Class C or E?

[CheresX]

If you have any ideas about C and E classes that are for sale, starting in 2014 and going up to around 6K to 8K, please share them with me because I need to change cars. It would be great if it was close to Preston, but I might ask a member to have a look first.

Having driven both, I can say without a doubt that the E-Class has the more roomy and, on the whole, better interior. However, a 2014 C Class is not a vehicle I am familiar with.

Also, it depends on my budget and the cars that are currently on sale.

Do you have a specific body type in mind? If so, I can help you out. The E coupe is a high-quality C-class model.

Make sure the subframe is in good shape when the vehicle is this old.

That is a valid concern. Would consider both options, though upper management may occasionally insist on having three in the back.

I would gladly take another W211 class over an S204 C class since I have already taken both of them. Much more pleasant, and occasionally a better alternative, if three people need to ride in the back. The C class is fine in its own right, but the E is the superior all-arounder.

Two disclaimers: professional cab drivers from all over the globe can attest that covering 300,000 miles in an E is simple and inexpensive.

Furthermore, Madame Cholet has a preference for more compact vehicles, such as the C class, because she rarely sees passengers in the rear.

Energy drink or petrol?

For the C-Class, 2014 was a new model year. While W205 will be used for later models, W204 will be used for earlier ones.

The W204 and W205 gas-powered vehicles shared the same M274 engine, but the W205 had a 2.0-liter tank instead of 1.6-liters.

This diesel vehicle switched from CDI (ULEZ charge applies but no AdBlue) to d (ULEZ charge applies but no AdBlue) mode.

You should verify if the vehicle is E220CDI (no AdBlue) or E220d (AdBlue) since the W212 runs until 2016 and also got the AdBlue version of the OM651 in 2014.

Unfortunately, the E220 petrol is likely to use the less-than-ideal M271 engine.

Identifying the best engine for your needs Those vehicles must have 642 horsepower if you're comparing them.
If we now compare the 204 to the 651, and the 211 to the 646, we can see that the 211 is an even better vehicle.
An easy-out EGR, no DPF, and no AdBlu. Gets more than 50 mpg with ease.

I can't make up my mind whether to sell the Viano (651 model) or the S211 (646 model). I think it would be reliable to run the 211 for a while. However, my heart is arguing because it's retro.
