thinking of buying...

I'm thinking of buying this 190D http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=012&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=220127532731&rd=1&rd=1.

It's only up the road and at a few hundred quid could be a good buy. A dealer has it is as px and doesn't much like it due to classic merc rust on the arches.

I'm not worried about cosmetic rust but apart from that what should I look out for?

Also i'll be using it alongside my jeep which is a 4.7L V8 so i'd like it to be reasonable on fuel, what are these 2.5L's like? I had a jeep 2.5L turbo diesel that did 23mpg... crap.

It is not bad on fuel but don't expect brilliant consuption as it has to work quite hard. (****** slow)

What we talking? Much over 30mpg?

Id would say that and under.

I like the car actually. Its body kit is worh a few quid.

Went to see it today, had some dodgy aftermarket alarm on so it was like a trying to get into a bank valt just to start the engine. The seller was a bid dodgy, was a trader and wasn't keen on me driving it. Sounded a bit rough - i'll give it a miss.
