Has black wing mirrors possibly different wheels and de chromed roof bars and window trims possibly a few other things. The newer head units are better as well they work with all the new Mercedes me stuff so you can geo fence the car track it and all sorts will also be able to share your WiFi connection from your phone through the car turning your car into a hot spot.

Cool thanks for that!

 

[benjaminD]

Still got my eye set on this Merc

Going to see if I can go see it today.

Any final comments / what I should look out for folks? Cheers again

First job would be to de-badge it clearly isn't an AMG... lol

 

[fabes]

Same points from before apply (maps, ATF / service)
Its not clean inside, though may have been valeted now, so it has been unloved, check for tears, rips, dents and other bits that will annoy the hell out of you if you buy it (and trim can be expensive)
Wheels look unloved as well and in need of a refurb (plus tracking?)
Tyre condition?

As the condition looks 'not great', a thorough visual, check all the toys work and service history is present (do not be fobbed off with its not around.....)

Let us know.....

I would hold out for the facelift model from 13> similar to the examples posted earlier unless you prefer the look of the older model.
Unless you want to cleaning it every day, avoid a black car. Palladium is the colour I prefer.

 

[zipdip]

Well the one you were going to view has the twin lights at the front many prefer these to the latter model with the one light but of course from 13 onward their were some improvements,so it is up to you keep us up to date.

Hey AmGeed,

I do like the facelift model but like the pre-facelift models too and I like them in black lol! Out comes the HD wax and other AutoGlym products.....

Cheers!
