- I scored very low on the autie test. I’m cheerful, happy, confident, like meeting new people, chatty and largely sociable. What the fuck am I doing on this forum?

Re: Maybe German? Talk me out of doing something silly please
Car popped up for sale local to me. Mercedes w202 c250 turbo diesel automatic. Short mot but up for 500. Decent mot history,never welded but it's got 220k nearly on clock. Anyone more knowledgeable on them than me please tell me if its worth a punt and sell c4 instead?

No its mine. Do you have anything constructive to add to your comment though? Not being arsed,I'm actually asking sincerely? Bad or good. I'm not gelling with the c4 and I do miss a diesel and want another auto

Well I'm taking a guess it's never welded. Had no signs on mot history of corrosion and never had advisories on rust or needed welding. I'm not fussed about welding though,owning citroen picassos does that to you to be honest. They rot sills for fun. I'm more interested in the engine and gearbox reliability, electrical issues and things like that.

I wouldn't let the mileage put you off in the slightest. Rust gives me the fear though.
Better the devil you know in this case.

Try the seating position, if I'm thinking of the correct model I find them painful after a short while, as in stop at every services to walk about and virtually have to crawl out of the drivers side
