I think this is good value if it can be bought for under £11K depending on why the low grade 4 (not in Black Horse):

MERCEDES-BENZ C300 H 2.1 SPORT Saloon, 4 doors, Auto/Manual Mode, Diesel/Electric,  102,771 miles, Warranted, VAT Type: VAT Margin,  Registration Date 26/11/2015, Grade: 4

There was a clean 11 plate C Class in Newcastle a few weeks ago 460000.It did about £1700.As for Black Horse B/bushe we used to get the odd good one out of there.( providing they needed paintwork ) this was before online buying.I used to like doing Blackbushe,great sale if you are switched on.

Covers almost every combination imaginable other than the much-loved petrol :-)

That is the sort of thing that you think you should have a good chance of buying.However you might find Car Giant have £1500 more than you for that.How often does that happen.

With just over 100K on the clock and with that Grade 4 I am hopeful that their buyer will overlook it. It it was 95K and Grade 2-3 he'd be all over it.

I'm not sure if things have changed but a lot of Black Horse used to be populated by a lot of 'snatch backs'.

 

Near 50% judging by the NO V5 on the auction sticker but in the PCP era the other 50% are just PCP returns, some of them in almost retail condition and with all paperwork. A lot of BMW and JLR models in good colours, good spec and they have "any bid considered" attitude at the rostrum :-)

It’s very clean actually, going through shortly but I spotted a couple of more interesting examples. 

[Nick M.K. 574]

Sold for 12800, just under Cap Clean. Another C300H, a year older and higher miles (almost 90000) sold for £14800 but it was nicely modified, will try to post some pics later.
