Hi
Got my first post in the wrong section so hope this is OK.
I'm considering buying my first Merc to replace an aging Omega Elite Estate.
I tow a caravan so I thought a well specified E320 Diesel Estate would fit the bill with all the toys I wanted. After reading the forum I came down on a 05 0r 55 plate with around 70000 miles as being in my price range. Then I read the Honest John link from here and it frightened me to death. What is the possible 11k pounds bill he mentions, and where can I find info on some of the faults he outlined? What are the chances of getting any of the faults at this mileage? Is it worth going to a 2006 facelift to get rid of some of these faults and does this year really solve them, I didn't really want to spend that much.
