maybe more,the one I went to see was an D plate for £1500,160k,FSH to 150,really good nick.
Not very keen on the age though,but its FSH should sell it if nothing else.

knew I forgot something,its a 12v,(the one I went to see) not a 24,y'see I had a Senny 24v and that was quite good,so if I'm going for the 300 I'd like a 24,if poss.
And I think that'll do me just now.

I like how you reply, or not as the case maybe, I never know where the h*ll
I stand with you.
I send in replies and you dont bother to answer,either the amount I said is to low for you,or you dont have the 24v,or both,but either way it'd be nice to be "noticed",y'know.
I'm gonna stop writin' in this thing,it ****es me off at times.

Hi Merc

Its not a 24v. You won't find one in the £1500 mark. I would say you got to spend 4kplus unless its done starship miles. Mine is a 300te 12v. Done 140k, It was missing a little and the customer before we had reported that it wanted de-coking. Which we are carrying out at the present time. The vehicle price will be £3995.

I can see some of the problems you have had with your previous vehicles. I have given advice which by the sounds of some of your replies you have not heeded or not read properly. My advice to you (with out being condecendening) is either wait till you have the money to buy a vehicle which will not give you the trouble you have been experiencing or buy from a reputable dealer where you can take it back to in the event of a problem. I feel only then will you experience the true start it and go experience & reliability that most of us experience with the MB product.

Regards
