  • W202 C36 was my first car. Bought it in 2012 from an old lady in Jakarta, Indonesia. She said that it was her son's car and when her son left the country to study abroad she decided to sell it. It was an unexpected deal since I was planning to get a younger, more reliable car (which was an a250 sport) for a daily driver in my university which located in Malang, but my budget was tight and suddenly comes this opportunity to own this car of my childhood dream. This car is considered rare in my country where I live since there were only 65 cars were ever brought in the country legally, and it was during the APEC convention. It was used as the protective service agencies for the presidents of the countries. I paid about twenty grand for the car since the tax here is so high, nonetheless I was happy to own my first AMG. I always loved the simple and timeless design of the W202. I loved this car's aggresivity and acceleration. And guess what? I abused this car, always step the pedal down the floor, it was a fun to drive car, the feeling was overwhelming and addicting. This was the first non boring stock car I've ever driven beside a heavily modded civic, a friend's cayman and my dad's 03 SL55. I went on a lot of road trip with my C36, and he never fails me when I'm long driving (besides that one time a motorbike crushed my left side mirrors and that one time I hit a big hole in the road, you know my bad). But there were issues too. The tranny broke down and I was scammed by a local mechanic costing me about six grands and a broken car. But I'm glad that I took this car back to my hometown in Bandarlampung. There were never any regrets about having this car.
