I am thinking about trading up to a 04 E class merc.
I have never bought a second hand car before so could do with some advice.
I keep an eye on the autotrader / CBG etc and notice that the 04 prices have not dropped since its become 2006.
Is there a good time of the year to buy / am i better to buy from a dealer rather than a private seller. I presume that the savings involved from buying in the North or UK would be nullified by VRT.
Any suggestions welcome eg the best model to buy etc or what mileage to look for etc.
