Good day, folks. Sam from Nottingham here. I'm looking to purchase my first Mercedes and have tried to read as much as I can on this brilliant forum. My top budget is £2,500 and I'm looking for a C Class saloon preferably 2005 onwards.
As I say I've read so much on this forum and looking at various posts about rust, repairs and maintenance I am starting to feel that I risk purchasing a lemon with the sort of budget I have. It's a struggle between my heart and head at the moment; I've been on auto trader and there are some good deals to be had for the usual Vauxhalls, Fords etc, but I'm totally in love with the MB brand.
I'd be very grateful for advice on things to look out for with the C Class models when I book test drives. Ideally, I'll be grateful if someone could recommend an experienced forum member in Nottingham or East Midlands who knows MBs inside out and might be willing to give an opinion on cars I see in this neck of the woods. Any help at all would be gratefully accepted
Thanks
