  • Cost of servicing a Mercedes is only horrid if you use a dealer. Use an independent, and it's no more expensive than most other similarly-sized cars.

    Plus at that mileage, a wallowy car is exactly what you need. You're not going to want stiff suspension, you'll hate it after a while.

    Cant say that I have ever felt sea sick in mine, in fact as someone who has traded down from premium brands to the C5 then I would say its the most comfortable cosseting car I have owned, and despite the reviews the handling is pretty tidy

    you must have traded down from an oil tanker then. they handle terribly.
