BMW 5 Series of C-Class Merc?

Hi I'm wondering if it is better to buy a 2011 bmw 5 series with 149,000km for €17,800 (manual) or a 2011 C class automatic with 130,500km for €17,000

Our answer:

Hi Grace,

Tough call. Very different cars – the 5 Series is bigger and comfier, the C-Class sportier and more compact. I guess with their prices being so similar, and assuming that they’re similar in terms of condition and history, you should go with whichever one you prefer on a personal level, but my temptation would be to go with the 5 Series – it is a really terrific car.
