But there are a lot of cars about with a lot less miles on them,
i just liked the look and feel of this one
Hi Whitty,
Interesting - there are plenty of well experienced owners on here who will tell you it'll be fine with lots of life left in it and for that kind of price, sounds a good deal - and they'd probably be right - but if this is the one you mentioned before, don't forget what 11Feb suggested about trying for a longer warranty - or what UKKen & I said about other (possibly non-Merc.) components (including interior) wearing out long before the engine.
Also depends how long you plan on keeping it and how much you'll want to use it - remember the more you like it (and you will
), the more you'll want to drive it but, as you see the miles increase, might soon wish you'd spent just a little more to get one with fewer miles - which would be
my preference - but if they bite at your price
and you feel happy, go for it! Get well soon and keep us posted.
Chris
