Im looking to buy a 2002 (or later) C220, i wanted a CDI Avantgarde, but cant really find one.. how much will i miss out on if i go for say a classic or something?

Im wanting an Auto, is there anything with this particular car that i should check for?

Probably be a high miler, nearly at or over 100k miles, will that cause me problems?

Cheers.

Hi

I have a 2004 CDI 200 Estate, bought quite cheap from Mercedes themselves at a 'Nearly New Car center'in Brussels. It's run by the Mercedes importers. Do you have those places in England? www.nncc.be (all LHD's though)
Anyway, mine's a Classic, plenty enough spec in it for what I need. A mate of mine has one with 347 000 KMs (don't know the miles) and its been trouble-free. Not even had a new clutch yet.
I'm really happy with the car and the service by the dealers.
I bought it with 46000 KMS, it's got 60 000 KMS now. I've heard the diesels are pretty much bullet-proof, as long as you let them warm up and do the oil changes. Manual gearshift is not exactly refined, but it's solid.
