nope, albeit a good car the Merc, I prefer what you have now

[miggy]

Very nice Steve, always liked the Mercs

 

[Elite Pete]

You've got too much time on your hands Thats not a patch on the Alfa

[Jimbob]

looks nice.....but it's not a meega  

[Baron Von Spongebob]

I think its nice anyway  

Try and keep it until after xmas at least Steve  

[STMO123]

Thanks for pointing out it's not an alfa or a meega

I've never had a merc, and I must try everything.....or.......how will I know?? Eh??

[Taxi_Driver]

Look for leather, climate and a 5 speed auto (usually tiptronic on mercs)
A diesel is preferable.....but thats upto you....

The above makes them easier to sell on  

Not that you would......but never ever buy a manual merc  

Remember people that buy 2nd mercs want luxury.....having to change gear via a funny 3rd pedal is a no no

i'm on the hunt for an elite, not just settling for what i have!!

enter "elegance" in your search for a merc, i believe that's top end.. could be wrong

From what I've been reading, that model of Merc suffers from rust.
Especially behind the front wings, but, more importantly, the main
front crossmember can rot clean through.

The last proper Mercs were the old 190 and 200 series.
Everything more recent is no better, and in a lot of cases actually
worse, than any other modern car.
In my opinion, they trade on their brand image, which is now cheapened.

A lot of folk buy cars for Image, and, in my opinion, pay through the
nose for an equal or inferior product.

And yes, I still own a Merc, a 14 year old 190 owned for 12 years, but
I wouldn't even consider paying the premium charged for owning
one of the modern Mercs nowadays.
