Often, when it comes to purchasing a used car, people look very closely at the mileage. Most customers look for cars with as little mileage as possible, hoping that they will be in better condition.
There are cases where kilometers do not completely dictate the condition of the car, there are cars with hundreds of thousands of kilometers traveled, but which present themselves very well both technically and aesthetically. These cars can represent very good deals, especially since most likely the owner or owners, if he has had more than one, have fixed the possible problems if the car has received proper maintenance.
Thus, in search of a used car, but also in good condition, I found a Mercedes-Benz E-Class from 2015. The car, even if it was used as a taxi, looks unexpectedly good. Also, the price could be quite a bargain, especially since we are talking about a large, premium class sedan.
Mercedes-Benz E-Class used as a taxi. The car has 400,000 km and looks incredibly good
The car I found on Mobile.de is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, car from the generation known as W212. Being a model produced in 2015, we are dealing with a facelift of this generation. The facelift of the W212 brought important changes, both aesthetic and technical.
The example in question has traveled 430,000 kilometers, according to the ad posted on the sales website. However, the car looks better than many other low mileage cars. The bodywork is straight, but has some minor scratches, indeed. Nothing serious that affects functionality in any way though. Of course, it is not as spectacular as a well-equipped example, but it offers the usual features.
Inside, the car looks really good for a taxi with over 400,000 kilometers on it. The upholstery on the seats is not torn, the cabin is clean, but wear is visible on the steering wheel. It’s a used car, sure, but it’s an item that can easily be reupholstered.
Under the hood we find the 2.2-liter diesel engine, with four cylinders, which produces 136 HP. It is connected to the 7G-Tronic automatic transmission, having a combined fuel consumption of around 5 liters per hundred kilometers.
The asking price for this Mercedes-Benz E-Class is 7,999 euros. Would you buy such a car that was used as a taxi?
