Used Mercedes E class comments?

There is a 2.2 4 cylinder which is the best comprimise(E220), but dont expect much more than 30mpg. A car with cloth and no air con will be quite abit cheaper, and I'd choose this as long as the service book is showing a full set of MB dealer stamps.

Hi Tim.

Do you have/had one? Any idea on the general servicing costs?

Thanks.

The Merc will not be cheap to maintain, it will hold its value well, but you will need to keep the service history going.

you can't haggle the price or the £61 thing they charge to cover "admin costs" other than that, i've bought from them in the past and haven't had a problem but i did pay cash money rather than go on finance

Only 30 MPG from a 2.2 litre diesel on the motorway? I get much more than this on a 3 litre petrol auto.

Dave Plowman mumbled:

I can get that out of the Maestro...but not in this country! Full pelt up the French motorways on the mountain stretches really pushes the fuel consumption. from 50ish (or more) at sensible speeds, steady 90-95 up hills guzzles the stuff.

I was refering to the 2.2 4 cylinder Petrol motor. The OP won't get a recent enough E class to get the 2.2 CDi (diesel) on his budget.

Tim..

It's still poor. My old SD1 EFI auto with a 3 speed box will better 30 on the motorway by quite a margin if you keep to legal speeds.

I hears that you couldn't haggle and I can't understand the £61 fee! I'm going to get finance through a different company (lower APR rates). So based on you recommendations, you are okay with the GTC?

Dont you mean switch - some guy at work reckons they charge you for cash over 1000......

the last time I bought from them was about 6 years ago but I had bought several cars before that and my mate bought a car last year from them and paid £6k with a bankers draft and £4k cash they didn't charge him anything but like I say, that was last year
