Hi,
I am about to become a first time Mercedes owner and would appreciate some 'buyers' advice please.
I am planning to view 2 cars over the weekend (both manual):
1998 C180 Sport, 82K
1997 C220D, 109K
It would be useful to know what things I should 'look out for' on each of these cars, mechanically and bodywork. Also, does anyone have views on which is the 'better car' (e.g. torque, fuel consumption, handling, maintenance, etc)
According to the owners, both are in pristine condition inside and out. I am assuming that both of these cars share the same 'body' - and the differences are the cosmetics (i.e. different bumpers)?
Any advice much appreciated,
Thanks,
Gary
