Affordable Used Mercedes Benz E Class for sale on Finance in Reading

The popularity of the E Class highlights why it’s a great option to buy, both new and used. With so many on the road it means that there’s deals to be had on second hand, or used, Mercedes-Benz E Class models.

While the headline cost of buying an E Class can sometimes seem a little out of reach, the day to day run costs of the car are actually fairly reasonable. And, if you’ve picked up the car used there’s even better chances for a good deal to combine with the running costs. The car offers an option for an automatic gearbox as well as low CO2 emissions on the petrol 300e and diesel 300de plug-in hybrids.

Some of the slightly beefier engines drastically increase the CO2 emissions, so keep that in mind when you’re looking at a used E Class.

The E Class is excellent in terms of safety, with the most recent generation boasting 7 airbags, tyre pressure monitoring, a tiredness sensing system, auto-drying brakes and a bunch of other superb features. All of these come together to help make a really safe experience, and that’s without even bringing in the ‘Drive Pilot’ system, which offers a number of automatic features aimed at taking the pressure off driving, like road sign reading, cruise control and other factors. It’s essentially as close to auto-driving as you can get in today’s market and when combined with your own driving it adds an extra layer of safety.

The interiors are stylish and comfortable, without being anything special. But that doesn’t mean they aren’t still excellent. The seats and steering wheel are adjustable and there’s a number of other features throughout the car that are aimed at increasing your comfort and the luxury feel.

The features of the E Class are excellent, even at the most basic level. So you’re unlikely to find yourself wanting. The most basic features include the likes of cruise control, keyless entry, an infotainment system, reverse park camera and a whole host of other bits. And that’s all before you look at any of the other models.

Any time you’re buying a car used, you need to look out for a few things, whatever the model or make. Always look out for any patches of rust or any other wear and tear. You want to keep an eye out for anything that could be costly to repair, especially with a Mercedes-Benz as they are notoriously expensive to maintain.

Always go for a test drive, this will give you a chance to spot any unusual noises, rattles or hums plus it will give you an opportunity to make sure it’s handling as it should.

The E Class is actually a fairly reliable car, but there are a few things you should take particular notice of. Always check the alloys for any corrosion. Replacements could be fairly costly, especially if it’s more than one wheel. Listen out for any juddering with the diesel models. There’s a known issue with injectors and this won’t be cheap to fix.

If you’re looking to buy a used Mercedes-Benz E Class then you may well want to consider car finance. Car finance will let you spread the costs of buying a new car out of a period of time, and with a luxury car like the Mercedes-Benz E Class, that could make all the difference.
