Hi,
Im totally new on the Mercedes scenes - I have been a Vauxhall man for my entire life!!
My wife and I are expecting our first born in 3 months and are looking between now and then to replace our trusty but small Vauxhall Corsa with something a bit bigger.
Being a vauxhall man, i jumped to thinking Astras/Vectras. My wife has always been keen on the A Class & peronsally im impressed having seen first hand one take a heavy frontal impact with very good results.
I would be thinking about something (probably diesel) maybe between 02 and 05 registered. i do roughly 12k miles per year, split 60/35/5 between country/town/motorway miles.
Can anyone offer me some advice on what to look for, what to avoid and any nigling problems that affect the A-Class. Also, in terms of running costs and repairs would i be looking at a whole lot more than I currently pay with my petrol 1.4 16v Corsa Sxi??
Thanks in anticipation!!
