Hello I recently bought a used Mercedes 220cdi Avantgarde diesel w203 2002
My friend told me that I made a mistake, because I only drive maybe 5000 miles per year. he said that this car doesn't like to stand round and then only used for short distances towndriving eg. Iam a pensioner second year though
and my days of long distance traveling are over.
He said the engine will suffer eg.
Did I make a mistake? Will it affect the engine negatively?
What do you think?
Many thanks
Peter
