Mine's had one previous owner and the original purchaser cheaped out a bit on the extras so it doesn't have heated seats either. But, with only 52k miles on it it was worth having. I I did notice that yours has folding rear seats (handy) and the Becker Map Pilot too. The W204 series diesels are sadly not ULEZ compliant despite being extremely clean which is a shame. Speaking of which, at 2' 20" did you by any chance punch the "Eco" button to turn off that annoying Stop/Start? Yep, I do that too 😁

Good to see an honest trader. Plus doing business the right way will pay off in the end. You get a good name and set up a great network. This guy is an clear example of this. An successful honest businessman!

My friend has one of these almost in the exact same spec and he absolutely adores it, fantastic on fuel, great looking and fast enough for what he needs. He has his wheels in a hyper silver and they look grand. Interesting point of note is that Merc know the seats have issues with bolster and the bases so I believe you can buy the base separately from them for £70ish

Mate bought one of these and retrofitted an upgraded screen with carplay himself. They look great and super comfortable! Another great vid and much applaud your honesty ❤

I have watched most of your videos and I like the way you are honest about the way you operate. Used car dealers have a bad reputation but your videos explain the rationale behind how they make money (and why they are entitled to do so) very well. All used car dealers have a right to make a profit/living and most private sellers would not have the means/contacts to do what you do viz a viz improving cars and making them ready for sale. You guys make the used car buying experience easier; that's your job and you should be paid for it. Keep the videos coming

Good result Matt - when I first saw the headline, I thought you were going to discover a rotted-out rear subframe as these seem to suffer in that area (as a friend recently found out). Mercedes have been covering them on a goodwill basis however (shhhh)! Thanks for sharing as always 👍

What a fantastic attitude, sadly this kind on honesty is missing in a lot of todays world. It shows what kind of dealer you are. A very good one.

The first thing I ask when calling about a car is was it owned by a smoker or dog owner? If yes then it's definitely not a motor for me. Love these videos....keep them coming.

This one I like a lot. It's amazing how good this generation looks with a bit of caring. And yeah ok, it's the amg-pack. But still! All the shops did an amazing job!

I had a 2012 c220d AMG sport plus exact same wheels. I did 160k miles and never missed a beat…. Apart from the alloys cracking all the time. Apart from that I loved mine
