Could have been an FPACE

I know what you mean...

If that's not quite what you wanted, give them a call anyway as they can probably source it.

My E Class came from them, and I found them very easy to deal with, and although they aren't a Mercedes Dealer per se, they are an official Mercedes service centre so have access to the slightly higher mileage stock from MB Sheffield

Mrs AA has just swapped her '05' plate Astra for a '17' plate Astra K Sri 1.4 petrol auto.

Quite impressed with it.

[Jimbob]

Same boat here, keep looking at auto trader, but cant find anything that really appeals to swap the E-Class for.

Thar'll do

Better boot than the hatch too

I just don't like the idea of Mercedes dealers. The nearest one to me is in Wakefield and they have a reputation of looking down their noses at anyone driving anything less than a brand new £40,000+ model.
It could be worse. My mate traded his Audi Q against a Jaguar EPace (I think) and they looked at the Q like it was a piece of shit 

Lets face it, all franchised dealers are scum.  But the more apparently prestigious the marque, the more crap the dealers are. So that means the likes of Jaguar and Mercedes dealers are probably the worse out there, now BMW and Audi have dropped down to Ford levels of prestigious.

A class does have a variety of reliability concerns according to my contact, but then all modern Mercedes do TBH.  However, if you are only going to keep it for the warranty period, is that such an issue, except the inconvenience of potentially being carless until the dealer has a slot? Depreciation on MB's coming to end of warranty can be quite high, though less on the A class, as somebody will always buy it just because its Mercedes Benz and its a cheap way of keeping up with the Jones'

Oh, and that reminds me, Big Bro who had to go without aircon for several months last year in his brand new S Class due to lack of availability of parts for the unreliable PoS was finally offered £500 off a new Mercedes Benz as a goodwill gesture for the inconvenience.

He took the option to tell them to shove the money up their jacksie.  And has since handed back the car as the lease expired.  Needless to say, despite his inability to learn from mistakes*, he has not gone for another Merc



* He bought a Mk2 Grandad 2.8 Ghia back in the day.  Kept driving it even though the petrol gauge read empty, because the low fuel light didn't come on. Obviously the inevitable happened. Next tank, he did exactly the same, waiting for the fuel light to come on, with the same result

I'm not thinking about it any more, it's in the future and I shouldn't be thinking/worrying about it prematurely. But I do like to have all my ducks in a row, I reckon my son caught Aspergers off me.

Did he not see the light in the overhead console between the mirror and the sunrooof? actually that could dtart with a 'how'... It was always on on my Mk2 Grannies...

Along with the 'low screenwash', 'low oil' and 'low coolant' ones

No, because that light didn't come on.  Hence he ran out of fuel twice

We traced the fault to the connector behind the glovebox if memory serves. It hadn't been plugged in.  Hence none of those check lights worked

Ah, I see... He's always been a sucker for German build quality then...
