I've been looking at used cars and now I've got stuck between two different cars and can't choose.
1. Mercedes-Benz C 200 CDI Elegance Sedan 2008.
Has 76 000 km on the meter and costs 170' SEK.
2. Honda Accord 2,2 i-DTEC Tourer Kombi 2009
67 000 km and 170' SEK.
Which one is the best? How much more expensive is the Merc' to repair and service? What should I do?
The Merc' is the best looking and sexiest of the two, but the Honda is more useful and can load more. And cheaper to own presumably.
Have you driven both? That's usually been my biggest concern when buying a used car, how smoothly it drives now. Course, I'm usually shopping for ones much older than those.
At least here in the US, parts for Honda are surprisingly expensive, so there's not that huge a gap in maintenance costs. Of course, a large part of that is the huge number of "ricers" (perjorative for kids and their import cars who've watched "Midnight Club" and "Fast and the Furious" one too many times), so YMMV.
Honda engines last forever if you take care of them. MB, not so much.
Go with the Honda wagon. That's the Acura wagon here in the states, and that is a fucking great car.
