Ec220cdi whatis it like?
I have been offered a good deal on E220CDI with avantgarde, 6cd, phone install.
I have not had a diesel before. Is this engine noisy compared to other mftr diesels? and how is the acceleration?

quite noisy cf to e320 which is smoother.
Power is OK but if u need something sporty go for 320, 270 is 5 cyls and not very smooth cf to 320 but still quieter than 220.
If u want options go for 220cdi..i have the car with sand leather, avantgarde, and parkatronic.. Its good choice...unless your a racer.
Mind me asking what your paying for it and what reg is it.....to see if its a good deal....i know dealers can rip you off.

With the options you have listed the on the road price comes to
£32104.
I would seriously consider having leather for another £950. Not only will it be easy to maintain your resale value will be better. If i was buying used leather would be a MUST at this price range/Exec class car and u will be offered more come resale.
The dealer has given you 1000 quid off which is more than what some offer.
If you really have to buy new then i would negotiate another 500 quid off.
I would also consider going for used, since these cars have been out nearly 2 years and there are a number about now. But it is difficult to get low mileage examples.
A 2yr old 52plate E220Cdi Avantgarde Auto with leather with around 15-17k miles can be picked up for 26/27K from dealers or btw 24-25K privately.
Thats a saving of 6-7K privately or 4-5k with dealers. Also your car is likely to lose just 2-3k per year after 2 yrs compared to 4-5K in the 1st/2nd year.
I am considering P/X mine for a FRV in November or the New ML next year due to the requirement of a people carrier if I don't sell it b4 then.

I had an ML270CDI for a week, an E270CDI for a day and then the 320CDI for a few minutes (I could have had it longer
) before committing my hard earnt money. (My wife thought she liked the ML until she actually got in it, then spent a week trying to like it)Engine noise on the E-class has NEVER been an issue for me, and I defy anyone to come up with any figures which show the 320CDI to be noisier than its petrol equivalent above tick-over.
The 220 will obviously be slower than its bigger brothers, but I have yet to read of anyone saying that the engine has POOR performance. Go for what you want, and enjoy the ownership of such a wonderful vehicle.
Good luck with your decision,
John
