Hi all,

Would like your advice as to the C Classes I've spotted on Autotrader.

1st - Seller stated car in perfect condition. Best price so far is 10.75k

2nd - Brakes need changing and some scratches on both bumpers. Also, this is the 1.6 engine. Best price is 10.5k so far

The 2nd is the higher spec, just unsure about the engine. Any opinions welcome.

Just to note, mind ia set on a C Class and my mileage is only 6-8k a year now.

Thanks!

2nd one is a 1.8, just a misprint in the title, look at spec.

They never did a 1.6 in that model C Class

I thought they produced a 1.6 engine for a short period of time before the 1.8 cgi?
