2010 E350 CDI.... Anything to watch out for?

[Jay_87]

Currently looking at purchasing a big estate and I've come across an E Class that I really like.

Just wondering if there are any owners on here that can share their views on them and if there is anything I should look out for before buying?

Car is a 2010 E350 CDI Estate Sport, fully loaded with options, 97K and 5 stamps in the book.

Cheers

Thanks for the info, I'm pretty keen to get behind the wheel of one and go for spin in this one I've been looking at. Hopefully it ticks all the boxes and is as good as it looks.

I would look at the history closely as said, and also look at the MOT history to make sure that pans out with the mileage.

Also, depends on price?
If it is £8k then don't worry so much, at £10k you want it to be right, at £12k walk away.

Its a 10k car... so yeah I want it to be right. I've had nightmare with the last couple of cars I've owned, so what I buy next has to be something I can just jump into a drive for 2 or 3 years without too much worry other than general maintenance.... Currently in a Mini Clubman Cooper S which is a brilliant car but it just isnt suitable for my needs, I've only had it a month but I bought it on pure impulse because I had to get a car. Hoping a big Merc will be everything I want it to be.
