I did near enough 20k miles in the gold one alone in the space of 12 months and never had an issue, never even had to lift the bonnet on it actually. The black one would have done the same again I'd say but I didn't keep it as long. They were great cars. I was literally in every corner of the country in the gold one and could always step out of it feeling fresh as a daily no matter how long I'd been on the road. By this stage most of them have been sorted I'd say. I'd recommend one to anybody and just advise checking the history for preventative maintenance re. the oil pump or just pay to have it done, you'll have a great car then.

I paid €2500 for the gold one and sold it for about 17 I think, but I had well gotten my money’s worth by the time I was done with it. The black one was €3000 and I ended up trading it for an 06 CLS after a few months. But they are well in bangernomics territory now. Look for the best example you can afford (a well put together is the first good sign IMO) and go from there. Ring and ask about history, go and check for yourself but to be honest at this stage in their lives I wouldn’t really be worried about one issue that has been around and recorded for the last what, 12-13 years?
