Hi folks,
Just new so be gentle.
I've sold my old car, it's being picked up in a week or too once the new owner comes back from his holiday.
I've concluded bang for buck that either a c250 or an e250 will be my preferred option for a new car.
So where am I.
I've looked at both, I like both. But from you guys, are there pros and cons to either of them?
I'll admit I'm tempted with a nice 2010/1 black E250 wagon with around 70k on it. Or a C250 saloon much that same price etc.
What's the difference on real world economy with both?
Key points for me
Economy - needs to be around 40 minimum combined
Power - moving from a 450bhp Rx means I want something which will actually move, but I don't expect it to set the tires alight.
Styling - I like both saloon and wagons for both, but not keen on the coupes. Ideally the AMG style pack should be in it as it makes all versions look 10 times nicer in my eyes.
Price - max 10k
Reliability - I want it to be decent, although comfortable working on most things myself.
Option packs - no idea what the options are on these cars so guidance for what I should look for would be helpful
It'd be interesting to get some views from the owners and make an informed decision.
Cheers
