Is a 100,000-mile Mercedes-Benz 320 a good buy?
I'm about to purchase a 2007 Mercedes 320 Avantgarde diesel auto estate with 99,000 miles on it for £9,999 from CarGiant. Do you think that’s a good buy?

Yes. It's the 2006 facelift with 2,000 improvements, it's the right engine and it's an estate. It's a bit high on miles, but it's better to buy high mileage and newer than low mileage and older.

Much better second attempt at CLK. Goes well, handles well and is comfortable. Attractive looks.
