Make sense to got for a Mercedes?
Is changing a 2ltr dsl 2016 monedo for a 220d amg premium plus Mercedes e class a bad financial move
Our answer:
Hi Mike,
No, it probably makes sense. The Mercedes is less like to depreciate as steeply as the Mondeo from hereon in and it should have an engine that is better resistant to any changes in legislation relating to CO2 emissions. It’s also a more prestige car than the Ford.
