Hey all
New to the site so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong place or asking the same old question!
I am thinking of buying a c200d for private hire use and am concerned about the true mpg!
When I first saw the car on the forecourt I checked the average mpg and it said 40! I sat in another and it said 30.3! I understand it will differ due to the driving circumstances but don’t know how these previous owners drove.
The salesman says to expect 50 around town, 45 at worst so why do both those I sat in say less than the worst case scenario? You don’t get much worse than full time in town at a snails pace so how can they be so low?
The cars are gorgeous and meet my needs in every way but this is a 5 year commitment and I don’t want to regret buying it.
Anyone driving a c200d as a private hire or personal use in town fairly continuously and know a real mpg that I could go on? I am looking at a 16 or 17 plate.
Honest John seems to say average around 50 but is that one person or 100 - who knows!
I took it for a 4 mile test around the city having (reset the trip first) and got 27mpg but I am not sure if this is a true test.
All help appreciated
