Good Morning!
I have literally just signed on to this forum having been referred here following a search. I currently have an Audi 2.5tdi which is 9 years old and has 103k on the clock. Not worth a lot now, but is in superb condition and has been very well looked after. However I have a very good friend in the trade who has offered me an R regd C250TD, which has auto and air con that the Audi doesnt have, for a very good price. 79k miles and full MBSH. For the money, £6.5k, it sounds too good to miss. Two points occur to me having had a quick look at this extremely well informed site. MPG doesnt look too hot with these cars, I get 45-50 from the Audi and the MB looks more in the thirties. There is more to life than MPG especially for the pleasure of owning such a nice car, but I would be interested in feedback on this point. Secondly the local dealers are not well thought of by colleagues who own MBs, and I am tempted to use a reliable independant. Does anybody know of or can recommend somebody in the Bedford/Milton Keynes/ Northampton area? (apologies in advance if such specifics offend the site rules) I am hoping to view the car on Sunday and anticipate doing the deal then.
Thanks in advance for your patience on what I am sure are well aired topics.
