Mercedes-Benz C-Class Sports Coupé (01-08) - Review

Review by Dan Harrison on
The C-Class Sports Coupe is an attractive alternative to the BMW 3-Series Compact - or more recently the BMW 1-Series. It was a bit if a break of tradition for Mercedes-Benz when it was launched in 2001. It was the first time that there had been a coupe in the line-up. It’s still a fresh-looking design, good to drive and has the kind of cachet three-pointed star buyers crave. As such it commands surprisingly high values on the used market. Even early, tatty examples will set you back more than you may expect.

Buying used

Reputation and factory back-up including 30 years of breakdown assistance make a Mercedes-Benz a tempting proposition. But prices remain high. Models with the Panorama roof (Glass that runs the length of the roof for a fresh outdoors-indoors cabin) command a small premium over models with a standard roof.

Selling

Although it's not as well known on the market as the saloon and estate, it still sells wells. That's due to its stylish looks, wide range of engines and reputation for quality. Models with a full Mercedes-Benz service history will command a premium over models without it.
