So theyve got 195 brake and oodles of torque id imagine, only 8 to sixty but thats enough.. What are the real world running costs of these, servicing, fuel & are they reliable?


Found what looks to be a nice one with 72k on it for 4995 with all the toys..

OMG, he is not joking, I've seen some horrors, I'd think you'd need to see a few to believe it.

Such a shame, as otherwise they are lovely cars.

IF your not that good at looking for the bodges people do to hide it, take someone with you who is.

If it is in good nick, and is genuine, it'd be a lot of nice car for the money, in my humble opinion, just think how much that would have cost new.
I am not ! I thought Mercs were something special with regards to their bodywork. How deluded am i ! Maybe ill go for a 5 series / a6 then ! Even if I did find something "good" the chances are it could just rot away on me - dont like cleaning sills and arches etc... Yeah theyre 30/40k cars i guess but rust, may as well get a senator / omega rolleyes !
