Hi All.
Having owned a few decent German cars previously I am now turning my attention to Mercedes for the first time (please be gentle...) I think I'm pretty settled on a facelift (2013) E250 CDI AMG estate and am very aware that the online community is invaluable when it comes to advice for getting the purchase right. A few questions if I may:
Is it worth tracking down a model with Distronic Plus? I use cruise control quite regularly but only do long journeys every now and again. Would love to have a bit of tech for the occasional motorway cruise but it seems that it's not common spec.
Does anyone know the name of the telescopic bars that attach to the boot floor and the kit that goes with it? Google isn't helping much. Can it be retrofitted easily if I find a car without it?
Are there any options that I should definitely try and seek out? (I know that it's personal, but I'd hate to miss out on something good).
Any common snags to watch for? I believe that the injectors aren't a problem in the facelift model.
Feel free to offer up any advice or link to another thread if there's anything else you think I should know, I have trawled the forums for advice so I think I'm good but there's always something that I miss.
Thanks all
