-drives, as well as high-performance vehicles with engines and bodywork by AMG, Mercedes' in-house sport tuner. In addition, Mercedes has expanded the line in other directions by introducing new vehicles, such as the CL and CLK cars, which are built on the C-Class platform and incorporate many C-Class components.
The C-Class vehicles are known for their sophisticated lines, smooth ride, comfortable interior suitable for day-long rides, and innovative technology.
The culmination of the line is the 2008 C-Class, which is larger, sportier, safer, and more luxurious and comfortable than its predecessors. The new C-Class is being offered in two models, a Sport Sedan and a Luxury Sedan. To tell the difference between the two, you can just look for the star.
The two new models are distinguished by their front grilles, with the 2008 Sport Sedan getting the Mercedes star positioned centrally in the grille, and the Luxury Sedan receiving the traditional grille treatment, with the Mercedes star mounted on the front of the hood.
The new C-Class models are powered by a variety of V6 engines and come standard with eight-way power front seats, a power sunroof, a new instrument cluster, two-zone automatic climate control, and a 100-watt audio system, as well as 17-inch wheels and such new features as an Agility Control suspension system.

(77 reviews)This car is perfect, I love it, it has everything in the right places, the interior finishing, handling, braking system, yo there's nothing I'm not satisfied with, if I am to get another car, it definitely will be another mercedes.
Great breaking, acceleration is good enough to pass most cars on the freeway, handling is fine, steering wheel is stiffer and doesn't snap back as quick as, say Toyota/Lexus, but i'm fine with it. build quality overall is great, consider the C300 a baby S-class, with a smaller COMAND system, and slightly cheaper materials. Appearance is also great, I always get compliments on my car, and i really should wash it more. Cost of ownership: relatively low, aside from the free service that i got from Mercedes-Benz, i have over 9,000 miles in less then a year, and i've gotten a flat tire, which cost me about 300 at the dealer. Gas mileage for me is 19.5, bear in mind i usually drive in the city, but have taken it on two roadtrips. fun factor? fun enough, 6-speed automatic shifts nicely, and you can switch from a standard mode (starting on 2nd), or Comfort, (starting on 1). i would recommend this car for those who want a more luxury/compact-executive sport sedan. compare to: Lexus IS (i would avoid the bmw 328 or infiniti g37 comparison, since imo, they are for a different buyer)
I bought the C300 4 Matic, black on black with P2, multimedia package, This car is cool! Although I would like to have a bit more hp, but living in Boston, Multimedia package is great, Harmon Kardon sound system is fantastic. Average gas mileage is about 20 but mostly city driving. Very smooth ride, nice acceleration, steering is responsive. with the 4Matic I can go everywhere
Another temporary rental car. This was my first Mercedes experience. It is a very good car on all levels. The road holding is excellent. It brakes well and turns round corners with dedication, although I might add with a certain response time. That would be acceptable if the comfort would be exquisite, but it wasn't. That actually surprised me, because it was an elegance and not a sporty avantgarde! The ride is very 'German', but the seats make up for a large part because they're so brilliant. This is not my kind of comfort, I prefer the French softer way of seeing things. So if that's the comfort version, I'll have a sporty one, please. PS: the Comand system is terrific!
There is not a single thing I don't like about this car. Yes it is a tad slower than the BMW 335i but on the luxury side it is much better. the 335i is much too harsh while the Benz is really the best of performance with Luxury. The audio system and the iPod integration are amazing and they also really did a superior job on Bluetooth integration. Mine has the 18inch AMG wheels and the panoramic roof even today people on the streets are stopping to look at it. Really my best car up to now.
