The thing about buying a Mercedes is to take your time if possibe, they very much sell on spec and finding a well equipped model can take a while. Be patient the right car will turn up and don’t rush into anything or you might end up making a costly mistake, my mantra is that if it’s cheap it’s cheap for a reason and above all source a car from a reputable dealer, a Mercedes specialist even better

I agree malcom. I went and test drove a 2.1l and 3.0l. I fell in love with a 3.0l but it wasn't and estate. Ideally 3.0L blue efficiency, pan roof and 7 seats is what I am looking for.

I found this car and contacted them and they said that when they received the car, the gear box needed an overhaul so they have had that done with a "specialist". They also said that it's has four serviced and thats normal on this car? Saying that it's every 2 years or every 20,000 miles, that didn't sound right to me? Anyone she some light?

They look like they get decent reviews which is a good start

Car looks genuine enough and the price is right if everything else checks out.

As regards service 20k miles between oil changes is acceptable especially with motorway use

Not very well at the moment. I can't seem to find the right one. Have you seen anything?

Why late summer?

Why late summer?

Unexpected bills, so saving up a bit.
