Asked by Pat
I'm looking at a used 2011 Mercedes-Benz B180 that’s done 93,000 km. I usually travel 115 km each day and I'm wondering if the car is up to this? Does this model have a reversing camera, Bluetooth? Are parts, repairs and services at a fair cost? The asking price is $17,990. Do you think this a good deal? I'm also looking at a 2015 Mitsubishi ASX for $19,990. Which is the better buy?
Answered by CarsGuide
6 Jan 2017The price is a little high; I wouldn’t pay any more than $15,000 for it. There’s no question about it doing 115 km a day, but at that rate the kilometres would quickly climb and you’d soon be in the danger zone where problems are more likely to occur. That’s where you would strike the problem of expensive parts, repairs and servicing. You would need an independent mechanic to look after it at a reasonable rate. Bluetooth was standard, but a reversing camera was optional. I wouldn’t recommend it. At $19,900 the ASX is a better buy.
