I know this is an old chestnut, but manufacturers have been getting away for far too long with monstrous mpg claims.
I see that WhatCar are now compiling a real world table of fuel returns, and hopefully buyers will get a far more realistic expectation of what they can expect.
First knockdowns...
Well, it's time. Our E320cdi is now up for sale. Photos will be up by the beginning of next week, but I wanted to get the ad up now. If we don't sell before deal is done with new car, probably next weekend, the car will be part-exchanged. It would break my heart to see her end up in auction...
Forget the glossy brochures this HONEST JOHN compilation allows people to submit their own experiences of fuel consumption in the real world. Has to be taken with a pinch of salt obviously like all internet stuff but makes interesting reading for prospective buyers? Mercedes-Benz | Real MPGs |...
Anyone any personal experience of running a C240 Auto? My Dad's been offered what sounds like a nice one (Elegance on a T-plate, auto, leather 76k miles, FMBSH(!)) at a reasonable price but is a little concerned about the likely fuel consumption.
Any info gratefully received :thumb:

2000 MERCEDES CLK55 AMG AUTO SILVER | eBay
From the outside, it looks ok.. But look closely at the interior picutres..
Thats a 430 steering wheel and the same seats (Perforated) as I had in my 230K :confused:
That cant be a real 55 can it? If it is, why would anyone swap the AMG...
Just ordered a C250cdi coupe with delivery in March. Sales guy said to expect 50 plus mpg.Anyone on here got this car/engine and if so what real world consumption is ? Presumably C250 saloon will be similar if anyone has one as well.
I know there's a few threads on key reprogramming but it seems that there's quite a lot of conflicting advice regarding the issue.
I ask because I've recently bought a 1998 CLK230 W208 which only has the one key, its the 3 button type.
Now I know some will say you should never buy a Merc...
Forgive me if this post is in the wrong thread location and if it has been mentioned before
How much actual value do you put on your car? and how much is it really worth if it was written off?
I had a 1996 Lexus GS300 sport. I had it insured for £3500, as I felt that reflected a reasonable...
I know the topic of MPG needes to be approached with caution on these forums and I have done a search but have come up empty handed.
I have put an order in for a E350 CDi Coupe Sport and was just wondering what real life MPG figures have been achieved by fellow owners. I will mainly be a...
