The Appeal

This Mercedes E240 has managed to reach more than twenty years old without breaking the 40,000 mile barrier. Being driven less than 2,000 miles a year has left it in great shape throughout.

These quietly dependable Mercedes are renowned for their comfortable ride and the V6 petrol engine is a smooth runner. This makes the car ideally suited to long distance drives where you want to arrive fresh at your destination.

Coming with a long MOT, this Mercedes should continue to provide years of pleasant motoring, quietly getting on with the job of getting you from A to B.
