Prices are delicate at the moment because of the diesel debate and possibility of charges so make sure the price is keen.

I had a good look at both of them yesterday they were both loverly and great to drive, one felt better purely on vibe from garage, one of the guys on here was right though, the atf had been overlooked on one but I was given the promise it will be done and they will give me a years or 12k full warranty, I’ve put an offer in so will here something tmrw, beautiful car though, looked even better in the flesh, not a mark in it

Hello, viewed both cars and they are both standard models, both drove very nice, one was slightly cleaner than the other and I liked the vibe of that garage as they were merc specialist and new the car, and sold the customer his newest car, as to an earlier comment about the atf, it was missed but they are going to do that for me and give a years full warranty, there was one other thing for the moment, although some of you might think minor, the indicator on both cars, loudest I think I have ever heard!
That aside I’m sold on the car, very nice

Good to hear about the ATF call buddy , it's regularly missed . I don't charge for pointing it out , but I will require you to get a tattoo of my user picture :shock::D

Haha, how about telling me how to tone down that indicator noise, if it’s possible

You've missed your true vocation in life Wighty! You should have been a car salesman!

I'm too simple and lack the attention to detail , and I've got no work ethic :D

This is a total guess , but maybe the Mercedes star computer may be able to access the indicator volume ????

I have the E350CDI 2011, as others have said a great engine. Only one fault in almost 7 years, the turbo boost sensor oil seal failed.
Mine is on 18" wheels which is firm enough for me. I also have 17" winter wheels which I prefer.
If you live in a rural area think about winter tyres.They go nowhere in snow.

Consensus is that it is not worth paying for and if you do a thorough cleaning job / partially detail it yourself, you'd strip most of it away anyway.

Others may have a different view.....

+1, save your money and either get a proper detailer to do it or do it yourself
