Hello everyone. A 1.9 Saab 9-5 with 200,000 km on the clock, year 1998 or a 1.8 Mercedes C180 with 183,000 km, year 1996. Both are priced the same. Which one should I go for? I would be using it for short trips of between 1 and 3 km, maybe 40 km in total per week. Thanks.

Saab. No question. Mercs that age are dreadful cars. Also the 180 is very slow.

Buy the Saab. I have a '97 900 and it is great. Trust me the 9-5 will be safer, more practical and it is more unique as well as having a turbo.
