I have a Mercedes Benz E 200 estate 2010 October model which has done 89000 miles. It has been fully serviced by a registered Mercedes Benz dealer. The cam chain has broken requiring a new engine at a cost of £11000. Mercedes have offered to pay half the cost. At most the car is worth £7750. They have offered me £6000 part exchange against another car but having had one of the 2001 model rust buckets I am not tempted! Will the fact that the vehicle has a reconditioned engine affect the resale value? Are you aware of the cam chain in these cars being a major issue? We know the owners of two others one of whom has had the same problem.
