They get about 20 mpg mixed driving... and are not too bad to maintain provided you don't have a mechanic who thinks Mercedes drivers are rich and or do some of your own work. They excel as daily drivers when they are in decent repair... but don't set the world on fire in any particular category.

Ahh... I wouldn't buy it... unless you know why it's doing that (could be a bad oil filter or could be something much more significant)... or just wanted it for a parts car. If it's been driven like that a lot it would not be a good thing. Oil pressure should be pegged over 2000 rpms, if it's not there is a problem.
