The time has come when I am now going to start looking for a new motor. Well I have had mine nearly a year!
I am not in a hurry but what I want will be hard to find. Spec as follows:
C-class 202 estate.
Engine size C230K or bigger, C240, C250TD or C220CDi considered.
Leather interior.
2000/V-reg or newer.
Aircon or climate (but then most have that)
I would prefer a Sport but I guess an AG would be OK, don't like the Elegance trim.
Mileage 75K or less preferable.
Price......no more than £15K, £16K would be stretching it, £14K would be better.
Not too fussed about alloys or sound as I already have that and they can be swapped over.
I have been looking on autotrader and just missed a C240 Sport with leather and Vivianite green seemed a good price too. There are a few C220Cdi's and C250TD's about, but not with leather. Found a nice C280 but it is an elegance and the running costs of a 2.8 are rather daunting.
Would really need to do a PX unless whoever is selling the car could wait whilst I sell mine.
Keep your eyes open.
