Looking further from home now and Mercland had an interesting '02 c320 - any experience of Mercland and the w203 c320 petrol would be appreciated. Do they know their onions?;)

Thanks

Jay is a genuine enthusiast for the marque.
He collects & restores Mercedes for himself.
I have every reason to believe he is an honest & respected dealer.
I hope to purchase my next car from him.
I am not in any way associated with him.

I purchased my C280 W202 from him a couple of years ago and I found Jay fine to deal with and importantly, the car was a good 'un. Good luck but don't think you'll need it.

Another thumbs up for Jay from me too.

Give him a call on the phone before making the visit, I'm sure he'd give you an honest appraisal of the car.

Jay has been on this forum and others for years; he is well respected and i have only ever seen positive comments about him. I would not normally buy from a dealer as I think most of the used car warranties are not worth the paper they are written on and I would rather buy cheaper and pay to fix problems myself rather than have an argument with a dealer - but in Jay's case I think you do get that added value of after sales support.

^ I hope we're all mature enough to read a factual report.

whilst my experiences have been positive no one is infallible, so constructive criticism is still valid IMHO

Someone here recently had a big money layout and felt ripped off by a recommended indi ,Others on here agreed .It is easy for someone to say they had a bad experience (like me )and to have a one sided story.I asked for the o.p. to pm me ! Hence the above ..

Hi Julian/all,

dont want to stir anything up here but I work hard to keep my customers happy and so just to clear any doubt, if anyone wants to know the story here I will happily forward emails of the conversations.

Briefly, he asked me about the advisory on MOT which I told him about. He also asked for an owners manual and a copy of the HPI.. this was sent..
He then came back and said the mirror was not adjusting and there was a blown speaker. I asked him to book it in to our workshop to be sorted - I suggested that the speaker may be a bad connection somewhere as id never known one to go..

Then out of nowhere i get a nasty email back saying that "i was taking him for a fool" and that "he would pay me a visit"

I was shocked and sent an email back to ask what he meant... heard nothing after that until today.

I am a Mercedes Specialist, I am not a miracle worker, i cant turn used cars into brand new ones... but my family and I do our best to check the cars over fully before they go out and we like to think our after sales service is way above the average.

If anyone ever has any problems, please do let us know and we will always do our best to rectify as long as we are all reasonable about it.

Make sure the cats are OK. The 320 petrol has 4 cats - 1 on each manifold and 2 more just before the tailpipe that are supplied connected to the nearside manifold cat. The rear two cats are dodgy and when they go Mercedes dealers try to sell you the whole shebang (at vast cost).

Have you taken this up with him? If not (as he says) then you are being unfair.
