The 270 CDI engine in my CLK was very quiet and super-responsive, and if you like wood trim, go for the Elegance. As I commented earlier, service history is king, especially Main Dealer - it is more than worth the extra cost you might have to pay

This reminds me of a conversation I had with my neighbour last year ..... "why are you always tinkering with that "old" Rover, if you got a decent car like mine you would not have to bother"!
Yes, he had an E class Merc, after some more chatting I found out that he spent between £1000 to £1500 every year with the local Merc main dealer having it serviced and Mot'd. Her had a cracked washer bottle and was weeping out fluid, it cost him just over £500 parts and labour + vat to have it replaced. Some people seem to forget that .......... |

The cabin on the E-Class is very light and airy - very much like our Omega estate. It is well put together with no trim creaks etc. Overall, I would be pleased to own and drive one. Equally, the 75 does not in any way feel inferior given that it was intended to be a C-Class equvalent car. Quote:
I am thinking about this one, but one thing I am certain about is that, it would be easier to write-off an E-class than a 75 on the basis of the cost of repairs not making sense when the car is say 15+ years of age. |

I have a e320 cdi 2008 sport model which Mrs cossie Dunc uses as her daily transport
They are a cracking thing, loads of luxury, loads of toys and most importantly loads of torque They also handle the miles really well, mine has just touched 245k!!! And it runs like a Swiss watch, it's been all over the world and back I don't need to tell you how good my 75 is also Good luck whatever you decide

I must admit I do like Mercedes and Jaguar's Cars.
Mercedes wise a 500SL or Jaguar XJ up to 2008 as I prefer the older looking shape.

I've spotted this http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classifi...=Estate&page=2
and it ticks most of the boxed. Its got a FSH, leather, a sun roof and a towbar. The dealer gets the thumbs up on Autotrader too. It doesn't have heated seats or electric memory seats, both of which I have in the 75 but I only use the memory function. It's a tough one though. Time to make plans to go see it. |

The W211 is a decent car. The W210 is most certainly not.
