And yet I paid £600 for an old 210, been running it round for 40k miles with only an aircon compressor, suspension sphere and radiator as the major expenses.Both body work and under car ars sound, going to an independent Merc guy on friday, It seems that i have bought a money pit, been doing nothing but pay out on this car for the last 12 mths and its still going on, Would i recomend that anyone buy a merc ? with my experience the answer would be NO !! been driving since the early 70s had countless cars / vans in that time & this must be the most unreliable vehicle ive ever had , My old R/Rover was better than this, Never know what is going to go wrong next, every tine I open the door turn on ignition somthing else happens !! Think ill drive it up on the moors and set fire to it.
