    MB CLS below £5k - Advice Please?

    It seems that most of the good Mercs around that price on the market at the moment are either diesel ones that aren't ULEZ (or clean air zone outside London) compliant or potential money pits. Good luck with your search!

    Service History

    This! Especially for a relatively old vehicle. Being lumped with £1000s in unexpected repair costs due to hidden faults and poor maintenance over the years would really sting if buying an older vehicle to tide you by until your finances are in a better position to afford a newer car. Its not a...

    What constitutes 'Service History' with a Mercedes?

    I am on the lookout for a good used vehicle and often encounter sellers claiming full or partial Mercedes service history that only exists in the form of stamps in a service book. Clearly, that shouldn't be taken as solid evidence in light of what's been said here but the challenge with...

    What do all the Mercedes W Codes/Numbers Mean?

    Top marks! This is incredibly helpful and will no doubt save many who are new to Mercs from having to ask..

    Stop expanding the ULEZ to all the London boroughs in 2023

    Exactly. I felt rather strongly about it myself but upon further research it seems the vast majority of cars are already compliant. Do I think it is fair to those who have to pay? Absolutely not!

    Stop expanding the ULEZ to all the London boroughs in 2023

    It's only a matter of time before it's rolled out full scale across all the major cities as many have already started. I'm not sure this is a tide that one can swim against. It's time has come (un) fortunately.

    Can Mercedes Benz Survive in UK market ?

    This is very true. It'll survive one way or the other.

    Stop expanding the ULEZ to all the London boroughs in 2023

    This makes sense. I don't disagree with the idea of reducing pollution but the charge can mount up over the year if you're not a high income earner

    Hmmm thoughts on this ULEZ tip car runaround.....

    Very lovely looking car and price seems about right but my Spidey senses are piqued by the fact that the seller hasn't owned it for long. Something doesn't feel right here ...

    London ULEZ stops Mercedes W202 entering in 2023.

    I'm assuming you've checked on tfl's website to be certain? I was faced with getting rid of my old banger (w203, 2003 c240) for this reason but was rather surprised that it was fully compliant when I checked

    Car values in 2023

    This is rather strange, but as others have said CarWow, We Buy Any Car and the likes are funny when it comes to pricing

    W203 C240 (2003) Rear coil springs

    Would someone be able to tell me the correct rear springs part number(s) for my car using the VIN please? The tip of one of my rear springs broken and I am looking to replace them both or maybe all four if the cost difference isn't huge. I've been looking online and there seems to be so many...
