e350cdi........ does this look sensible?

[jason61c]

I might have to cancel a company car order due to a lease company cockup.

Looking at this

Am I correct in thinking this as active cruise control? So it'll maintain a distance(as well as me doing it?) Also 40mpg at 75mph motorway?

Seems like a nice spec, anything to lookout for? any opinions on the price?

Thanks!

That car doesn't have the adaptive cruise control. Only Standard manual cruise control.

I think it does, you can see the glossy radar cover the "star" sits on in the grill.

I stand corrected! Didn't see that. I was looking for the camera below the star. Mine has the hollow surround around the star, i.e.without adaptive cruise control.

Options list also seems to confirm this. I was going to suggest checking the build spec on a VIN checker.

[jason61c]

price about on the money?

[PSRG]

It looks to me as if it’s got active cruise, as it’s got the shiny/solid MB badge on the grille. It’s also got lane assist, as you can see in the wing mirror pic, which might well have come in the same package

Not got the intelligent lighting system. That would be a major omission for me but depends what you have been used to before.

[Scrump]

Looks very similar to mine. The two options I have which I wouldn’t want to do without now that I have had them are the intelligent Lighting and the multicontour seats.
Price wise it is only about £1k more than WBAC offered for my 2014 estate (with fewer miles though)
(The AMG wheel centre caps would have to go )

want to sell yours

[Scrump]

Weirdly, no. Normally if someone offers to buy one of my cars I jump at the chance for a hassle free sale and then I can get something else but not in this case.
I bought it as a stop gap, only intending to keep it for 6 months or so.
Over 3 years later I still have it and think it is a brilliant car and complements my 911 really well.
I suppose that is a great recommendation for them.
