I’m looking for a used Mercedes XXX for commuting around Manchester, with a budget of about £12,000. I’ve never bought a car online before and I’m confused about which sites are trustworthy. Sorry if this is basic, but which websites actually list used Mercedes XXX vehicles for sale?

For a £12k Mercedes around Manchester, I’d start with the big UK sites rather than jumping straight into random Facebook listings. I’ve bought and sold a few Mercedes over the years, and these are the places I’d check:
- Auto Trader UK — usually the biggest choice, with useful dealer and price filters.
- Motors.co.uk — often has decent local dealer stock and occasional bargains.
- CarGurus UK — handy for spotting whether a listing is priced fairly.
- eBay Motors — worth browsing, but be extra careful with private sellers.
- Mercedes-Benz Approved Used — probably pricier, but the checks and warranty can be reassuring. For your budget, leave some money aside for insurance, servicing, tyres and an independent inspection. Make sure to check the MOT history, service records, mileage, and whether it’s ULEZ-compliant for Manchester travel. I’d avoid any seller pushing for a deposit before you’ve viewed the car in person.
