When I work out how to post some pics, I will !!
She has only done 78,000 kms !! and is clean as a whistle, slightly lowered with 18" Brabus alloys, everyhting else as standard! And all this including shipping, registration, import duties, serviced, mot and transported from southampton for just under £7000.00
Now I need advice as I have not owned a 500E before.
What checks should I do on engine?
What advice and tips can you give me?
Does anyone know of any reputable merc service specialists in my area, Lincoln UK LN2 2EA
Regards | Advice? Well, when you press on the gas pedal, be sure the car is aimed where you want to go, as you'll be flung into your seat back and adjustments to direction while accelerating can be difficult . . . it's a great car, and you will not regret your purchase.
McBear will no doubt be along to give you insider tech tips.
