For the 06 cls i'd watch out for some navi problems, didnt have navi in my 06 cls55 so can't speak first hand, but I did have some strange issues from time to time with my audio system not working then inexplicably working again.

taylor192, while the previous gen w203 may have been plagued with issues, there's only a handful of w204's I've seen/read of with serious issues these days. My c63 so far has been problem free (knock on wood :P)

I know the c230 kompressors have had an overabundance of issues, but you have to remember it is in the lower regions of merc's model lineup, and made during the era when merc really started sacrificing their QC. I mean I had a friend with a c230 kompressor, and his interior trim was falling apart left and right not to mention rust everywhere. These days they're making efforts to improve their reliability and they did catch a few saboteurs, who were purposely damaging vehicles so that local shops could reap in money from merc, in their QA lineup a few months back.
