    Potential GLC Buyer - some advice please

    Thanks for taking the time to write that it's really very helpful. The 250 is the one I would favour but, as you suggest, the Premium in the 220 for broadly the same money may be the way to go. I echo your thoughts about the alleged crabbing but until I have driven one and tried it then I am...

    Potential GLC Buyer - some advice please

    I was actually not thinking of a new one but could be tempted for the right deal. What's the spec on the urban like? I'm a bit lost with Merc's trim hierarchy

    Potential GLC Buyer - some advice please

    Thanks that's useful. Appears that engine will be my only choice so am keen to understand from others how reliable a unit it is. More widely, are there any common issues with it, or the gearbox and car in general? Is it worth going for the 250 over the 220? Thanks again.

    Potential GLC Buyer - some advice please

    That figures as every one for sale at that age is listed as either 2.1 or 2.2. What's the reliability like for that engine?

    Potential GLC Buyer - some advice please

    Thanks - all of the ones I am looking at are the 2.2 so therefore the old ones. What are they like reliability wise compared to the newer 2.0? Also, roughly when did the 2.0 start getting fitted to them - the ones I am looking at with the 2.2 are all 18 plate so I assume that the newer ones...

    2014 C Class Estate - good buy?

    I think the only thing it doesn't have is heated seats. Are the engines and gearboxes reliable? What are the regular things that maybe go wrong that I would need to look for, please? I read about the EIS ignition failure - is that a biggie?

    2014 C Class Estate - good buy?

    It's £15.5k - I have always had Volvos, Hondas and Toyotas before so I don't have any experience of the brand and don't want to buy something that's gonna give me a problem. I know you can't tell that with any car though.

    2014 C Class Estate - good buy?

    Thanks - the car has only covered around 25k miles so am not sure it would have needed any of those things as yet? It's a 14 plate so the low mileage is a bonus and a concern if it's only been tootled around town.

    2014 C Class Estate - good buy?

    Hi all First post so be gentle :-). I am looking at a C250 AMG Line Estate on a 14 plate (the S204 I think) and am after some guidance on the reliability of that particular model please. It's the auto version so not sure how many speed the box is? It's had full MB history and looks clean but...
