Hi all,
We're looking for a replacement vehicle for the wife.
She likes the idea of a 4x4. High seating position, etc, hence looking at the M-Class.
Other requirements are basically automatic, occasional 7 seater, space for dog cage, baby buggy, etc in the back when not in 7 seat mode.
Obviously the M-class can meet the above, but the next catch is budget, we're looking at the sub £5,000 mark. A quick search of Autotrader and EBay shows a number of potential candidates, so I know this is potentially possible. (I've included c.100k mileage in my criteria)
But I want to avoid common pitfalls, so:
Does anyone know of a suitable buyers guide for the older M-classes? What should we watch out for and what features are must haves?
Can extra the 2 seats be retrofitted and how easily are they sourced?
I'd be happy to hear from anyone with ideas, lists, links or even suitable vehicles.
Thanks,
Craig
