Looking To Buy First Mercedes

[obsidianone]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum and am coming close to buying my first Mercedes.

I am considering buying a W204 C350 CDI AMG Facelift and wondered what are things to look out for when buying (aside from the obvious). Looking to pick up one with no more than 70k on the clock, and was also wondering if there are any age related issues to be aware of also?

Thanks.

Love mine (pre facelift) done 60k in 7 years, never had a car this long, replacing it will be tough

Oil Cooler Seals are the big job (£700)

Yes I've heard about the oil seals. Are there any tell tale signs around this other than to look out for any obvious oil leaks?

That's great you are still loving your car after so long
