Faults:

Nothing so far. Full Mercedes history with this one. Do not touch these cars without full history and do your homework to avoid disasters.

General Comments:

Huge, metallic black traditional Mercedes E-Class saloon. Love this car so far.

Was told to stay away because "Mercedes from this time are not what they used to be", but the car feels very solid and exudes quality so far. I am not expecting it to be perfect (or cheap to fix) if something goes wrong, especially at the age and mileage, but if the car returns with generally good reliability over the next couple of years (I look after it well) then it will have been worth it; I got an amazing deal on this car, usually they are overpriced.

CDI SE model is common, and so is the engine and transmission setup (2.1 diesel automatic). It is both economical and powerful, so no wonder this is a popular choice. Fantastic to drive.

Really good looking car, original Mercedes alloy wheel are very nice.

Interior is as comfortable as it gets. Leather seats. Electric everything. All going well I hope to keep it a long time, very impressed so far.
