That one was about 2.5yrs old with around 50K mileage. Didn't know you're BM fan(No offence). I dunno why but majority tell me to go for Merc over BM for preowned models above 4 yrs old or those reached certain mileage, could be the maint cost. I do have friends driving without any major problems too, guess sometimes it's luck...

My budget max around $110K, been checking out sgcarmart every day... price has really gone up quite a bit after COE rise.. guess have to be patient in searching for my first ever Benz...

Tks bro!

Hi alexera

quite decent budget you have there........

go with your heart............................Merc and BMW are good cars....

after-all you will be the one enjoying it.......

* yes luck do plays a part...........

[Guest alexera]

Thanks all again, for the time and invaluable advises!

Today went down to chk out this particular ride:

http://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=120097&DL=2066

Mileage acceptable at around $82K, overall condition not too bad except for some signs of engine oil beneath the Engine(dunno how you call it, a flat catchment area). 2 owners but most important price attractive at $80K and they can take in my current ride at a higher price.

I believe the ride could be from one of the fellow bro here(prominent 19" Rims), anyone happens to know the history? Dealer say he still driving a CLK or something.

congrats on your E240..I think it is a good choice to pick a V6. I note it comes with 19" wheels....whoa.....rather jittery ride.......but it looks good.

lol... you know what. after i bought my fl e200. i feel that i should've gotten an e230. since i can't afford it, it is not a problem. it is really good, less rough than the e200. but you need to know that e240 is NOT 7 gears, the plain vanila 5 gear only. (so the e230 can only be that much better!)

as long as you can stand the:

a) looks for the pre-fl (converting costs 8$k don't bother!)

vibrator brakes

c) slightly poorer build quality of pre-fl (imho)

then go go go!

Hahaha.... yo bro, you a bit fickle minded lah... from eyeing a NGT to your current ride E200K and now thinking of E230 .

But what amaze me is that there is not much diff in OMV between E200K and E230. Thus, not sure if it is a good idea to pay for the premium to go for a V6 7G-tronic.

hahahaha... nothing to do with being fickle minded. i just get more knowledgable. knowledge = bad.

yeah true, the difference is quite small. reason e200 (markup plenty) e230 (less markup) and the price equalised.

mm... any bro here come across any e200 with such OMV?

[Guest bbwannabe]

hmmm... the last time i saw a 2006 e200 PRE fl avgt is about 61-62k. 66k is quite believable actually.

[Guest ongmk168]

Went down to take a look at the car with my friend who is keen to buy on 22/3. But was sold later in the evening. This is a PI car elegant with high spec. Omv is $66k. 4 air con behind ( 2 in the middle with temp control and 2 more at the side pillar. ). Quite surprise there is also a keyless entry similar to the FL 06/07 model. Think is a good buy but unfortunately was sold off.....

[Guest 9339]

Very possible....

Some are with high spec like you had mention plus GPS with colour LCD.

Some standard spec OMV already at 61K.
