E350cdi Coupe, any good?

[T16OLE]

There are plenty around the £15k mark, albeit with circa 100k.

Though only 4 years old and most with full Merc history.

Never driven one, never owned a mercedes, are they any good. Is it likely to give me any trouble?

Just about to spend £13k on a 2008 3.2 TT and didn't realise these had come down this much

Any thoughts welcome

Very nice car, plenty of go and steer OK. Excellent spec and a nice place to sit.

They are no Audi TT....in the handling and steering department!

Having said all that, I would have the Merc, more grown up and nice place to sit, plenty of power and a nice badge!

Had a vert 350cdi as a courtesy car when they first came out to take to Paris when somebody hit me.

Ride well although want the best steer, a proverbial boat with over-assisted steering and may have been me coming from a 335i but it felt rather gutless, especially above 70 or so when you floored it, wasn't the best on fuel either, gave low 30's IRC

I've had the tt tdi and the e350 I agree about fuel consumption being low 30s but the e350 is a much nicer place to be, the tt claustrophobic in comparison.
