Hello,

I would be very grateful for any thoughts on the following.

I have decided to buy a C280 having driven one and loved it. What I can't decide is whether the V6 cars are worth the premium being charged for them.

At the moment, I have tabs on two cars, a 97P inline six and a 98R V6. Both are sport models and have almost identical high spec (real leather, electric seats, CD, sunroof etc). Both are slightly high mileage (75k) but have full MBSH and are basically flawless (so am told). The 97P has no head gasket problems and has had the wiring harness replaced.

The V6 is being offered at £10k and the older one at £8k. Basically, is the V6 worth the extra, if better at all. Are either or both of these reasonable prices, or should I be looking to pay less if I go for either of them.

Finally, does anyone know if a 97P W202 will have the new rounded switch type interior, or will it be the old ones?

Thanks very much indeed
