Hi
Please could some-one tell me if a diesel Mercedes car is a good idea,I have a petrol one now,but there just seem's to be so many diesel one's for sale,and not sure if it would be a good idea to change.As there is such bad news about diesel cars.
I do very little mileage,maybe only about 5.000 a year.
Thankyou for any advice.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.If you're only doing about 5,000 miles a year a diesel is not for you, unless the mileage comprises a few long trips rather than lots of short ones, as diesels need a good blow-out every couple of weeks to keep the particle filters clear. If you're prepared to give it a good, hard run every couple of weeks you should get one at a bargain price and get the benefit of the better fuel economy.
