As some of you may remember early in the year I was looking for a lete model E211 with all the goodies as I do not like the E212 and its not growing on me.
Well yesterday afternoon I came across a couple of 57 and 08 cars that fittet the bill, so being upto the task of using e-mail I contacted the dealer and asked them for a "Ball park figure" as a P X. Well the cheeky git offered me £5000 for my 53 Plate E211 270CDi 106k miles F S H and every option except Full leather TV and Heated seats. Have a look on Autotrader private or trade to see one anywhere close to this price, well as far as I'm concerned his £22,000.00 car can rust away on his forecourt. Do they think we are all stupid or have so much money that it is not relevent. After 11 years of continual MB ownership this might just be the final straw. I might well be looking at other marques when I do bite the bullet. It reminds me of why MB do NOT service my car, just a bunch of money grabbers.
