My fiance wants an upgrade from her Astra Auto 1.6 Envoy and has her eye on this black/blue E240 Merc in a local dealership, it is the full loaded avantgarde and is a lot of car for the money, on insection all was going well when I checked the oil filler cap for mayo and there was plenty, I highlighted this to the dealer and he called over the mechanic, now he told me the car has sat for 2 month being started on and off only and this has caused this?
I had the car warmed up and it held temp ok, it sounded ok as well, the car is a 99 T reg with 90,000 miles, there was a fair bit of condensation from the exhaust
I am not usually concerned when buying a car for myself and have been offered a full 12month engine/gearbox warranty along with a new MOT and 6 months tax, what would you do??
Its the Astra + £1500 so is not a bank breaker but dont fancy buying a pup
This is the car
