OK i've just joined the forum as this looks to be the best laid out and good place to ask.
I'm looking around for a car to keep use of my camper down to a minimum. As i'm retired mileage will be minimal (approx 3-4k per year). I'm on a budget of £2500 as i don't want to splash too much because i'm replacing my camper next year. A small car (Fiesta, Peugeot 207, or Citroen C4) would meet my needs but i'm tempted by a taste of some luxury motoring for a change and a Merc with autobox appeals.
Searching through ebay, AutoTrader and Gumtree finding some Mercs at surprisingly low prices. I'm aware diesel Mercs (which is the engine type i want) are known for their capability of high mileage but also aware that cars like this can end up being a money pit! I spotted this one which i like the look of...especially the interior colour...and checking out it's MOT history it reads pretty good. Condition looks pretty good for age too but is it the 'right' price? As a cash buyer i will look to strike a deal on whatever car i eventually buy. Does anyone know what the VED tax is on this model Merc?
