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. Things to watch out for here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/carbycar/mercedes-benz/e-clas...d (though most of the problems were with the 2002-2006 cars, not the 2006 facelift).

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