    Issue with Approved Used?

    Thank you guys, I will ask for replacement. It's shooting break cls so not very popular car. Any guesses if "in theory" I can pick any car from whole UK stock? (subject to transport costs) Would they give me a replacement car in a meantime ?

    Issue with Approved Used?

    I am still within 30 days from a purchase. I am not that precious about the car. How does a car replacement works. Apart from obvious reason in this case, can I just replace it even if I won't like it?

    Purchase advice

    Let's assume I will consider 205 / 212 via approved program from Merc. There is plenty of 200 and 220 but not much more other options. Would that engines be reliable or potentially any problems sorted within a year of warranty? Or I am buying a time bomb?

    A - Class 2005 W169 - front wheel clunk on uneven surface while turning

    I didn't know what that means so googled it and understand it's related with wheel alignment (correct me if I am wrong). Car drives smoothly and straight but I will check the wear on the tyres and add wheel alignment to the list. Tnx
