Mercedes E320 - Hints and tips please.

[Morningside]

Right, I will be honest I dont know anything about these cars but have been offered one on px for my van.
Seems OK to drive apart from the hard seats (is this a merc thing?).

Its R reg, V6 petrol 3.2L? Saloon. What mpg would I be seeing? Anything major to look out for? What are part prices like?

Good or steer clear? He is asking £600 - Yeah, I know its not £10,000+ but moneys tight at the mo

Thanks. Whats the best way to check it Ticking? Poor idle? Or do I just wait for detonation


Added: Or the usual mayo in the oil?

Well, he sold it (on the quiet) for £500

Then I get 'Oh, if only you had told me you really wanted it '
