• Mid-90's Merc E-class coupe? 20 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I'm looking to spend about £8-9k. I don't want something run-of-the-mill, I'd prefer something a bit special. My eye was recently caught by a Merc E320 coupe, 'M' reg. I see there's a good selection on Autotrader. I guess 80-90k miles will be the norm. I've heard Mercs are good for 200-300k
