Hola
Couldn’t afford a Capri or TR7 back in the day but happy to think I’ve made up for it now. Well, sort of anyway.
Hope you like it.
And nor can I, as a retired person, afford the cars I saw at the dealership last week. €66,000 for a C220D, and I am forced to head for Germany to buy an affordable car. We bought a 2014 S204 C200 CDi estate, 17,000 miles, 2 years unlimited warranty, and bought three years back in 2019 for ££16,000. Not much mileage since due to Covid, and now 30,000 and not a problem.Couldn’t afford a Capri or TR7 back in the day but happy to think I’ve made up for it now. Well, sort of anyway.
Hope you like it.
It isn't fast, it is just basic transport, but for me it is all I need for daily travel. As usual, no problems, normal servicing, and I can sleep at night knowing it'll start the next morning. We've had four Mercedes in 26 years, and never even had to change a battery. We have my old car, also an S204 2012 which was mine and is now a shopping trolley for Madam and it has had its first problem in 100,000 miles, that being a wheel sensor. The dealership wanted £650, the local garage £300. We are happy with what we have.Does anyone else find they have battery replacement problems like it seems that Jaguars do? Every three years it seems.
