2009 Volkswagen CC
05.02.09
I admit it. I am as guilty as anyone else. On first glance I dismissed the “coupe-like” Volkswagen CC sedan as just a cheap copy of the haute couture Mercedes-Benz CLS. I shouldn’t have been so quick to judge.
Yes, on paper and in person, the CC comes across as little more than a chop-top version of the VW Passat on which it is based; two inches shorter and not much longer or wider than its donor car. But it turns out that the smaller whole is much greater than the subtraction of its parts.
As is so often the case, photos do not fully capture the subtle grace of the CC’s design. Park it next to a Passat and you will spend the rest of the afternoon doing double-takes, trying to figure out how it could possibly look so much more dramatic given the nearly identical dimensions of the two. It’s not just the sloping roof, or the jutting front end, or even the deep character line carved into the side, but the harmony in which all of the elements have been brought together.

Are mercedes-benz quality cars? (asides from looking good). Ive heard that theyre pretty expensive to repair because the parts are expensive..
Is this car good and worth the $7000 theyre asking?

The 190 was a bulletproof car in it's day. The only problem you have is that it's old. Beware of potentially expensive problems: the transmission should shift smoothly, neither klunking into gear or flaring on changes. The engine needs a good check-out: compression, etc. Some of the less obvious high ticket things to look for: chassis rubber bushings, especially rear subframe mounts. These are easy enough to change if you have tools, skill, and patience. But they can be surprisingly expensive if you have to pay for labor. Driveline is coupled with rubber donuts rather than u-joints. If these are deteriorated, they should be replaced immediately, or costly damage will result. Tie rods: make sure the boots are good, even if they are sound. Again, very simple fix if you have the skills, but mechanic's bills can add up. Same for ball joints. Rust on any car is an important consideration. But this is a unibody car: if the sills are rusted, the body can lose integrity. Even if the rust has been cosmetically fixed, simply loading the sill with plastic will eventually cause structural failure. Finally, if this one has a self-leveling suspension, I'd pass unless it's been recently rebuilt: the self-leveling stuff is good for maybe 150K miles before it will need costly repairs.

How should I protect my Mercedes Benz at school?
Jan 12, 2009 by ruzhkata | Posted in Mercedes-Benz
OK so I'm junior in high School and I just got my first mercedes benz. It's not brand new but it's in excellent condition and i have a mercedes benz star emblem on the front hood. I'm afraid that someone might like it and may want to steal it. What should I do about it so I don't end up buying a new one?
They sell removable emblems. You can remove it every time you leave your car somewhere. Google "Mercedes emblem" or something like that and you'll find them. Some Mercedes dealers also sell them.
