A find car for the money imo. Modern, safe, reliable etc etc. NCT to the end of 10/17 and tax until end of the month, service history looks good too. €2k.

I like this model, I'd take a punt on this for a grand if I was in the market

It's a 1992, so most of the rust issues have been ironed out, though beware the 5 month NCT and the chrome arches which may hide rust. Still a bargain IMO.https://www.donedeal.ie/cars-for-sale/mercedes-benz-e230/13827119

Hear a lot of warnings about the rust on K11's now, one off a mechanic when I saw one in his place getting some work, it was his main comment (rust), and also a lot of opinions/criticisms of them, but ours was reliable (1.0 litre version) up till when it was sold and was still seen on the road up till last year.

I'd take the W124 as a daily myself, but the fannying about with the insurance as a second car or as the partners car is ridiculous. We should be allowed to insure something like that as a bog standard daily driver with no other hang ups.

But the older the car, the less value left in it - and owners are prepared to put less and less into maintenance of those vehicles. We have seen fine examples even in the motors forum here. I know that NCT is supposed keep non-roadworthy cars from the streets - but it cannot catch all. I'd love to see the stats to back up that thesis, what is the average payout per policy in particular vehicle age brackets...
