Hi everyone
I'm new here and wondered if I might ask for some advice? I've spotted a 1991 230CE I'm interested in with an auto box. I've had Merc before, but not a sports model.
The car looks well, has service history etc BUT, I would need to tow a caravan with it with about 1200kgs max laden weight.
Can anyone help me with maximum tow weights on this car, and if they do actually tow okay from experience?
Another option I've spotted is a Ssang Yong Musso with Merc engine in locally which looks really well - but obviously nowhere near as pretty as the CE and WAY more insurance as I can get the CE on a classic policy.
Any info or thoughts would be hugely appreciated.
Dawn
