Going to take a shot here my guess is the C230 is the same body as the C280, 
but with the same 2.3 DOHC 4 thats in the SLK 230 Kompressor. Except that is 
not supercharged so reliability should be much better. Don't know what maint. 
costs would be, but mileage should be around low 20's for city to low to mid 
30's on the highway. The rest depends on how well it was maintained by the 
owner

A friend of mine is interested in the above 4 cylinder gasser. Heard I was a 
MB guy.  I told him I know only about 1970-1980 diesels but maybe the group 
has had some understanding of these. Does any one have a bead on
1. Maint costs on these
2. Gas mileage
3. Any bad actor parts/things which may haunt him/her
