Son was looking for another car to replace his Fiesta , the options were - another Ford / Ibiza / Leon / Polo around 2017 / 18.
I asked him if he would consider an older "nicer" car along the lines of a C coupe or a 1 series as he does a low annual mileage , around 4k.
Contacted Admiral this morning and for a 2013 C class it will be just an extra £500 to upgrade to the Merc , this will take his annual premium to less than £1k which i think is pretty fair.
The car for consideration will be a 2013 ish / C class coupe / 1.8 petrol as he does really short trips so the diesel will be a no go.
So what to look for regarding the 1.8 petrol engine ? , gearbox will be the 7G so no surprises there .
There is a silver one in MB Grangemouth which is a little out of budget but my be worth a look , when we can, as it will have the approved used warranty.
