S500L the BIG question

[Renegade]

Hi Guys

Firstly please let me thank you for all the great info on this forum.

As a newbie I am hoping you could assist me...I am looking at buying an S500L which looks immaculate and is on a 51 plate, the concern I have is that it has done 167K miles and the price reflects this however should I stay clear of such high mileage?? and is there anything I should look out for? Engine wise all sounds great.

I appreciate your replys.

Nice cars and not too big, Essex is fine for one of these.
Many of these car do high mileages, and this one has done 30k per year, how cheap is it compared to a low mileage one

It is being offered to me for £10,500. Full MBFSH with eexcetion of latest service which was by a Merc specialist. Any pointers?

I agree with PUP that you can do much better. Where else have you looked

Around Autotrader and the usual suspects....this particular model (true black) has been loaded with some extras like twin large screens in the back and 6 DVD changer, twin phones + additionals.

Any advice?

Cheers

have a look on www.pistonheads.com. forget about the toys with the car they mean nothing, with that mileage regardless of the service history sooner rather than later its going to need some expensive parts replaced. The costs involved could far out way what a lower miler would have cost. Also make sure the mileage is correct and not corrected.
