MERCEDES-BENZ R320 CDI review in detail:
This is a large Mercedes wagon that is not just a mere mover of people, but more a spacious grand tourer. It's a big vehicle and is offered in either standard or long-wheelbase variants, the latter aimed at the business-express market and not simply as a carrier of kids.There is good stretch-out space for six occupants. The variable sliding centre-row seat lets you juggle who gets what in the way of legroom. The four rear seats can be folded flat to make for a positively huge load-carrying area.
Power comes from petrol engines of V6 or V8 configuration, there's also a high-torque turbo- diesel unit.
The latter has the sort of grunt many will enjoy sitting behind and yet uses considerably less fuel than the big V8 petrol. Many of the very latest in passive and active features are part of this Mercedes.
The R-Class will appeal to those who want the practicality of a 4WD but who don't intend to tackle any off-road running. However, it doesn't seem to be selling as well as the ML-Class vehicles with which it shares some components.
Testimonials
I drove around in my old car most of today and decided that I really had enough of it. Your quoted price of $18,200 is at least $1,000 cheaper than any of the others; I have been to three different dealers and haggled all day long.

Just to let you know that we took delivery of the new Mazda SP23 last night with the customer service from the dealer first class. I would like to take this oportunity in thanking you for your help, professional advice and most important getting me a great deal on the Mazda SP23 that I would never have achieved.

Thankyou very much Carbroker.com.au for helping us to buy our new car. We are very happy with the process of buying a car through Carbroker.com.au. We usually have big arguments over haggling so it was a great relief to get CarBroker to do all the hard work to relieve the stress on us and our marriage. And we still got a great price!

Just a short note to say thank you for brokering the purchase of my new car. The MX-5 is fantastic and what's even better is the great price you negotiated for me. The Paint Protection went on with ease and the finish is superb. I'm glad you recommended it. The entire experience has been a positive one for me. I will gladly recommend your company to any of my friends or family who are thinking of purchasing a vehicle in the future.

I know what you mean when you say 'buyer's remorse'. I've had it each time I bought a new car except this time. It's a great feeling to a) get a great price b) avoid the huge stress. Seeing things from 'the other side' has made me a convert: This is the way to buy a car! Thanks for a great business.

...In any event, and irrespective of which car she decides on, we will certainly be using you and Kim (your finance broker).

I took delivery of the new car today. Until it actually happened I had a concern at the back of my mind that it was too good to be true to get the car at the price you obtained for me, with no catches. The dealer rep has been great and I have had no sense of getting cut price service to go with the low price. So, thank you. I am sold and based on my experience I am sure your business will continue to grow simply by word of mouth....mine will be among the loudest.

Thank you again. I could not have asked for better service. Having been faced with unhelpful dealers it was just so easy to place a Internet request on Thursday and to be in a new car Monday afternoon, it was more than I could have asked for. I would definitely recommend the services that you provide, without hesitation.
P.H., Canberra
All went well with the sale - your dealer was helpful, friendly and arranged the tray with no fuss or fanfare. The whole process has been totally painless and I will (and have been) recommend your service to everyone.

Thanks for the quote. I am kicking my self slightly. In the weekend I went to my local dealer to test drive the car and was offered exactly my spec with 1500km on the clock. 3 months old for $55K (the GMs car). I had to make a call on the spot because another chap was also looking at it. I thought this would be pretty hard to beat so i went for it. If i had waited i guess i would have an absolutely new car and with 12 months worth of rego not 9. We live and learn. Next time. Thanks and regards
