Hello All, my youngest son, who lives in Sheffield, has just contacted me to ask my advice regarding a Mercedes car he has been offered by a friend of a friend. It is C220 CDi estate and is a 12 registration, but and here's the rub, it has 105000 miles on the clock. It does apparently have FSH but even so I think he could be buying a money pit if things go wrong. He points out that my Skoda Superb has nearly 200000 on the clock, but I have owned and fully serviced it from new and really looked after it. His friend wants £9K for the Merc, which may be a good price, I don't know, but it is a lot of money to risk on such a high miler with potentialy very expensive service and repair costs. I would be grateful for any useful advice to pass on from any forum members who have experience of Mercedes cars. Cheers Concrete
