Have to say,

Looking at the pictures it looks very smart, seats look unused, paintwork and general condition looks very good.

Surely if you were serious a quick ring to Merc UK could check the servicing etc.

Looks very good value next to a A class with a few goodies....

mmmmmmm

Even if the service dates and mileage are accurate, wouldn't a new car need a first service sooner than 2 and a bit years??

That leather is immaculate. It being nappa it wears quickly!

My X5 has 9000 on the clock and the front seats look like youve slept in them for a week!

what if it is used as a third or fourth car? Easy to check with MB .From the pics it looks like it has never been used.
I can see other cars in the back./ maybe it is a rich guy who lives in a country house

If the mileage is low then it should be serviced every two years and on modern vehicles this is a Mobilo requirement.

Its also on Autotrader

Its in very good condition.....Just hope its been serviced every 2 years like Glojo says. I would pay 5-6K more and get the new shape though

I think I have only driven mine 6000 miles in 2 years!.
Maybe I should take it out a bit more..............

 

[jaymanek]

yes but in general when a person buys a brand new car, they have a use for it... generally usage of a specialist sports car starts off relatively high then tails off as the age builds on.

All im saying is that it would be extremely easy to get the mileage wound back before services.

Looks very good but its still a W210 with probable rust issues.

I think 20K would be better spent elsewhere myself.

And that is fair comment. That sort of mileage is the exception, but there comes a time when we have to trust folks, but we must buy any car with our eyes wide open. If I were to cloc a vehicle then I think I would put a mileage on it that would not attract attention? A really low mileage will get folks asking all sorts of questions (like it already has) My own thoughts are that I would prefer a car to be well looked after and used, rather than an extremely low mileage and not regularly serviced?

Just my personal observations though

exactly... go and buy one with sensible miles, with history and save yourself 12-14K!

The other cars/bikes are all for sle - 15 in total. He's a trader!

Bit risky to buy in p/exs and then bung 'em on e-bay, I would have thought!

i would rather buy a car that hs been driven though and serviced and not one of them careful lady drivers car that has never seen 5th gear for 50k miles and only driven in town.
There is a clio lady owner in our office that has never been on a motorway and has already done 30k just toddling around town doing deliveries. lots of stop start and engine never up temperature.
