Mercedes-Benz C180 in Turkey
The vehicle is not as advertised. I took it for 8 days in June 2025. Drove it from Antalya to Fethiye. The year of production of the car is not 2023 but 2018. Mileage is about 130 t.km. The car was beaten up and done badly. The mounts of the left headlight are soldered, shine because of this into the ground - it is impossible to drive in the evening, you can't see anything. Under the hood is dirtier than in a pigsty. The air ducts are covered with tape. The engine is covered in oil and bonnet. We drove it to Fethiye. There Check Engine lit up, after which she lost 50% of power. We thought we would never go back. In general, I do not recommend it.
