W204 220CDI SPORT AMG
Wondering what would be a good price/bargain for w204 220cdi Sport, car has 2 previous owners, has half merc half merc specialist and some independent garage history up to date, 2 keys, has sat nav and all toys but weirdly no parking sensors and heated seats. Everything else is here. It's in black with very clean body (8/10) and is 08 plate. Done genuine 92k miles from new and is HPI CLEAR. Previous owner owned the car for 4.5 years. There is a record also for gearbox oil changes, done at 50k then at 72k. He adverted the car for £7000 but i managed to knock it down to £6300 and bought the car , looked online and can't find a similar spec model, year and mileage for less than 7/7500. Got the car for almost 2 weeks now and it's all spot on so far. Did i got a bargain or should i worry lol. :rock:
 
That is a bargain bud.

If you have some cash left over though I would look at retrofitting parking sensors though.
 
That is a good deal, mine sounds the same spec in white and have had offers above this, I will likely put it up for 8-9k when I sell it

In fact having reading the OP post again, I'd expect to get that for six maybe even less, 2008 plate in black with only half mercedes service history I think there's a possibility to of got it £300 cheaper

The W204 is a great car, but if you really are worried about if you got a bargain or not, why not look at the previous model rather than the first year of the 204?:dk:
I paid half what you did for an 07 C180k estate with similar miles. Yes, it is a petrol car but is rather less noisy that the 4 pot wood burner.
It has managed nearly 20k miles with me over the last 2 years and averaged over 40mpg. It's smooth, quiet and has not a sporting bone in it's body....and cost almost nothing in deprecation.
It had a great start to life as an Avis Car (!) so has just laughed at anything I can do to it:eek:
It will also still do things like this when asked nicely:thumb:

Because the W203 looks old.

The W204 isn't long out of production - they made it from 2007 to 2015, with a minor facelift in 2012. So having an early one is a great way in to having a newer looking car.
 
Yes, sorry:eek: As an engineer I keep forgetting that most people care about what the car looks like not what it does:doh:
I only really care what I experience from the drivers seat, very selfish, I know;)
 
Of course we care what it does.

And my 58 plate w204 Elegance does a lot of things very nicely indeed thanks.
 
... but newer ones do more too.

If I could afford a W205, I'd drop my W204 like a hot coal.
 
Agreed! But the OP seemed to be asking if he had got a bargain...and if if it fits his requirements, then he has:D
I've had most of the cars in the Mercedes range, the higher up the range and the newer they are the more they cost. (Check my albums!)
So 'bargain' is all relative, the 203 is old and cheap, but I see it as a real bargain after having had up to £15k a year deprecation on a new S Class.....;)
 
How can you not have a bargain, first few weeks of driving would have shown any major faults and it's been well serviced, if you are still concerned I find that the first port of call is an MOT station and ask them to go through a good MOT check and that will show any obvious faults if it fails. Next if you are still not comfortable I would find a good independent Merc garage and tell them your story and the cars history and get them to spend a couple of hours checking it over, £100 and hey prestos confidence.
 
Aye - I had an RAC check done on mine, not that I thought it had problems to be fair to Mercland, but just for my own peace of mind. They found no issues and reported it to be in top notch condition.
 
Just found a paperwork from Wurth Mercedes specialist, the car has been checked all over every little been been checked and only found 2 rear tyres low on thread witch been replaced in same garage same date.
