purchase

I have a cousin looking to buy his last car (cheer up!). Budget £14 max, E or C class saloon, automatic, frugal diesel engine (2.1 recommended?), as new as poss with up to 30k miles. I'll have a look myself when I'm not too busy, but I know you guys are great at this stuff, so whilst I'm not...

I was gonna wait, but the appeal of a latest and greatest and two test drives have swayed my thinking! So... Trying not to overspend (there's no budget, just common sense involved, after all it's the bank's money for now) Driven an SE with almost nothing, and an AMG line with almost...

On Tuesday I will probably be ordering my next MB - the new coupe, I am struggling to decide on a couple of points though and would welcome any opinions. 1. Engine I'll be 50 this year and in all my years driving I've only ever owned petrol cars. Today I drove both petrol and diesel engines in...

Hi All, My first post on the forum.. I recently purchased an Approved Used from Mercedes - a 2010 C180 CGI (Within the last two weeks). I'm very happy with the car however there were a few issues including the passenger central locking which is'nt working. They ofcourse are happy to fix...

A couple of days ago I went to collect a 2002 W220 S320 with a genuine 54k on the clock, intention is to convert to LPG and use for Private Hire work, doing around 20k per year, I had driven just 15 miles from the Traders showroom when I got the (Airmatic visit workshop) warning on the...

Well, I'm truly 'made up' with my purchase of a mesh wind deflector for my little green Merc! Can't wait for it to arrive! So tired of bird's nest hair when the top is down. I have had to be quite careful because the pre-facelift fitting is different to the post-, it seems. This particular...

Hi all, I have a 2007 CL600 which I bought last July. I bought with c35k miles on it and it now has 40k miles. I bought from a MB dealer so got the usual UsedApproved 12 month warranty. Since that time, I have got a major service (spark plugs changed etc). In my time of ownership it has been...

WDD2183232A061801 Already requested once but can't find the post now. Sorry. Please could someone get me the data card for the car above. Thanks in advance

I have been looking for a while for a C63 since parting with my SL55 and eventually found one I liked!! Was originally looking for a facelift model as I prefered the interior, but having seen one the outside looked very similar to any other C Class on the road, hence going for a late...

Hi everyone, I'm about to buy a 2010 S class. the price offered by the owner is close to 23K. The car looks to be in pretty good shape. I haven't driven it myself, but the owner did take me for a ride. The car smelled as good as new. The engine was absolutely smooth. He has all the papers and...

Well I've decided it's time to look for another car, only one that makes me want to part with my brilliant clk 220 2006 is the e class convertible, is the cdi 250 a good choice, thoughts please

Evening all. I'm in York and recently (10 days ago) bought a 2010 CLS 350 Grand with 50,000 on the clock. Bought from a Mercedes dealership (not in York) with the usual one year breakdown and warranty (just as well). Unfortunately I've hardly driven it as it was towed following a power steering...

Hi, I am in a bit of a dilemma at present. Looking to purchase (both new cars) either the C-class or outgoing E-class. Personally prefer the C-class due to the newer + fresher interior, while the E-class looks more outdated now. I don't particularly need the extra space the E offers. However I...

Hi All. As above really, 56 plate E220 CDI Estate, 160k. Does anyone do it for living as I cannot go this week? Please get in touch Thank you in advance Best

Hi all, First post here so apologies if it's in the wrong place... I'm looking at buying my wife a B class sport (circa 2012 year) within the next month or so. We're only looking at the second generation one and in the sport spec (primarily because it looks better in our eyes than a non...

Hello all I am hoping to become a member of Mercedes users group and searching for "the one and only". Searched the forum for do's and don'ts when buying, aware of SBC issues etc but I came across one I like, just looking a bit low on suspension, would you guys share your valuable opinion...

Hi All Going to pickup a approved used Sept 2011 W212 Avantgarde saloon with the 7g+ box in a few days and wanted to see if there's anything I need to look out for before finalising purchase, I've read about injector issues for example but assume it's been sorted by this year, is there anything...

Hi I'm planing to sell my 56 CLS 320 and purchase one of more reliable modes. After some investigation I am aware that 220CDI 170HP (OM 646 DE 22 LA EVO) (not blue efficiency) is great engine. It was fitted in different models up to some years which I checked and consider here. I do about 16k...
