Hello folks, I had seen a 2005 W203 C220 Cdi Avantgarde come up for sale near me. I’ve had 3 Mercedes so far, all petrol, 1x supercharged and 2x V6. Anyhoo, this C220 Cdi is a nice looking car and internally and externally looks a lot less miles than it is.
Here is the conundrum. It’s a very reasonable price, but it has 172k miles on the clock. It has a lot of history and a very comprehensive service record. I delved a little deeper and I could see that 108k miles was done in the first 3 years of the cars life. After this substantially less miles per year. Only 2k one year. The current MOT detailed just 2 advisories. Child seat fitted to rear and a tyre close to the limit. The MOT the year before just 2 advisories both tyres close to legal limit.
Being sold by a local dealer and will come with a brand new MOT and basic service.
What are your honest thoughts? I drive maybe 5k a year and I rather like the car, but that mileage! Woah! Thank you for your time and any replies!
