Should I stay away from the older Merc E200 K?
Hi there,
I looking at a 1998 Mercedes-Benz E200 Kompressor (Sports, petrol) with 52k miles on the clock. Local mechanic says this petrol model is troublesome, specifically oil leaks with typical repair bill of at least €3k, and rear axle bearings wear - wait for a diesel model is the advice... too pesimistic or not?

Can sun cream cause paint issues?
Hi, I'm currently looking at a metallic blue Volkswagen Jetta 1.6 petrol. Myself and my girlfriend are a bit worried by faded patches in the paint. Could it have been caused by acid? We have asked the car dealer what it is and he said it was caused by somebody touching it with sun cream. What do you think?
Thank you, Dylan.
