Used Mercedes M-Class cars for sale ...
The M-Class was one of the earliest prestige 4x4s and is built with a separate chassis, like a Land Rover. The result is that it has a more equal blend of on- and off-road abilities than many of its later rivals. So, whereas the M-Class isn't as good as the likes of the BMW X5 and Volvo XC90 on-road, it can show them a thing or two away from the Tarmac.
This means that, if you spend a lot of time on the road, you'll be disappointed by its low-speed ride, obvious body roll and cumbersome handling. However, if you want a genuine off-roader, you may be willing to put up with its shortcomings.
What there's no doubt about is that the M-Class has one of the most spacious cabins of any of its rivals. It's on a par with the X5 for passenger and luggage space, and much better than a contemporary Land Rover Discovery.
Running Costs
If you just want to get into a 4x4 with a prestige badge, the M-Class makes a lot of sense financially. Because it's been on sale longer than the BMW X5 or Volvo XC90, the cheapest M-Classes are several thousand pounds less than the cheapest XC90s or X5s.
There's not much to choose between these three cars for running costs, though. Insurance groups for the M-Class are almost exactly the same as those for the X5, and no more than a group higher than the XC90's. Fuel economy and servicing costs look very similar, too.
However, it's worth bearing in mind that a four-wheel-drive estate car such as the Audi A6 Avant Quattro will cost much less to run.
You can also expect high bills if you need unscheduled maintenance. Hourly labour rates and average repair bills for Mercedes are among the highest around, although the bills are no worse than those for Jeeps and Land Rovers.
