Before i continue, every safety precaution was taken, with my trusty can of dettol disinfectant spray and kitch roll, everything got wiped.
I decided to get shot of the 2004 W211 320 cdi, was just a money pit, lovely drive but just hasnt been looked after and considering ive only had it 5 weeks and spent £500 on it so far and it still needed another £700-800 spending on it (front balljoint, rear tyres, sbc refurb) to get it right i decided it just wasnt worth the outlay or hassle
So for £6k minus £1000 p/ex i just picked up a 59 plate E350 Avantgarde with 93K, full mot, good mot history, 17" AMG alloys, in dark met grey, drives mint, plugged in my MB2 before i bought it and it brought up a rear central locking failure (dealer sorting), gear selector malfunction (dealer sorting), no other fault codes, no historic codes either, and the dealer is also going to refurb the wheels next week.
I took a steady ish trip back from the dealer and got 33 mpg which i think is pretty good, treated her to £50 of v-power diesel, so now on to the detailing malarky with my trusty clay mitt, some Auto finesse Tripple and just ordered some turtle wax ceramic hybrid polish & wax.
