A-Class, second hand

It’s a Saturday morning and the previously sunny weather has decided to take the weekend off, so while it’s dull and grey outside the colourful world of car buying has lured me back to my laptop.

Earlier this week I wrote about the outgoing Mercedes-Benz A-Class and what interesting second hand cars they might make. Time for some fantasy garage shopping.

Awarding myself a budget of £12,000 – about what I spent on my current car – and an age limit of just one year I turned up 22 cars within 25 miles of GreenMotor central, through the Mercedes approved used scheme. Of those, 10 were diesels, 12 petrols. Six were manuals and the rest automatics.
