Hi all,
I am considering buying a Mercedes estate but not sure what year/model is best. I like the W210 for its size as I intend to go camping and like to travel a bit but want something that is comfortable and not too heavy on fuel. Although I do like the V8’s maybe lpg??
Not sure if the W211 has the same boot size and I know I should stay away from 2001 to 2003 cars because of rust
I also don’t know if the straight six is better than the v6 diesel or what other issues I will encounter eg electrical gremlins and or collapsed suspension and autobox issues if not a manual!!
I also like the look of the 2008 + models but again struggling for advice and guidance
So if anyone can give me some advice or point in the right direction of reviews etc that would be great
The only contingency for me is that it must have a sunroof and if looked after should last a fair few years!!
Please bare in mind that my better half had a W123 estate in the past and if we don’t buy a merc we may have to start looking at a Skoda Superb instead !!!
