Hello, Thank you for the reply, you make some excellent points. Ive had a good look at different sites in the UK and EU to try and assess a value, but unsurprisingly there aren’t many W123 280 CE’s in similar condition to my vehicle and very few (at least in the UK) actually for sale in...

Hello All, Ive been a member on here for a while now, though i generally read more than i post. I’m after some advice and I thought this would be a good place to ask. Sadly my brother died very recently, he was only 49 and it was very sudden and totally unexpected. The point of the post is...

A long time lurker on this forum, this is my first post so forgive me if its been covered before. My car is a 2014 S212 e250 se Just had a replacement windscreen fitted by National Windscreens and I’m not happy with the glare and reflections that I’m now experiencing. On a sunny day it’s...

I'm sure there is a 12v supply in the glove box, however I've hard wired mine to the fuse box in the rear. The run to the fuse box is straightforward if a bit fiddly, took about two hours to install the power cable using a fusetap . I've put the dashcam exactly where you are planning to install...

Another vote for s212 estate, if you can't fit it a E Class estate you should be looking for a van ! Comfy,stylish and has some really neat touches that make the estate such an easy car to like. Sent from my SM-G965F using Tapatalk

It’s amusing reading these posts, even though many have been posted with the tongue firmly in the cheek a lot still rings true. Cars certainly do stereotype you no matter how you try and buck the trend. Thinking back over my car ownership i suppose i have conformed to the typical type ! When i...

Totally agree with you, i bought my first Mercedes at 49 for very similar reasons to you. Cheap leasing deals have made the so called premium cars much more accessible now, however I’m not saying this is a bad thing but it has changed the typical owner demographic of “premium cars”. 30 years...

Only my opinion but the FD was one of the last truly original and exciting cars Mazda produced. I would have loved to have owned one but I don’t think i would have the dedication to take care of that engine. As this is a Mercedes forum, i do really like the E63, especially in estate form , a...

Which one ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

True transformers car, polar opposite of the Mercedes. Ive had a passenger ride in one many moons ago and i was amazed at the acceleration. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What’s your fun car ? Mine is an old Alfa V6 ? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I lusted after electric windows, funny how times change. A Triumph Stag in BL purple was my Pools win dream ! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Just “sayin”. Thought it ended ing, spelling, punctuation and grammar wasn’t a biggie where I was dragged up. No offence was taken, just being light hearted . Actually my next door neighbour drives a really nice Audi TTRS and he’s a real gent . Maybe its a generational thing but in the 70’s and...

It’s the opposite around here in the main , the more mature chaps (and ladies) carriage is the Merc. The knobbers drive the 1.8 TDi Audi’s S lined to the max usually tailgating you so close that they can see the soot up your tailpipe. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The only club going in the back of my E class estate are of the biscuit type for the dogs when they do as they are told, which is rare as Ive an autistic Alsatian and a hunter killer springer [emoji3] I’m in the right age group though, 50+ and getting more like Victor Meldrew every day...

Yeah GTA a real flawed diamond, however in the real world the E250 could maybe outpace my GTV, it’s certainly comfier. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Well off topic and wrong forum but if you like V6’s , how about my significant other which is a V6. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

A bit of perspective for you regarding dealers. I decided i wanted the peace of mind of buying an approved vehicle from Mercedes so i paid £18,500 for a 35000 mile 3 year old car which by the way looks near identical to what your looking at (obviously bar the AMG trim but essentially the same...

From the research i did before buying mine, the V6 is well regarded and capable of high mileage if well maintained and MUCH smoother than the 4 pot , In all honesty if i buy another E Class it would be a V6 because my future mileage is likely to drop . The 250 seems a strange engine in a way and...

Tough choice, i suppose it all comes down to how much mileage you intend to put on the vehicle and what type such as commuting or motorway.If its not a huge yearly amount I’d probably go for the 350 and i must admit they do really feel that much quicker and more special than the lesser models ...
