The previous one was a 2005 which I ran from 2010/95k miles to 2017/145k. I stuck a new Airmatic pump on at about 125k miles. £400-ish. The only other non service items were a crank pulley (which was going a bit wobbly) and a boot lock.

I bought the 2010 one in 2017 on 54k miles - it's now on 74k. I have to have one of the seat cooler fans replaced early doors and have just done the rear suspension (£250 a side + fitting).

Other than that, just normal servicing.
That’s good to know. Thank you.

Excellent shortlist says the totally biased bloke.

Point of information; the E Class coupe is actually based on a C Class floor plan. CL on an S Class.

So they're actually looking at C/E/S in terms of tech & complecity.

The other relevant car could be the CLS which is based on the E Class. Low-roofed 4 seater version.
I may show them the CLS too. I think they’ve made a good choice with Mercedes.

They’ve expressed some interest in this:

Are there any major areas to check, also would anyone be able to help with a list of questions to ask the dealer. Specifics about the car etc.

Thank you to the both of you for the help. It’s very much appreciated. I will have a look on the MB forum too.
