The 2009 Mercedes E-Class is Overlooked as a Used Car

In this week's show, the trio talks rising tyre prices, Malaysia's first premium automotive carrier, and BMW Group's acquisition of Alpina. After that, they mull over two new small European electric cars in the form of the Mercedes EQA and the Volvo XC40 Electric, and the dilemma that Malaysian electric car buyers have with those two. Finally, in Part 3, it's all about the W212 Mercedes-Benz E-Class as Daniel tells us that for around RM60k, it's probably a bargain in the used car lot. With a three-pointed star on its bonnet, its fantastic build quality and a range of very-economical engines, would you want anything more from a used Mercedes?
