Mercedes W211 over 300k km?
Good day,
I'm considering getting an E-Class W211 soon. However, I'm trying to keep my budget low and stay under €4,500. I've found a few stylish and well-maintained E-Classes for under €4,500, but they have over 300,000 km on the clock. Since the E-Class is a very sturdy car, I'd like to know if it's safe to get one with over 300,000 km on it. I'll only be driving the car for two years!
Regards and thanks in advance
Depending on that, at nem Benziner, I would be more cautious at 300,000km + if the diesel engines were installed in the then E classes taxis, which quickly hold 500,000km and more, have already seen those at 600,000km. A well-known rides an E280 6 cylinder, but W210 BJ 2000, which is petrol and has more than 300,000km on the clock.
Of course, you can do what you want, but I would be there in your place as a 2nd or 3rd vehicle. And if it were just a four-cylinder, I wouldn’t be right. In principle, there is not much to talk about when you have played the kilometers yourself. But I don’t know what to buy.
There are some who, for example, for relatively small money to score stars that were previously traveling as a taxi, because they often think the carts would otherwise have made them not so many kilometers. But it is necessary to distinguish whether the many kilometers originate almost exclusively from the long distance or almost only from the city traffic.
In the latter, the wear of the motor, clutch, transmission, gear, brakes, etc. is relatively high due to the continuous starting, braking, starting, braking. In addition, many different drivers will be driven with the car, all driving completely different. If you really want to buy a vehicle, you should really look at it very well from the roof top to the underbody protection and from the front to the rear skirt.
I used to have a Mercedes that made me more than 300.00 km reliable.
Then he quickly turned into a groschengrab.
Mercedes is a super car, but you should be careful with running performance.
The best way to check the car before buying.
Okay, thanks, but if you’re in checkbook, you shouldn’t be so risky or?
I’ll leave my fingers if I were you. It doesn’t seem like you have the idea of turning around with such a car.
