Hi All
I've just purchased a 2008 W211 Avantgarde from a main dealer, has done a little under 100k miles, going to pickup in a couple of days, buying from a main dealer I should be safe but is there any way to check to ensure the mileage is genuine (apart from looking at service history which i'm sure the dealer will have checked) and also to ensure it wasnt used as private hire or taxi?
Just a bit concerned as I know these cars are popular for that and also heard some stories where just before every service the owner clocks the car so the service history still looks genuine.
Advice appreciated so I can just look forward to getting the car
Also does anyone know what the difference was between a 2009 Executive SE and a 2008 Avantgarde? I could of purchased a newer one with higher miles but it was missing Xenon headlights for example, not sure what else was missing, cant seem to find a spec for a exec SE anywhere for the W211.
