Dont do it unless it has full Merc history & standard with low milage.!
Otherwise youll be jumping out the pan & into the BIGTIME.!
Me M8 had from his grand parents,not a problem,then decided to get a blinged up amg...Nothing but agro & det followed...
Nows his got a disco

Once youve gone jap theres no turning back

Mercedes C-class...mmmm..depends on the vintage, but if he's swapping from a SWB T2 I'm guessing its an older one.

If thats the case, personally I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole myself. I had a brand new one when they first came out and it was so bad I sold it and bought a brand new Maverick!

Its the car that sank Mercs reputation for quality/reliability/longevity!
