Hi Niall,

I wouldn't unless it has an utterly perfect service history and has been cared for with the softest of kid gloves. At that point in its history, Mercedes was going through a massive engineering and reliability hiccup and at that price level you're probably buying something that's not been properly looked after at some point in its life. Avoid.
