Our take on this /// Verdict

The Mercedes C-Class Diesel C250 CDI from 2010 is a solid choice for those seeking a blend of performance, efficiency, and luxury. However, it comes with some caveats. The engine, while powerful and efficient, has known issues with fuel injectors, particularly the earlier models which can suffer from injector failures due to worn copper seals. Despite these issues, many owners have reported satisfactory performance and fuel economy, with some averaging around 48 mpg on mixed routes and over 60 mpg on motorway runs. If youre considering this model, ensure it has been well-maintained, and ideally, look for cars with updated Piezo or magnetic solenoid injectors. An independent specialist mechanic can be invaluable in maintaining this vehicle.

Price

In India, the 2010 Mercedes C-Class Diesel C250 CDI is typically available in the used car market. The ex-showroom price for a new C250 CDI back in 2010 would have been around 35-40 lakhs, but for a used model, you can expect to pay significantly less. Currently, prices can range from 15 lakhs to 25 lakhs depending on the condition, mileage, and maintenance history of the vehicle. On-road prices would include additional costs such as registration, insurance, and any immediate repairs or maintenance needed. Given the age and mileage, its crucial to negotiate based on a thorough inspection and service history.

These modifications can significantly enhance the driving experience, though they should be approached with caution. I think its exciting to see how much potential these cars have for tuning.
